"I purchased this car in 2005...it was 14 years old. Other than regular maintenance, it has been trouble free. The A/C was converted by M-B and is not as cold as the old refrigerant. The overall quality is excellent. I love the interior, it's very comfortable and quiet. The trunk is huge. They styling turns heads, and I get compliments regularly. This is easily the best car I have ever owned. I highly recommend buying one...just make sure the one you get is not abused, as a well maintained S-Class will be a loyal and true friend that will last a long time.."

"You may correctly guess that this was and will always be my perfect car. It was everything I ever wanted in a car - comfort, style, reliability. To me, it was my introduction to driving a car beyond the everyday experience. The only thing that separated us was someone running a red light and even that proved the safety factor in this car. It protected me from what could have been a deadly crash. It was built for safety and stability. I cannot say enough about the beauty of this vehicle. It truly was my perfect car! Never turn down the opportunity to own one of these fabulous cars."

"Love this car--I bought it used 7 years ago and plan to drive it to 250K miles and beyond. Only complaint: The HVAC system is rather primitive. AC is adequate but the heater is pretty much on or off. Fortunately it' not much of an issue here in SoCal."

"Exceptional match of engine and transmission. 5.6 Litre, big block V8, with 287 foot lbs. torque. Most nicely-sculpted MBZ ever?"

"Mercedes built a long well-deserved history of building the best diesel-powered cars ever. They threw that out the window when the 3.5L diesel was built. Very seldom will you find a 350SD, 350SDL, S350D, or 1992-93 300SD (still a 3.5L) that hasn't had an engine replacement by 100K miles. Mercedes had a good thing going with the 3.0L 5-cyl. and 6-cyl. engines. My 1984 300SD 5-cyl. car has 676,700 miles, still going on the original engine with no overhaul. You'll never see that with a 3.5 engine. The car itself is a work of art, awesome quality, but the engine is junk. As an avid MB diesel enthusiast with many years experience, I wouldn't recommend a 3.5L MB diesel to my worst enemy."

"What a wonderful driving machine! This car has heart and soul. It has rock solid reliability and is a pleasure to drive. The controls are clear concise and easy to reach. Visibility is tremendous. You can ride in it all day and not be beat up. It is a heavy well handling car that loves the open road. It has great acceleration cornering and braking. I will drive this car the rest of my days if it is up to me!"

"I've had quite a few...this one was awesome. Very reliable. Burned some oil but didn't leak a drop (of any fluid). Very reliable. Only downfall: poor milage! Not an economy car. Smooth ride. Much more reliable than newer Mercedes. They should have continued making these!"
