2000 Mercedes-Benz S 400 CDI W220 (Automatic / 5 Gears) RWD [1998-2002]

Summary

The 2000 Mercedes-Benz S 400 CDI is considered one of the most stylish and technologically advanced limousines of its time, offering an extremely smooth ride thanks to the Airmatic suspension and highly reliable diesel engine. However, this generation suffers from documented quality problems, where early rust on body panels and frequent electronic defects remain the most critical points. Systems like the Airmatic require constant attention and expensive repairs, while the interior materials feel less solid than its legendary predecessor, making this model a fantastic car to travel in, but a real challenge for long-term maintenance.
