  resale value went byby - 1999 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By white_de - January 14 - 2:00 am

  extremely solid sedan butno dancer in the tulips like earlier MB. Must ignore Dealer on 30-32psi in tires, they have a max of 44 and 40-42 makes it handle much much better. idiots. hate the painted bumpers. exceptional power except when loaded heavy. No real reason to have the eight cylinder unless carrying a band of gypsies on every trip. Very poor ergos for any activities other than transport...do not expect cup holder to function- designed by committee of German engineers with tooooo much time on their hands. KISS! More solid than Lexus430 but not as refined. More elegant than 740 but nowhere as fun to drive

  The car rides fine, but when things break, which is quite often, it is expensive on the parts, esp. the electronic parts, we are talking about from 350 to 1200.00 a piece without the labor charge wholesale.. watch out !! ohh!! the parts is more expensive than GOLD ?

  We call it "Papa Bear Car" - 1999 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
  By Geronimo - November 9 - 10:00 am

  Our second 140-body Benz, total 15 years. Drove a 93 two extra years while I looked for a clean lo-mile 99, the 140s last year. Father- in-laws a big guy who played basketball for Pitt, so we need big front AND back seats. Mausoleum-quiet, heavy, comfortable. Four people can have a civilized conversation @ 70 mph. Dont buy one if youre not up to the parts chase, and the search for cooperative repair shops. But at $10K for a good lo- mileage example, this is a LOT of road car for the money. Used S cars have great initial- build-quality per dollar. Dont buy one unless you really want a big old German car with a decidedly Teutonic personality.
