Using the existing brakes makes for a much more reliable system
than the electronically variable fluid coupled limited slip
differentials.

The W124 system was complex and needed frequent repair.

The W210 system consisted of three free spool differentials
instead of the usual one free spool found in a 2wd car.
In normal driving, the traction loss lamp starts blinking and the
back end gets a bit 'happy', without any detectable attempt on the
car's part to control the spinning rear wheels. Then I back off the
throttle and things go back to normal.

The one time I got exasperated enough at the stuck car to floor it
in the snow, the electronics took control of the throttle and braked
the spinning wheels. I still didn't go anywhere, the underlying problem
was that the snow packed in front of and under the car outweighed the
car. Took me a couple of hours to dig it out and get it back in its
parking spot. This is what happens when you try to drive the car
with 15-18" of snow in the driveway and 'all season' tires, it only goes
about 50'.

That one looks decent. I think 27mpg might be optimistic in a 4matic though but 
maybe possible. It appears to be well optioned though but not really sure you 
need 4matic and heated seats in Florida

2002 is the last/best year for the W210.
S210 was made in small quantity for 2003 model year. 
The facelifted 2000-2003 models are all about the same though. 
If you want to talk safety, BAC became standard in 98 or 99, 
ESP in 2000.
Chassis is lowered an inch or more from the 1996-1999 cars, so
that is a small advantage to my 1999 in Michigan winters & rough
roads and a small advantage to the newer 210s on clear pavement.
