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

S-class, no I mean F-Class - 2002 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By Benzocrazy - February 10 - 10:00 amThis car is the most expensive and lousy car in my life. I am (was) a loyal Lexus owner, and I decided to break away from the Ls430 and switch to the prestigious S-class. The biggest mistake in my life. The day I bought the $80,000 car, the power seats did not work, GPS freezes . (not to mention the worst GPS system in history. ) the power trunk closer and doors did not work, sunshade not going down, the brake pad and ABC had an light on the display the pick up speed is slow, The only good thing on this car is the style/ride. After the experiences with this car, I will never get another benz

First and last MBZ - 2002 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
By DisappointedInMBZ - May 10 - 10:00 amThis car has been a huge disappointment. The car has had problems since day one. It continues to have problems on a regular basis. Command Center failures for the first 18 months, radio, phone, airmatic pump,faulty warning indicators, steering three times, battery discharge (4 visits to fix correctly), both front windows quit working,numerous trim and molding problems, numerous electrical problems. This is not what I expected from MBZ. This is clearly the most expensive car and the worst performing car I have ever owned. Dealer also struggles to get repairs right the first time. Seems too sophisticated for their mechanics.
