Hey, we had a Mercury Sable (as well as a Ford Taurus). They were not
bad cars.
The Sable had electrical gremlins that bugged us but apart from that it
was a nice car. It rode well and had pretty decent power for a basic 3.0
pushrod engine.

I would agree. If you’re looking for some really nice, well appointed
transportation, the W220 is a good choice. Later is always better, as the
Chrysler influence gets less and less as time goes on.
My youngest, the W140 snob, turned up his nose the first time he got into the
car. “Pleather?!? Wow, Dad, that’s really lame.”
Sadly, he’s right. It’s appointed nicely, but for those of us who understand
the detail and quality of materials used in earlier models, it’s pretty awful.
I would liken it to a Mercury Sable in some respects. And it looks pretty much
like one, too.
There are some nice features and it is very comfortable. That’s pretty much
where the similarities end with prior models.

It is fine. Not at all sweet. in the manner of a w126. Not at all like the
W140. Cheap plastic, sort of junky. If you do think you need one, get the
2006 series.

The Benz brand is just another extension of Korean design. I grow tired of
trying to unlock Kia and Hyundia in parking lots because the dang things look
too much like the W220

No, just considering this as a second car if the price would be right.
Why, you want the S430?
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again:
After the W140 Mercedes became a commodity, I think. The styling does nothing
to distinguish the cars from any others on the road. The fit and finish isn’t
that great, and the build quality is so-so. Interiors look fake and plasticky,
not luxurious.
The S430 is a good car, and I’m happy with it as transportation, but unlike
models that preceded it, it has no soul.
