Used 1999 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Sedan Consumer Reviews
Live your dream and drive this jewel 1999 S500!
My W140 1999 S500 Sedan, is one of the best cars I have owned, is a dream to drive and very good on gas despite his big powerful engine. Parts are not crazy expensive but not cheap either, but the car is bullet prof if you maintained him correctly. leave him OEM or modd him with HR sport spring + nice 18'' set of wheels and you will have a modern classic beauty. Ride comfort is amazing and acceleration and handling will surprise you, if you want a car for the weekends, this is the choice! Update: this car just doesn't break down, what a solid car, after driven more that 10k is still solid.

Finest car made at any price - bar none
I have owned this car for about 2 1/2 years now and it's the finest car ever. Solid car that is extremely fun to drive. The car rockets from 65 MPH to 85 MPH at the press of the accelerator, great for highway cruisin'. I have had nothing but regular maintenace costs, no repair bills so far. I would argue that if you like the style of a Mercedes, buy it, it could be the last car you buy for many many years. Besides as for as safety goes you will be keeping you and your family safer in this car than ANY other car at ANY cost. That's value!!

Super Auto
Bought used, to replace 1995 S420. All around better auto. Great on long trips, bit tedious in local driving. Flexible service a real plus, only functional problem is opening/closing windows/sunroof with fob. Excellent acceleration and passing power. Definitely one of the finest autos I have ever owned. Dealer service has been splendid.
S420 - The only car
First true luxury car. Fun to drive. The acceleration is outstanding for a car of the size and weight. Great car for traveling. Noise level is very minimum compared to other vehicles. There is plenty of leg room for a 6'2" 245 lb guy. Service record has been excellent. The only major item to fail was covered by a warranty plan. I would purchase another if I had the chance. This one will be in my stable for a long time.
WORST CAR EVER
I have owned many cars prior to this MB, from Infiniti, BMW, Land Rover, Cadillac, Buick, Audi, and more. Never have I experience more troubles than I have since purchasing this car. I have had the car in service every month that I have owned it...from squeeks to transmission problems. And the service and sales from MB is the same at the quality of this car. Although I thought this car alone was a lemon, I soon realized that is not the case. Many others who own S-Class Mercedes have the same disappointing stories. My advice...AVOID this car at all costs!
