I know I have not posted on here for a long time, but I thought that I would share my new daily wheels... it’s a 2003, 53 (Facelift) S500 L (long wheel base) just ticked over to 180,364 miles (I got it at 179,220 miles) What a car, it is NOT greedy on fuel despite everyone telling me before I got it that it would be, it’s not. 5.0 V8, 306bhp 7 speed Auto. its seriously lovely, riding on the airmatic suspension. barely above idle speed at 80mph & for it’s size, it’s seriously quick when it is needed. Also, the silence inside is amazing, you can barely hear any noise, it’s so silent & insulated from the outside world. Yes, I know that most people will tell me about the horrors of the W220 Mercedes-Benz S Class, but this is a good one, no rust or rot (early examples up until 2002 were notoriously bad for rot everywhere) the 2003 facelift model onwards were not as bad. & my one is not blighted with any rot. Here it is, after being fully valeted today.

I haven't bought it, I traded it for some stuff and I'm not entirely sure I want it, but I'm definitely curious... It's green. It was made in Britain in 2004. It's got 12 months MoT. It does about 25mpg as far as I can tell. It has four doors. It has leather seats. It's got a CD player.
