Newbee question.

I am in the market for a used s430 (w220 type). I noticed that there are a lot of 2000 model for sell but not a lot of 2001 or newer available on the used car lot. I am ready to pick one but I remember back then a lot of talks about the failures on 2000 model. Can someone shed a light for me as off what is the pro and con between 2000 and 2001 models?
Thank you very much in advance.
BTW, if any of you want sell your car please let me know. I live in the Los Angeles area. Preferably silver or white color.

The differences between the 2000 and 2001 model year on the W220 S-Class is like comparing night and day. There were countless problems for the 2000 model year, most of these problems were fixed for 2001.

If you can, get a 2001.
