I love my 96 S320. It is quite different to drive from my 84's. It has real power steering and pick up. Like any Mercedes you will have to put time and money into it. I always have a list of things to do. My S320 needs the passenger mirror repaired and the air pump for the front seats fixed. The only big repair so far has been a failed cable from the key switch to the transmission this did leave me stuck on the side of the road. This was the only time in 21 years that a Mercedes let me down.
