aftermarket bumper fitment will be the least of your worries if you buy this car.

i have read about your discussions on this s600 model, year 2001 and 2002, but can i be lucky that this one is a good model? or all of them are bad? should i consider an 2003 instead?

i test drove a 2002 s600 before i had bought this pristine s430...

during the test drive while owner was in passenger, i barely floored it maybe 40% throttle and something had popped/clanked under the hood so i stopped the car and owner had his buddy towed it.

with the amount of cash i had to spend, $9800 i wanted a w220... just glad i didnt get the s600.

anis - just keep saving and keep searching for that perfect W220.

some of us like the insane torque of a diesel, esp modded with increased boost, you can have more torque than s600

How much torque does the s400 have? And here I thought my S600 had the most torque at 590 ft lb.
