  My Benz - 2002 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By Jazzpad - May 27 - 2:00 am

  Very pleased with this purchase. I bought it in Chicago and drove to LA, and it performed well on the open road. Smooth ride and good gas mileage for its size. Has plenty of horsepower when needed.

  Lexus is so much better/bad radio - 2002 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By NOT NOT HAPPY - March 15 - 10:00 am

  Get a Lexus LS430 Ultra lux; you get way more than a stripped S500 OR S430. The transmission on the S-class stinks, and not smooth at all. To much engine and wind noise. Also, the BOSE sound system is bad, compared to the Mark Levinson. The radio is filled with annoying and constant static noise, whether on FM, AM, or WB. THey have replaced everything to solve the problem: HOPELESS. And the COMMAND GPS system: HOPELESS TO USE.

  I WANT TO KILL MYSELF - 2002 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By 4-Matic - March 15 - 10:00 am

  Mercedes and people overrate this piece of junk. You seriously pay only for the star. THe day I bought the car, the cupholders would pop out, and the sign said "ACTIVE BODY CONTROL TOO LOW- SEE WORKSHOP!", okay. The next day, my front armrest wouldnt open (dealership wouldnt say anything), so I could not access my mercedes Motorola V60 phone. (they ended up damaging the leather, alas, they wouldnt fix it). I am now scared to turn on the car

  Straight talk on heavy repair costs - 2002 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By reality_chek - October 4 - 1:42 am

  The bargain price of today hides expensive repairs. It has design flaws: cup holders, knee hits seat warmer, ugly center console. It has known leak issues and electrical issues. It has air suspension issues. Auto door locks and trunk flaws. Dont forget the untreated metal that rusts from the inside. Watch for rust around tire wells all up and down sides. Rust quote was $2700. The gorgeous slick design holds water. The car is now 11 so expect collapsed engine mounts, catalytic converter rattles, drive shaft flex disk...So you can plan on buying it for $6-7K and putting 6-8K into it and you will get a beautiful smooth powerful ride that originally cost $80K+ and the engine will go to 200K mi.

  2002 Mercedes S430 - 2002 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By Janet Carle - January 14 - 2:00 am

  I really like the handling of this car. It has a small turning radius which makes it great easy to park. It has great pick up and passing capabilities. I love the voice recognition.

  Great vehicle....But - 2002 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By Tabasco - August 13 - 2:00 am

  Great vehile however here are my objections: NO Pass-through for skis. In this day and age there should be a pass through the rear center arm rest for skis or golf clubs etc. There should NOT be an up charge on the 500 series for rear seat heaters. When you pay more than $80,000 for a car the rear seat heaters should be included. Needs one DVD for navigation s¥ßtem not 7 cds

  Balanced perspective - 2002 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By mcantwell - February 7 - 8:27 pm

  I bought a used 2002 S430 in November of 2012. It was $11,000. I immediately had an issue with the air suspension which leaked and I had Peter, a local mechanic (SilverStar Motors) who specialized in Mercedes fix it. He is much more reasonable than the dealership but the repair was $1400. He warned me the car has a history of expensive issues. I replaced the tires with ContiPro fro $600. I did not have any additional issues until recently it was side-swiped on the street and the driver mirror was tore off. The parts alone are over $1000 and Im looking at 1300-$1,500 with labor and paint. To pile on my check engine light came on and the car has a bit of a shake and rough idle. We will see.
