1990 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 560 sec review from North America
"A safe, reliable inexpensive car to own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?

General comments?
This is the most enjoyable car to drive. Best that I have ever owned. The owner maintenance is easy and well documented. Support from web sites solves most problems without dealer charges. Owner maintenance is critical to keep repair costs down but there are few failures if the car is correctly maintained.
The car has great visibility from all sides.
Safety on wheels epitomized with an affordable price tag.
