"Overall, owners of the 2000 Mercedes-Benz S-Class express a strong appreciation for its luxury features and performance, noting the comfort and style it provides. Many love the impressive interior amenities, like heated and cooled seats, as well as the smooth driving experience.

Performance - 5 Liter V8, shall i say more? Build Quality - amazing. nothing breaks Appearance - kind of an older person car Cost of Ownership - ehh, its worth it Fun Factor - amazing.... its all around great car. but i wish it was a BMW this benz is for more of an older people, but what can i do. haha i am not complaining with a 100,000 dollar car
August 10, 2009The Performance of this Mercedes Benz is only matched by the attention to detail that is put into every Mercedes Benz. You will not find another car made in 2000 with as many features and extras that this car has.
August 16, 2011A little soft on the ride but this is a preference. Need to keep tire pressure and routine maintaince up as it can be expensive. Spares for Designo interiors could become hard to find. Model is rare so will possibly start to appreciate very soon

January 9, 2015It’s got a lot of luxury features for being a year 2000 model, and the look feels classic yet still somehow fresh
April 5, 2023This car at 14 years and 78,000 mile is as smooth and powerful as the day it drove off the lot. If there is a problem with it on the highway - it's too smooth. If you are not careful you will be over the speed limit swarming you're not over 30mph!
August 7, 2014Got it with 108k miles. Read reviews of 250k, 300k and even 480k miles. all said the 2000 S500 still going strong. It had a fair amount of rust along the bottom edges. Had to get it repaired and painted. Also had a battery drain problem. Turned out to be the driver door control module. $600 dealer repair. Needed valve cover gaskets, idler pulley, transmission mount/fluid change, cabin air and charcoal filters. Another $1,000. Nicely tinted by dealer. Replaced side mirror covers with the 2007 V-cut signal version. $130. Power everything. Interior in very nice shape.Booming stereo. Now it looks like a 2 year old car. This car originally sold for $80,000.
February 16, 2014Great car. Performance is OK for a big car. Pretty good handling. New one coming soon. Before the end of the year.
January 17, 2008Love this car. It has certainly been reliable and definitely provided the feeling of luxury in the sense that one can drive this car and truly feel relaxed given the comfort that is provided by the car's performance and very appealing trim/design.
May 10, 2013This car is my daily driver to work and weekend trips, etc. Can be quite expensive to maintain. I always say bring your knee pads and lube when having it serviced at the dealership. The self-leveling system can be a nightmare at times. Brake pads/rotors are expensive as well.
October 1, 2009I ordered this car in mid 1999. Picked it up September 7 2000. Have driven it full time for 146,000 miles. It has been and is a beautiful, incredible automobile in so many ways. The engine and drive train are like the day I bought it. Many of the gadgets are clumsy and have stopped working. The car is riddled with rust and has been for four years. I had it painted three year ago and as the paint shop owner warned me it has all returned only much worse now. If I keep the car all door skins must be replaced, two fenders, area around door frames, front windshield, all wheel wells must be cut out and painted of course.
