The best reputation in the world won't prevent the air suspension from collapsing in the next 12 months or the electrical system from causing major issues.

I'm not understanding how the reputation of a dealer would mitigate serious quality and durability problems with the early W220?

If you buy it........just plan to spend $2-$3K on maintenance and repairs per year.........otherwise.........avoid it.
