On 15-20+ year old cars it's all dependent on the condition of the one you are looking at. But when new probably the S-Class sedan would have had the most robust A/C system. It would certainly be the most expensive to repair as well. If it were me I would look for the car I liked and set aside enough money to have the A/C repaired when needed.
