Hi All,
I'm considering a W221 S500 (or S63 if price is right).
What is the general consensus on these please?
Thinking of looking at an 08 plate S500 tomorrow.
I seem to remember the early W221s had reliability issue so would assume an 08 plate comes in to that category?

Are there specific things to check for on this particular age of S Class? i.e. find out what Airmatic parts have been changed in the past?

Are there concerns over the gearbox on these models? I believe these would be the early 7G boxes? Are these ok?

Grateful of any opinions/advice on what to look out for please.

Regards,
shr.
