Pros

The 2000 Mercedes Benz S430 has a powerful 4.3L V8 engine, Tons of features. Great for short and long trips. very reliable car. Could be the smoothest ride ever made.

Cons

Very minor rust on bottom of doors.

Stunning Car, Inside And Out. — The Performance of this Mercedes Benz is only matched by the attention to detail that is put into every Mercedes Benz. You will not find another car made in 2000 with as many features and extras that this car has.

Awesome If You Can Afford To Own It — when you think of mercedes you think of style and luxury.....the S500 has both. it rode like a dream and it was sleek. the power behind the 5.0L V8 sent chills down my back. everything in the car is electronic so u barely have to move even to fold the mirrors

German Engineering

Cost

If You Have The Money, Buy One. — Well, what more can I say, its a Mercedes! The performance is amazing, very quick acceleration, and smooth braking. Cost of ownership, like I said its a Mercedes-Benz, and the part for repair are much more expensive than my honda. Engineering is beyond brilliant, and it looks like a mobster ride. Beautiful car, fun to drive, fun to own, but beware of financial issues if you plan on getting a Benz.

Mb — This car is my daily driver to work and weekend trips, etc. Can be quite expensive to maintain. I always say bring your knee pads and lube when having it serviced at the dealership. The self-leveling system can be a nightmare at times. Brake pads/rotors are expensive as well.

Amazing Mercedes — This monster, Peridot Metallic (I call it Mountain Dew yellow), S500 is beyond belief! Formerly owned by a retired NFL player, this tricked out Benz has it all from walnut inlaid chrome spinners to an entertainment system to put anything to shame! Simply AMAZING! The exhaust makes it sound more like a jet than a Mercedes and the bi-xenon lights are brighter than the moon. You will never have a cold or hot behind with the air conditioned/heated/massaging seats and you will never be missed while driving down the road due to the unique color that makes EVERY head spin! And to top it off, it was even autographed by the GB Packer player himself (in 2 spots) when we took delivery of it. This truly is a one of a kind machine.

Mercedes-benz S430 — The S430 is Mercedes-Benz' flagship vehicle. It's performance is truely amazing and the buid quality is second to none. The interior quality is simply prestigious and fully loaded with every option. The exterior appearance is absolutely gorgeous and it is so much fun to drive. Just like the plates say, "LIVEIT"

Lots of Torque, Lots of Class

Cons

Not a track car

45

Its Really Really Comfortable — Well it is a very classy car, and it has a lot of torque. It is definitely not a track car, so I wouldn't try to put it around turns too much. However, it packs a decent punch when flooring it. It can accelerate about the same as a stock 2005 Mustang GT. It's also really fun in a parking lot. The back seats are pretty much the most comfortable back seats you can find in a sedan. Heated AND Cooled Seats also make the car very comfortable, as well as the built in massager. Also, the makers of the car decided that a cigarette lighter and ashtray on each passenger door was necessary.

Pros

Extremely spacious, smooth handling, driving and suspension. Overall, this is an exceptionally great car. Ahead of its time considering the year of this model, yet the standards still hold up closely to more contemporary 4-DR Sedans.

Cons

High quality of the vehicle inevitably suggests high maintenance costs. Gas mileage could be better considering the recent trend in improvement to gas-mileage efficiency in vehicles, but it is not unreasonable.

Great Car Overall. — Love this car. It has certainly been reliable and definitely provided the feeling of luxury in the sense that one can drive this car and truly feel relaxed given the comfort that is provided by the car's performance and very appealing trim/design.

Very stylish timeless look.  Ample power and cloud like ride quality.

Maitenance cost are high.  Mercedes B service cost $700 every every other oil change.  Black hard to keep clean.

Sleek And Sexy!! — I love the isolation and almost non existent road noise when driving this car on any surface. Car has plenty of power for passing and accelerating from stop lights and intersections. Overall I have had great reliability from this car with only a few minor issues like the soft close assist not always working, and door control module replacement. Mechanical fixes have been lower ball joint replacement, brake caliper, rotor and brakes, and oddly my transmission went out with under 70K miles on the car. I lucked out because it was under an extended warranty and a brand new tranny replaced the old one. This car has always been a looker and still gets compliments in its ripe old age!!
