What's interesting is that I heard/read that in the early 90's the W140 S500 used to cost a $200k. That's S65 territory now

I wonder if it's true.

When the W140's first appeared in the US in the early 90's, the pricing matched the size of the cars with a 400SE (no misprint - short wheelbase) priced in the mid $80's. The S500 was in the mid 90's. List prices and dealer margins were re-aligned in 1995, with substantially reduced pricing, and initially small or non-existent discounts. Considering it's 20 years later, the S400 at under $90k is quite a bargain, at least pricewise.

Sounds odd and I haven't found any information on the actual cost on the internet.

Probably it isn't $, but DM - which was the currency in germany at that time. 200.000 DM is about 100.000 € today. Found a pricelist of the W140 though:

Preisliste Mercedes-Benz W140 12/1994

The LWB W140 S 500 was priced with 142.000 DM which is about 73.000 €!
