Explore the 1999 Mercedes-Benz S-Class

The best car you can ever own.

If you are looking for an extremely safe and reliable car. Forget all others. None can compare to a Mercedes Benz. I have driven Lexus, BMW, Jaguar and even Bently. NOT EVEN CLOSE!!! In particular the W126 and more so W140. The amount of engineering and design that went into these vehicles is unparallel to anything on the road then and now. If you can find a Mercedes that has been properly taken care of - you have found a treasure that you will enjoy for years to come.

Greatest car any one will aver drive

I HAVE OWNED 6 OF THESE CARS AND NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THEM. THE ONLY THING I DO IS PUT SNOW TIRES ON THEM IN THE WINTER CHANGE OIL REGULARLY AND DRIVE THEM LIKE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE DRIVEN. I AM A SPEEDER BUT THESE CARS WILL GET YOU TO A PLACE YOU NEED TO BE WITHOUT YOUR NOTICE BECAUSE OF THEIR COMFORT. DON'T EVER GET INTO YOUR GRAVE WITHOUT DRIVING A V12 MERCEDES BENZ BECAUSE YOU WILL HAVE NOT FULFILLED LIFE'S DREAMS.

99 S320 - Safe, Comfortable, Solid

I've had this car for about 3 months now. I can say that I'm glad I bought it. It is big, solid, quiet and has adequate power. I honestly feel quite safe and will drive it knowing that my chances of surviving an accident are pretty good. It gets good gas mileage for a car this size. Very smooth. If you buy one, join some of the many enthusiast websites for common problems and fixes. Otherwise, you may regret buying this baby. Somewhat expensive to repair if you're not handy. And if you're not handy, knowledge gained from these websites will help you when you take it to a trusted mechanic. So far, the only thing that has gone wrong is the mass air flow sensor - a common problem. Dealer wanted over $400.00 just for the part. I purchased the part from an online parts place for less than half that and installed it in less than 5 minutes. Good as new.
