Thumbs up Couldn't Resist

I know i shouldn't have, but i couldn't help it. If you love s classes as much as i do, specially the old ones, new ones are sort of , this is awesome, not my color combo, but u get the idea. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Cars-...m230264906620&

Meh, not fond of this one at all. My favorite S-class is W140, I think its the best looking luxury car ever.

I dont know, my parents have that gen S500, I believe its either 2000 or 2001, they never had any problems with it, althought the air suspensions causes some weird vibrations... I observed it in a few S classes of that generation. But while a nice car it just doesn't do much for me, I like LS430 way better, except LS430 doesn't come with LWB.

But thats only because every other car maker keeps making their cars uglier and uglier, lol. Except for Audi and Aston.

hmm welll it wasnt just the s class, the early 90's was great for large sedans,. the ls was nice, but no lwb, the jag i also liked, all the way up until 2003 then they changed it and the new one is ok, but its to sporty. the 7 series was boss up until 2002, in my opinion, and well hell i even liked the caddilac fleetwood, i wasn'ty old enough to know, but if you had game and you drove a fleetwood back when it was new, peopleknew who was moving, mainly due to its size most likely

My family had one of those^^ S-class of the same body style in the OP, but in terms of design, I like the W220 the best, too bad it's probably the worst S-class ever in terms of quality ...

What couldn't you help? Did you buy it?

Awesome car. I don't understand how it can have so low miles... it can't be good for a car to be driven that little.

Reminds me of the white early-mid 90's Acura Legend coupe that's for sale a couple years ago, I think that one had even lower mileage than this one ...
