I've done a little googling on the W220s and especially with the AMG models, people say go 2003+. Could I get some input on what exactly changed in MY2003? I know the ABC/Airmatic suspension is always something to watch out for...anything else I should know to look for? For the mileage, how is the price, and what should I try to negotiate down to?

I really want to go for a test drive, but I'm afraid if I do there'll be no turning back so I want to make sure I know what I may be getting into before making any rash decisions.

Thanks!
