I was watching Kitchen Nightmares (8th episode, 1st season), it was the one in Babylon, NY. The owner was a muscle guy who turned out to be in the Bonnano crime family. On two occasions, someone showed up to the restaurant to collect money. On the second occasion, the owner flipped out and it was interesting how Ramsay did not hesitate to tell the henchman to get the **** out and he physically got between the henchman and the owner. The owner said **** *** you blow ***!! Guess what car the henchman pulled away in? A black LS430, probably a 2006.

What was not amusing. The father felled down really hard in that struggle. Poor old man....

As a previous owner of a 560sec and my father who still owns his 95 S600 coupe i can tell you this. There is NO comparison. The merc is way past the age where you'd enjoy it. There's a reason they depreciate. If you want a merc, and don't mind nosebleed expensive parts, do yourself a favor and go with a W126 vs a W140.
