New purchase

Hi guys,

I just purchased a 2005 S500, with 35000 miles on it. I am new to the S500, even though I have had Mercedes (450, 300TD, 2-GL450's) in the past. I am interested in your view points on the car, and problems or nuances that you may have experienced. Thanks in advanced for any pearls of wisdom you can share.

David

Ooh, a W220 that qualifies for a reasonably priced NAC warranty, drool.

Congrats on the purchase!

GL'S

Loved my GL's. Bought one new, and one used. I will probably get another one in a year or two, after my kids are a little older. I never had one problem with either vehicle. I think it is the finest SUV on the market.
