• Elegantly appointed and spacious cabin, feels nimble for its size, state-of-the-art safety features, strong resale value.

• Complicated COMAND system, not as athletic as some of its competitors, a few low-grade interior materials.

  Rolled The Dice - Bought High Mileage - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By john77084 - March 14 - 8:29 pm

  After turning 40 recently, I decided to properly kick-off my mid-life crisis. I was going to go with either a boat or a car. A 2004 S430 won. I found one with 114,000 miles on it on Autotrader. I suppose I got the "base" model 430, but it is absolutely remarkable. The suspension, coupled with the cars sheer size, makes for an airplane like ride (sport settings are also present). Ive taken it on 2 long road trips and been in very good spirits after arriving. Tips for Buying Used: *Comparison shop! These cars depreciate wildly. I paid too much. Find the KBB price and stick with it. *Have a genuine STAR diagnostics ran. *Beware the "stuck in park" potential

  Excellent - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By TeamWenz - February 1 - 11:03 pm

  There is a reason this is one of the best cars sold on the planet. Incredible luxury combined with decent economy. It just eats up the road. Just had it serviced at the dealership $220 in total. Not bad for 10,000 intervals.

  The Mercedes is a great car with great handling and will always be a favorite too many people. I love my Benz and it is at the top of its class.

  Mercedes S Class - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By brokerbj - October 14 - 2:00 am

  I never thought I would have an S Class but I do now and I love it. One of my friends has the large BMW and I thought that was the ultimate car until I got my 500. I LOVE IT and will keep it forever!!!!!!!!!

  Best Riding Car I have ever owned - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By brian h. - July 4 - 10:00 am

  Just recently purchased this vehicle and it has an incredible feel on the road with above average acceleration.I have previously owned an E-Class and this far exceeds it.There is little to dislike about the performance. The mileage is better than expected.

  Wow! - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By Clotdoc - May 28 - 10:00 am

  What a car! Powerful, very responsive engine and great maneuverability. This is a very sporty four door sedan, for the family man who drives alone from time to time, who likes to take it to the limit!

  San Jose S600 - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By San Jose Man - May 23 - 10:00 am

  Fun to drive factor is a 10+. Unbelievable torque. Handling and braking are excellent for a sedan this big and heavy. Styling is understated. Comfort and inside room are excellent. Keyless go feature is excellent, however it has failed 4 times in the first year. Highway mileage is 18-19 mpg, city about 12mpg. Built in phone is OK with vocal commands useful. Get parktronic - its needed. Automatic trunk opener/closer is a favorite - used frequently. Auto Tire pressure reading is useful, but a pain to deal with. Ive driven MBZ E Series, Audi A8, Jaguar VandenPlas, Jaguar XJR, MBZ CL500. This car is by far the best sedan! Bought easily over an S55. Great car!

  Just bought this in Silver (S430 4Matic) - 2004 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By johnmassaria - October 30 - 3:01 am

  I will be taking her home on Monday. The car has 29,000 miles on it and all I can say after all the crap my family has gone through for 7 years, this car is a blessing. My we enjoy it in good health and may the car always come though for us. So far it is crazy awesome. Previous cars I have owned new were: 1994 300ZX 2 seater with T-Tops, 2001 Audi A6Q 3.2 , 2006 Audi A6Q 3.2, 2009 BMW 328XI. This will be the first time I have bought a used vehicle in 18 years. So far so good, will follow up with real review as I drive it more.... :)
