The Greatest S-Class

RE: The Greatest S-Class
I recently traded in my 1988 420SEL for 1992 (140) 400 SE. I am unable to find information regarding the car. When I search for the 400 SE, the search results tend to direct me to another body style.
I want to know if the engine is 400 or 420, the original selling price, and if the nomeclature for this 140 is legitmate or someone switched designation. Thanks!

The 400SE, I call it the forgotten S-Class, you always hear 500SEL or S500, or S420. and it is legite
The 400SE has a 4.2 V-8 engine made in the years 1992-1993 production years.
Original selling price $77,900
282hp 302 torque
4 speed automatice transmission
13mpg city
17 mpg highway
Kelly B.Book $11,250-$13,050*
*Note: I don't think the Kelly Blue book people like german imports so the price are a little off. And top condition will sell and can be sold and found at dealerships for well over $13,000.
people also tend to forget that in the W14 body style there was also a 300SD (3.4 diesel) and 300SE (3.2) .

I don't know how often everybody checks the prices of what M-Bs are going for on ebay but it seems to me that you can get a w220 for the same price at a w140. Maybe its just the fact that they are better cars and the public and dealers know it.
I saw a 1996 S600 with 47,500mi with a but it know of $22,400.
I saw a 2002 S55 with a buy it now for $39,995 it had 83,000mi but still.
Why would anybody not buy these cars over a new C-class. Other than if something goes wrong with that 600 it might cost $10000 to fix. Just some food for thought.

Speaking of the 2007 i went to look at them the other day and i am disappointed in the fact that Mercedes in both the R-class and the -class are going to on-the-colum shifters i fell that a Mercedes should have an on the floor and "gated" shifter.
