Was 1997 a good year for the S600? Does anyone have any personal experiences about this car to share (pros, cons)?
Does the S600 have rack-n-pinion steering or recirculating ball? Do S500 and lower S- and SL-series models for that year all have the same type of steering?
If purchasing an S600 within the 75-100k (maybe up to 120k) miles range what would I look for to be in good shape before buying (that would be otherwise foolish to overlook for fear of an exhorbitantly expensive repair later? And yes, I know basically everything's expensive ro repair/replace on such a car; I'm just seeking to find out the obvious as a prospective buyer of an S600 from 1997. A friend is trying to get me to buy his; still undecided.
What is the recommended oil grade for this car? I heard 0w-40 from Mobiloil.com but is that true? Car would be in the Northeast US.
