2005 S430-Good Deal or Not?

Hi guys,
Well was just pondering over craigslist and saw this...
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sgv...610385370.html

Is this a good deal? Also, I'm planning on keeping it at least 5+years, would one expect a lot of problems from W220's even from 05?

Thanks

It is pricey for a 5 year old S430... and I agree, I think you'll regret not going for the S500

Im thrilled with my s430, but havent compared the 2 back to back... why is the 500 so much better? Power difference seems minimal

I have owned my S-430 since 2003. My best mileage, Cincinnati to Cleveland and back, was over 34 mpg. It pays for itself, plus, you get the ride and handling of the S-Class.
