Thanks Benzmac . I had to go with the 560 SEL , money was the limiting factor . I'm glad to finally know that the S-class in repairable though , maybe in the future .
Are wood iterior accents offfered many places for my car ( BHMA is one I know ). I know it is frowned on a little but the car will be mine for a while and I'd like the extra wood . Also , in the rear windshield in the lower right corner, there is what looks like a fogging or frosting.( small , maybe 1in square )Is this the lamanate comming apart or just somthing with the defroster . Thanks

The laminate is coming apart and the glass will need to be replaced. If you get this done, be sure the glass is done too.
