What do you think of 2007 S500's for sale? Any reliability issues? The multi-contour seats attract me to the car a lot and that grunt of the V8...

 

Please voice your honest opinion's.

Thank You!

Sit a private taxi at Taiwan... S500 about 5~6 years old.. mileage close to half a million [sweatdrop]

Still pretty smooth and comfortable, driver say although car is exp but very worth the value for realiability.

Is there a V12 version?

One of my neighbours has an S-class with the V12 logos. Wonder if that's real. He happens to own a Ferrari too.

 

Yes, the S600 is V12.

Was at a frd's wrkshop in Pioneer rd area when i saw this 2yrs old CL 500 merc parked there....

Heard frm the wrkshop boss that this merc owner actually sued the PI when he had problem with the gearbox just after few mths of driving, n when he approached the PI, they ignored him. In the end, he sent the car back to C&C for a complete gearbox replacement for $40+K... When all is done, he filed a lawsuit against the PI for the repair costs n he won the case....

james, i say just send it to a reputed workshop for a check and you're good to go. you already drive an S-class so you should be very familiar with all the onboard systems
