Very VERY good guide. Can confirm, keep the voltage at requested levels, it will deflect 90 percent of the problems with electronics. S klasses are made to EAT kilometers, not to sit in the parking lot for more than 2 weeks. While buying this, i seriously recommend to take a mechanic with PROPER mercedes benz diagnostics, where you can check all the functions. Without this tool, you wont be able to tell if the airmatic is working properly, there are pre-scripted test in the software to check if everything is OK. DONT look at the mileage, look at the overall shape. they are meant to be driven long distances, so dont get scared. Cloged dpf and egr are a result of short distance travels, it will also tell you a lot about the shape of the transmission. This will also shown in the diagnostics. You can also check WHEN the oil was changed and HOW MUCH has been changed, it all shows in diagnostics. Problem in my country ( slovakia) is that there are two types of mechanics: the first smaller group will honestly tell you, they have little experience with mercedeses ( or they dont have proper equipment/diag ), the second, larger group will tell you they have no problem fixing it while having NO experience or tools. They will f*ck your benz. Dont fear genuine services. Gear, diff fluids i would recommend to do by them, oil and filter change can be done by everyone. Geometry and brakes also done by genuine merc service. Especially geometry must be done in certail level of the airmatic pillows.

My 13 year old paint still looks better than 3yo Hyundai, interior quality is just second to none. Buy one pay the maintenance and enjoy.

My father really wanted the W221. After looking at countless models the realisation was to go with M276. The diesels are just too far gone and the 272 273s are just on so high milage at this point that you cant cruse reliably. We found one with shit tonn of equipment from 2012 and bought it for 20k EUR It had 240 000km and the guy only drove it on the highways, instead has a smart for city tours. Seams like my dad is fine with it. The dark grey color looks quite nice with all the led lights and amg trim. No turbos is in my opinion better. Also preatty good gas milage. Recommend you to buy rich people cars feom rich people since you know he sidnt skip on maintenance, all done at the idependant well known shop for mercedes in the city. Guy was selling it bc he just got the new S class. The drive comfort is incomparable to the C class, i drive the W205 C220d and oh boi even tho my is newer from 2016 S is just an S

When I drive in London with my 2013 CL500 at some point in traffic all the safety systems fail all together. After some driving and restarting the car, all the messages are gone, back to normal. One of the possible causes according to the manual is: -the radar sensor system is temporarily inoperative, e.g. due to electromagnetic radiation emitted by nearby TV or radio stations or other sources of electromagnetic radiation. Do you think this is due to the new 5G poles we have in London? It fails only in one specific area in London. Never when driving up the motorway away from the big city.....

I have always lived the S class, which Mercedes salon would you say is most reliable and best to buy with least mechanical problems. Thanks

S class, CLA and GLE have the least mechanical problems. Except the prices to maintain S Gle are staggering. If you live in Europe maybe. If you live in USA / Canada the price of parts is 5 times higher than lexus’

@@selhurt Consider getting a BMW at least for a few years. The 2015-18 BMW models beat the Mercedes ones in reliability except perhaps in the S class / 7 series. And body that does not rust. I would say get a BMW/lexus for the next few years even if Merc is your fav brand. If reliability is important to you

Nice one and much appreciated, I would consider the 5 series then, are you saying the S class and 7 series are very reliable?

@@selhurt Hi, I believe the S class is more reliable than the 7 series. But repair prices are prohibitive. If you get it on a company it is a different story. Merc is my absolute favourite brand and I expected more from them. But where I am in Canada repair costs for German cars are insane considering they break down so much. I don’t think this is justified. I switched to Japanese for now. Got 300hp and a 3.5L aspirated. But my fav brand remains Merc. I look fwd to go back when quality comes back. Reliability of W212 for the time being is pathetic and that’s a shame.

I’m here in the uk and it’s really expensive when you go the dealers. I have a 98 C class that is going strong but will look to upgrade to a E class or 5 series Thanks
