2001 S500 or 2001 S430 ?

[86560SEL]

I had been in the market for a 92-99 S-Class, but then I hear alot of people trying to talk me out of one, especially a 92-95 S-Class. So.... I started looking for a 2000-02 S-Class and will probably hear even worse. lol.
I dont know, it seems though that the 00-02 S-Class is easier to find around here than a 92-99 S-Class and about the same price even... maybe its because they are super complex and super $ to service?

Anyway, I found two local S-Class sedans that are two of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen. Both are 2001 models and both are black. One is an S500, black interior with 159K and the other is an S430 with 118K miles, tan interior. I can get either of these for around $8000. Both have up to date service with no issues (at least none disclosed), except for one on the S430 and that is that he says the SRS light remains on, but the car has not been crashed.

There is a local dealer with a 1997 S500 for $5000 thats pretty nice, but it has 179K miles.

Wondering if I WERE to get one of these, which one may be the better car. Does the 01 S500 have a more complex suspension than the 01 S430? That alone may be more reason to pass on the S500 and get the S430, I imagine the only other difference would be the engine size.

OR I can get a like brand new, 1-owner, 61K actual mile 1993 Buick Park Avenue Ultra supercharged sedan for $2500 from my cousins uncle's car lot. I had a 92 Park Avenue back in 2003-04 and loved it and it had 200K. lol.

Thanks in advance.
