This was my comment: I GAVE AWAY MY 2012 S-500 85k miles and a hundred million electrical gremlins - sick to death of it it sat for 3 years before I gave it to a neighbour's kid DO NOT BUY ONE It would literally forget what it was and need reprogramming at Merc. The seats would stop working, the wing mirrors would stay turned in. It would randomly flatten the battery. W140 1994 to 1999 that what you want.

@simonhjc Merc could not "fix" this. They could reset computers and make things work - but 3 weeks later it would be a DIFFERENT thing that was now working - it was never a motor or a switch, it was the electronics between the switch and the motor. They have I think 13 different computers on them and the faults were never just the one computer, lights are on a different system to seats.

@simonhjc Funny you should say that - I lived next door to the airfield at Brighton when they were restoring a Meshasmit ME109, the engineers said the engineering was amazing but SO complicated they dont know how they finished more than 10 of the in the time they had. Ive had the older S Class mercs the 1990 version the 1994 and the 1996 they were all very good. The 2002 was a bit crap and the 2012 was utter junk.
