Ticking time bomb Build quality is sub par and surpassed by Kia or Hyundai. Airmatic failures are certain and will set you back $4k+ to remedy. Clusters have been replaced under recall but will fail once more and cost over $2k to replace. Failed cluster renders the car undrivable, since you have no idea what is going on with speed or engine management. Plastic coolant parts that fail leading to overheating. Nav/edutainment system suffers cascade failures. Catastrophic converters plug up to the tune of $2k each side. They have next to no value retention unless there is low miles, complete records of constant dealer servicing, and it is in showroom condition. Sealed transmission WILL leak ATF and wick it up into the ECU
Great car to drive if it is working, but to be avoided. If you do need a w220 get the 2006 or find a w221. clay 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 2014 ‘yota Highlander - Haggis retired models- 1986 SDL - Polei 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored crap 1982 SD - Allen 1976 300D - Blei Vanst - it looks silvery 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers > On Sep 19, 2020, at 7:43 AM, Craig via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Any comments about the S430 ad below? > > What chassis would it be (W220?)? > > Anything to be wary of or pay attention to? > > Thanks, > > > Craig > > > https://albuquerque.craigslist.org/cto/d/santa-fe-you-can-be-part-of-the/7185712263.html > > 2003 Mercedes-Benz s430 4MATIC, Spacious and roomy enough for a small > family to fit in, Attractive, and elegant appearance!!!
