GERMAN AUTO

Full size 4 door sedan with lots of room and a cloud style ride. Performance. Just hit the pedal of this 500 and hold on. I have had 8 Mercedes Benz, and this one is a super car as the rest were. You can find a low mileage one in great shape for a fraction of the original sticker. I like to let someone else absorb the depreciation. Just be careful to buy a hand picked, cherry picked one.

Who knew a full size sedan could perform so well!

It's a head turner for sure. Quietest car I have ever driven. Sound system is awesome stock. Rear passengers ride in luxury. Every option there is!

Most pleasant to drive

A standard of classical comfort other car makers took 20 years to achieve . Mercedes class is something like a character. It can't be copied, it is a unique experience, expensive though. A species of itself.

S430 Merc

Car was great except on mileage but very comfortable and powerful, luxurious. Engine was strong and capable. Best value for your buck. But has to be maintained well and regularly.

Poor Reliability But Worth The Money

This is a nice, large, limo style car. The car has a very comfortable ride, lots of space/ very practical, great for the money. The biggest down side to the W220 S Class (2000-2006) is the reliabillity. I have had a few issues with my car such as, gear selector stuck in park, soft close door failure, rear sunshade failure, ESP wont turn off and more. Most s class of this generation suffer from air suspension failure, mine has been fine. I feel that the interior meterial quality is lacking and the paint is a bit thin. Another thing to look out for on W220 cars in body rust. My car is pretty rust free but I suspect the previous owner kept it in the garage.
