Unreliable Electronics, but Saved my life!

Bought this S Class CPO in December of 2004. I ended up putting 110,000 miles on it and thank goodness it had a warranty. Something new broke every other week. Often times the ABC System went flat, and the electronics would just break in every imaginable way. Other than sub-par reliability, car was incredible. The comfort of the car was truly unmatchable. The Nappa Leather was soft and accompanied by plush, well-supported seats. The combination of this, the smooth M113 V8 (Which never had any issues), and smooth suspension (if it wasn't broken) was incredible. The performance of the car is surprising, as it doesn't corner as bad as most large luxury cars and the V8 has plenty of power. Eventually, the car was rear ended by a box truck at 50mph. The car suffered from frame damage and was totaled out. After saving my life, I cannot thank the car enough.

The only disclaimer I would say is the air ride can be finicky sometimes but usually does not affect ride quality. It is a heavy car but moves very fast and corners quite well.

Too Many Glitches for $100k car

This has been a love-hate relationship. The dealership has been great about fixing things, but now that I'm out of warranty with 57k miles, it seems like too much is going wrong. Tire pressure sensors, AC failures, oil leaks... despite all that, it's the most comfortable ride I've ever owned. Great balance between smooth handling/feel and keeping in touch with the road.
