2007 S430 vs 2002 S430
I am looking at a 2007 S430 and thinking about selling my 2002 S 430. How much better is the 07 compared to the 02? I know the 07 had an updated Nav system and HID headlights but is there any improvement in the Airmatic system? Any improvement in reliability?
Thanks |
Do you mean 2006? 2007 was a new car entirely, and the S430 disappeared from the lineup.

He said 2007, I assumed it was a 430, must be a S550.

The 2007 is the newer design w221 car and does not come as s430
Only s550 in the USA in 2007 2006 was the final year of the s430 , they are good cars The early 2007 s550 had an engine problem that was subject of a class action https://eclaim.kccllc.net/caclaimforms/mse/faqs.aspx#q5 and later models were improved , only some 2007 models were affected but verify any purchase before buying to see if that car is affected |
Dear sir,
I dont know u, but from what i read u seem to buy pre-facelifted version. If u upgrade try to get the w221 facelifted. Tons of upgrades. Otherwise stick to ur mighty w220. I think it ages better, especially the facelifted ones ! If u want reliablity in an S classe, convert to coil suspension. Thats the most close to reliable. |
No point in converting preemptively, of course. :)

And thats the milion dollar question in my view. A good working airmatic system is superb, iv driven mine for 8 months before the compressor faded out followed by 2 struts and valveblock... If u travel a lot, its just a matter of time and it will fail. And the sad thing is, we dont decide WERE it failes ! A nice momentum is on friday night, standing before ur house after a hard week of work... But it can also fail if u just departed on a 2400 km trip wich i undertake every year from the Netherlands, driving to Morocco on Holiday. Greetsz |
