Good Afternoon:

Hoping some Benz enthusiasts can help me decide which series/year to purchase. This will be a second car and want a 4DR sedan.

Here are my perameters:

Absolutely love the S Class, but understand the E Class is equally good.
Anything 2002 or later
Want to stay under $14K if possible.

Currently eyeing an '02 430S with low miles (gas). Great ride. Any pitfalls? Servicing nightmares? What about neumatic systems in these?

Thanks!
