I'm considering the purchase of a S430.

Are there known issues with this model? I've had the W140 (1993 500SEL), and it has had some issues.

However, I love the S-Class.

I'm looking at one that is "Certified PreOwned".

Is this a "high maintenance" car?

Thanks for your perspectives and comments.
