Ryan,
I've been told that the S600s are very expensive to maintain. For example,
while the injectors for a 500 or 560 are under $50, the injectors for the V-12
are around $300. ($400 vs. $3,600). Also some years are prone to engine wiring
harness failures. (They have two.) My tenant who lives in our guest house has
a '94 S600 that has RennTech mods. He's had to have one of the harnesses
replaced to the tune of $1,300. Also had a date who slammed the passenger door
causing the window mechanism to break allowing the window to fall down inside the
door. This cost him around a grand to have repaired. The windows are double
thick and quite heavy. He also gets only around 9-10 mpg in town. It is kinda
neat though having it parked in the driveway next to my '91 560. They are both
smoke silver with beige interiors and tinted windows.
