1997 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 500 Sedan 4D review
I have owned a 1997 Mercedes S320 140 since 1999.
I have owned a 1997 Mercedes S320 140 since 1999. I bought it as a Certified Serviced Pre Owned car from Mercedes Benz "Carriage House" now South Atlanta Mercedes Benz. When I bought it, the delivery person told me "this car will last you a life time if you get all the services". He was right! I am taking it to have it painted because the clear coat has some blemishes in the finish on the top, hood and trunk lid. Other than a few minor electrical issues the car has given me the best for the price I paid. It has out lasted several of my relatives newer Mercedes models. It is 28 years old and running perfect. Motor and Transmission are perfection. Smooth ride on long trips. Very quiet inside. A battle ship feel when inside.

Vantage Auto The Collection review
I just purchased a 2003 Mercedes SL 500 from Jordan.
I just purchased a 2003 Mercedes SL 500 from Jordan. He was very honest and straightfoward and there was no haggling on price. I asked about having the vehicle inspected and they transported it a mercedes specialist shop. There were repairs that shop said needed and they paid to have the repairs done. No argument . I was very impressed with Jordan's professionalism and I would definitely do business with them in the future. Keep up the good work boys.
1997 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Base LWB review
Best of S Class the S320
W140’s 97 S320 is one of the best S class ever produced, i have owned W140 92 S500, that was a good first edition, but ran into transmission issues, owned 95 S420 super of a car loaded with all option but transmission issues at 60k or so miles, Had a diesel S350, wonderful experience and what a commute range. The S320 97, or i say all after that year were just superb of S’s, all flaws what the previous years saw were eliminated. i had no trouble whatsoever for the 80k i drove on , sold it at 267k miles and the current owner is enjoying it even more. A marvel of automotive technology !!

Worthy of the title......the best car ever made

Problems.....engine wiring(replaced)&moisture forming inside dist. Caps (i thlnk i have the remedy). 5of my cars cars are classics,which i will be reducing in numbers.

A dream on wheels
This car rides smooth, and even at this later stage in its life has a quiet engine that delivers smooth acceleration at highway speed! When I go somewhere I take the long route just so I can drive more!!
