peter210,
I'm not a pro (???) but I can tell you from my past experience of owning a 92 S for seven years that a worse car, Mercedes never built. It was put to market before proven and ready and has been nothing but continous trouble and expense beyond belief. There even was a class action suit against it, which won. In short, stay away from 92-93 S
class sedans and roadsters. Haven't heard enough of the new 2000 model and its problems yet.
Good luck...
