Reviewed a 1999 Mercedes-Benz S 420 on Jan 19, 2008

I've owned this car for over 5 years and I find it to be will designed and constructed. I will say however, that anything that goes wrong with car ends up being at least $800 to repair. Luckily the car hasn't given me many problems. I'm thinking of getting rid of it because I believe the transmission may be on its way out. The car has approximately 85K. The only real problem thus far is the air conditioning compressor, which of course cost $800 to repair. Other than that, I've tuned it and replaced to front brakes, and replaced the tires. But I have to admit, the car is awesome to drive, and it has a very quality feel to it, from the interior materials, to the sound of the doors when you close them. I've never been in an American car that came even close in the quality department.
