That's sad, thanks Ricey. I have a S500 LWB which I have had since 2006, with very low mileage
and I'm the second owner which I would like to sell, cost new £85k but now worth about £4k.
Its amazing how much nice big Merc drop in price,
They were a period of strange merc build quality. Some will be absolutely bullet proof and the next identical spec one will fall to bits.
Some rocket ship engines though. The S was supposed to be superb.
I had an E500.......total bag of spanners. Had the glycol problem and shat it's gearbox 30 miles after taking delivery.
