I found a local 96' S420 at a independent Mercedes used dealer/service shop. I have heard horror stories with high $$$$ maintainence on the 92-94 S-Class sedans, but wondering if the 95 and newer models were any better. What major issues tend to crop up on the 1996 S-Class models? Do they also have the "prone to failure" A/C units that require the entire dash to be removed if it becomes broken? Below is the ad for the car. I have seen it in photos and it looks showroom new. NO DEFECTS. Is it worth the asking price? Thanks in advance!
