2001/2002 S430 differences?
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find anything after doing some searches. I'm buying a 2001 S430 for my folks and I just wanted to know the differences between the 2 years. Thanks.

I agree, stay away from MY2000 S-Classes. We had a 2000 S500 and the car was just non-stop problems. It was like waking up and trying to think about what the new problem of the day would be. To make a long story short, the dealer took the car back after 10 months and we got a 2001 S500... no major problems at all, just one minor problem with the right front window, and that was fixed.
Definetly stay away from first year models if you can.
I can just imagine how many problems there will be on the new W209 CLK at first.
