2000 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S500 5.0 V8
Summary:
Effortlessly gracious performance
Faults:
Airmatic suspension struts (ZAR21,000 each + labour).
Airmatic pump (ZAR7,000 + labour).
Crankshaft position sensor.
Mass airflow meter (ZAR1,800 + labour).
Throttle body (ZAR21,000 + labour).
Wiper blades cost ZAR800 each.
General Comments:
The ride is truly a magic carpet ride, due to the Airmatic suspension, however it handles like a magic carpet too. Not good around bends.
The sound system is excellent, but MP3/Bluetooth is seriously missed and the base performance is below par.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
