Gilly & blackmercedes for what its worth its a 93 S420. I do know a little of the background. It was a crash that was fully repaired and aproved by a Mercedes Benz Dealer here in N.Y.(I saw the car being rebuilt with my own eyes) The previous owner bought it crashed with 25000 on the meter. It looks physically intact a real cream puff, But gosh i don`t know I had a 87 300E that was so problem free i figure i can`t go wrong with another Benz. I would have bought another E class but i grew out of it they are a little small compared to the S. I can`t go back to a small car. As for a warranty i don`t know if i can get one, How old does the car have to be for Mercedes to warranty it ?
