1989 Mercedes-Benz S-Class 420 review from North America
"This car is way ahead of its time!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced belts, motor mounts, and checked the timing chain when I bought it. Other than that a bulb or two!
General comments?
Great car that will last a life time if taken care of properly. This car had one owner who had started to let it deteriorate on the exterior and some minor mechanical problems. This can be an expensive car if not taken care of properly, but I will keep this car for the superior ride and comfort. Handles like a majority of your so called top cars today.
