I own an S class W140 300SE 1993, 3.2 M104 ,5 speed 722.5 , with 126.000 miles (205.000 km) and I´m planning to change it for a W220 S430. I´ve had many problems with the W140 but fixed them all. I use the car with great care . The problems have been with some electronic modules. The mechanics of the car are very good: engine, transmission, differential, suspension, steering , brakes, etc. The accesories work perfect, including soft close doors and trunk, A/C, electric seats with orthopedic system, sun roof , etc etc, everything. The car is in absolute original condition. I have studied much about the W 220 and i think it is a very good car. All S class cars are very luxurious and must be treated like what they are: with care and not like an old pair of shoes , with abuse. They say the best engines are M112 and M113, and not M272 - M273. The best transmission , the 722.6 (5G Tronic) and not the 722.7 (7G Tronic) The ABC system is not good. It is an hydro-pneumatic system very complicated and expensive, that can fail. It is an addition to the Air Matic system. The Air Matic system works very well. The ABC is for great speed cornerings and ultimate stability. In other words for speeding and abusing the car. For the first owner excellent, but afterwards, great problems. The rest of the car is very good, using it as it should be done and giving the car the corresponding maintenance . Here in Chile, I´ve never seen a W220 with rust. Very good video, thank you.

Transmission mount ($25) 3. 1 Airsping ($400) It's been a great car, and I have logged about 40,000 miles since I got it. Engine is pretty reliable, just replaced the serpentine belt and a idler pulley. Highly recommend a 2003-2005 if you are up for the matainence.

i have had Mercedes all my life. 500s 420 sel 500 sl 430 sl. i drove a 2001 lexsus ls 430 from a friend and could not believe how well put togeather it was, way ahead of mercedes in luxury and above all it was much more sound proofed. its is even better than the lexsus 460 ls. so i found one in Madrid in perfect condition and drove 6 hours back to Malaga. wonderful. i have always had respect for Mercedes, but Lexus have made a classic with the ls 430, pure luxury at its best. i think the problem with me was that i never believed the Germans would be outdone, but i can can honestly say they have been this time by a future classic.

I was owner for 2 years of a clean S 320 CDI with only 65.000km from 2002. Was good to drive and range like 1350km with full diesel tank was perfect to drive from Monaco to Köln City by Italy and Switzerland. No issues with Airmatic suspensions system, work very great No issues with electronics parts Soft-Close stop to work by surprise one year after i had the car, never find why lol Main issue was the inter-cooler ; passenger side plastic part was dead all the time. Before to sell the car with 121.000km, i already installed the fourth inter-cooler.

Great review. I have the rare ABC suspension that was about 60% rebuilt by the prev. owner at dealership under extended warranty. My car thus has many ABC components from the W221 which are more durable. I have also spent thousands of USD myself on the system. Worth every penny for that million dollar ride!

A great ride extreme comfort with the air suspensions, quiet, great handling on turns, very reliable engine, noise reduced with double glass, luxury and quality interior, enough amount of technology. However the airmatic suspensions are so smooth but so sensitive too, in a country with Bad roads you better replace them with normal ones. Crank shaft disks also might cause noise on acceleration when it's loose. If you change all rubber parts when you buy a used one, you won't have any issues with all MB cars and models such as, Ball joints Control arms Engine / transmission mounts Crank shaft front and rear desks New tires also Then you will have a perfect ride, make sure to change the oil on time mobil one is highly recommended, but do change it at least 2000km before is time to maintain a great performance. An amazing car for real. But don't play much with it as you might cause damages while looking around for upgrades or treating it as brand new car. Important note DO NOT MAKE a holes in the body for the rear plate number as this will cause a huge electrical issue where the cluster instrument will go dead and the trunk will lock, and won't open unless you disconnect the cluster instrument ( 2 min work to do that)

Mercedes did not decide to save money on the w220. They just started to use recycled materials and non-rare wood for the interior. They also started with water based colour for the body. It is the new painjob that caused the first models to rust, just like the W202 and w210 from that era. Facelift version of the W202, W210, W220 and also the CLK, SLK... have much improved rust resistence. W140 (just like any Mercedes-Benz from 1991-1997) had biodegradable wiring harness, that caused severe damage to the engine control management and throttle bodies (check how much a ECU and throttle body costs for a W140), with intermittent issues of all sorts and the engine could just stop randomly, for instance when going off the highway, downhill.... When the engine stops, you get no power steering, no power brakes, good luck.

Wiring harness issues in the engine bay have been fixed in 1996+ models for the W140. I wouldn't buy a W140 unless its a 1997 or higher. 1997 came with the bulletproof 5 speed also. 1997+ are VERY reliable S-Classes. 1995 and below are headaches.

your both wrong, degrading harness does not cause issue to said parts, just change the harness and your good to go. and as for the "bulletproof" 5 speed i have seen so many 1996+ models with broken transmission valve body meanwhile the early gen w140 4 speed transmission rarely has issues, just the delay going into reverse which is a common issue. in my books the early w140 is a much better car.

Not sure why people keep saying the w140 is much better than the w220. I had both, a 1998 s500 and a 2006 s430 4matic. I can tell you the w220 is a much better car...better handling, improved fuel economy, interior is much quieter at any speed, seats are way better in terms of comfort than those in the w140. The w140 looks dated now too, and not in a good way like a w126...its just a big bloated hunk of metal. The 220 is not perfect by any means, its weak point is the airmatic suspension which has given me several problems, along with a few minor electrical problems. Just get a low mileage late model w220 and you'll be very pleased with it.

I hav a jag so I’m not scared to take on one of these but if I do a 04-06 ..I want it to be a one owner and hav no miles on it....so hard to come by ..if one pops up , someone let me know. Needs to be 4wd and only considering red, white, or silver.

Antwan Jones the mileage is a factor but like you seen here there is pleanty of miles left on them. The factors that really matter is how well its been maintained. Look around for signs of abuse, leaking fluid residue, rust, if it makes weird noises when idle or driven. Check how thick the brake pads are, check fluid levels. See if the have maintenance records etc for starters.

evyatarelful I have a 2002 USA-specW220, and I know when the facelift came over here in 2003 they changed the fiber optic wiring and gave it a whole new COMAND. I think our older system might require running wires for a stereo upgrade. I never really researched it though because I like the way my Bose sounds and have the MB Bluetooth "puck" for my iPhone and that's good enough for my needs

evyatarelful unless you're OK with the original system and a Bluetooth puck (for hands free calling) which you can find on eBay, you are going to have to pay major dollars for a complete rewire. IMHO it will not look as good either, but then again I am an OEM purist.

If only Lexus had the Mercedes styling it would have been an outright winner for the period 1999 to 2004. Lexus LS430 - Bit "old man ish" If Lexus had matched those lines, having a far more reliable electrical reputation, Mercedes would have been gone! I note that the high Miler has a tubular ring breakdown in the Cluster. Something you don't mention. Cluster failure is quite common? Liked the W140 but mine rusted in peace, sadly.

what do you think about a 2002 S55 AMG, without Kompressor?
@differentcarreview-dcr
@differentcarreview-dcr 6 жыл бұрын
the engine in it is reliable-no big issues unless the previous owner abused it, but this doesn't mean that it has low maintenance costs -oil/coolant leaks can occur and fixing them can be expensive mainly if you don't have an independent specialist near you -this car had the ABC suspension as standard if I'm not mistaken, so you have to change the oil in it, and if it breaks or if it start to leak, then be prepared to pay a lot of money to fix it -if it's a 2002 model then it should be the facelifted model which is good-more reliable electronics all in all you definitely need to have extra money for the additional repairs/maintenance

Why dont you recommend the 4.0 v8 diesel?
@differentcarreview-dcr
@differentcarreview-dcr 7 жыл бұрын
Because the maintance of this engine is usually expensive - 2x turbochargers, 8 injectors, various sensors etc. Then there are more often problems with the worn timing chain and also the automatic gearbox is usually more often worn, than in the other engines.

Of course, if you find this model which is in really great condition, and you change the oil in the engine after 10 000, max 15 000 km and the oil in the gearbox after 60 000 km, then it should be all right, also use only high quality fuel and let the cold engine warm up-low RPM for the first 15-20 km and after a dynamic driving let the turbos cool down-1 min on idle before shutting down the engine. These are the basics.

I have this car. The issue with it is that it can stop anywhere (having its complicated buttons) without starting. It’s quite unpredictable in this case. We called several engineers but none have been able to solve the problem. What could it be?

Well the Lexus is generally more reliable, but the W220 from 2005 is also a good choice, it really depends on the actual condition of the car and your personal preference.
