My daily driver is a 2000 S430. Everything still works as it should and the car still feels like new. Just hit 108,000 miles this morning. :) These really are the best cars in the world, if properly maintained.

The vast majority of videos I actually watch are ones I search for. Btw.. you sucked when you played for the falcons!!!!
This is one of the most beautiful S Class design! I remember seeing one of these parked at where I used to work by. She's beautiful, striking, all polish and shine. I didn't care much about cars back then nor what type of car this was, but I knew it was definitely a nice looking car. Apparently it was owned by a doctor...I will never forget this car true eye candy every time I would dump the trash and never forget to take a look at her. Someday I will own one...
@@DanDaDragonSlayer99 The original 220 was, to many, a beautiful Bruno Sacco design. Like always, MB eventually carries down the design language to the smaller models.
I got a 2006 Mercedes S500 for my 20th birthday back in 2012 and it is still a very nice car to drive! It had 75,000 miles on it when I first got it and it now has 195,613 miles on it as of today and still going strong! I drive it every single day and use it for road trips as well! Just as long as you're doing routine oil changes and checkups on your mercedes s class, you'll be good. Before I got got car, I was driving a 2003 Chrysler PT cruiser touring edition and it was a piece of shit! It over heated on me all the time and broke down sometimes and it was always in the shop and it was costing me lots of money to fix!! I just love my Mercedes W220! It's sooo nice and fast, luxurious, and has distronic cruise control, pre-safe, parking sensors, a navigation system, contour seats, bose audio, Airmatic suspension (I'm surprised the airmatic suspension hasn't gone out yet), and so much more! This car has more technology than my Sister's 2018 Nissan Altima!
crazy4gta1 It'd probably held up... $15,000 in retrimming, interior refurbishing, expensive oil changes, and battery and transmission replacement later
hey i have the same car. I'm looking to upgrade my headlights do you know if you're car has factory xenon hid's? or how do you tell if it does? it says does not fit model with factory xenon hid's. heres the link vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=283180323273&category=33710&pm=1&ds=0&t=1538285548276&cspheader=1
@@thunderedt All the mechanicals (including transmission) were very reliable. Yes, the interiors were sensitive with world firsts (about 300 patents for the W220) but they weren't meant to be abused. I've kept my 2000 looking new with care and conditioning every year.
Love it! It's 2015 and I'm 15 years behind but, some late model cars don't have these luxuries, so I don't feel bad at all. I think I'll shop around for an S500.
I watched this video because I bought a 2000 s500 with 115,000 miles like a year ago for $1000. Yup 1k. The only thing it had bad was that the front air shocks leaked after sitting for half a day. After getting estimates to replace them I thought wtf !!! The average cost was $1000 to replace each one!! So it sat in my garage for a year until I decided it was time to fix the damn thing. I did some research and decided to convert the suspension into the regular spring coils like most cars. Since it was a year 2000 car I didn’t want to deal with something else going bad with the air ride. So I bought the conversion kit for $800 (front and back) and had my machanic install them, he changed me $600 to do all four. He said it was a pain in the ass because it wasn’t nothing like it showed on the video. I think it drives and feels awesome, also, I have a piece of mind knowing that the suspension will not fail on me again. Sooo... the reasons I watched the video was because I didn’t know anything about the features it has and what the buttons do. Lol. But I still don’t know how to lower the back shade. 🤦🏽♂️ Can someone please help. Thanks.
I will be getting my first car soon after a few months and it will definitely be a S320 CDI 2000 like this one , love it , beautiful design , a truly Benz masterpiece in my opinion.
I bought my 2001 S430 Benz new in late Feb. 2001, and it was such a thrill. So fast, nimble, and utterly comfortable. My car-crush on it never let up. I looked at the 2001 BMW 740il, and it was so meh...a holdover from 1996.
LOL they took really good acting classes. It may not always be what you perceive, but rather how you perceive it. It shows that you’re the person battling addiction. And that’s totally ok! Not judging. Just wanted to reach out, speak up and send love. You can do this!! All the best!

18 years later and she still looks amazing. The w220 is truly an amazing design that will still look modern and elegant even after another 18 years! I remember riding in a 2001 S-class for the first time... I felt like I was in star wars. Compared to my dad's 626 Mazda, this thing was a spaceship. Over the years, I've had the pleasure to drive several w220s and they have all been brilliant. Tho if you do want a 2000s S-class, I do recommend getting the facelift. Less issues and a more modern and flush design.Looking forward to buying an S400CDI as a weekend car.
The down side to this car like so many other high end luxury car auto makers from around 1995 - 2006 is the technology and features in these cars could only be used in during the time period they were brand new. For example, the phone system in these cars cannot be used in today's time because you had to have a certain type of cell phone and service that would connect with these cars which most of the time the phone itself was usually provided by the car dealership when purchasing the car new. So if you go out today and buy a 12 to 18 year old S Class, 7 series, or Jaguar XJ8 in today's time, you can't use the phone system at all, the Navigation systems are not up to date and are missing a lot of information, and the SOS Button is no longer set up to connect you to anyone anymore. So in today's time to say you have one of these cars isn't really much to brag about when it comes to talking about all of it's gadgets that are now just dead unusable buttons and space. Point is these type of cars were build for what they knew and technology for that time period and nothing past that. Where in today's time, auto makers have built cars with technology and features that can still operate and function even 10 years from now. Hopefully. I guess we'll have to wait and see if your $100,000 2016 S Class features can still be used and operate in 2026.
It's not about all of the gadget that you can't use. It's the brand appeal. Many people buy older Mercedes and BMWs from 1970s - 2008+ because of the appeal. The newer cars have the latest technology that's true. But the latest doesn't always mean the greatest. This is why the smartest and wealthiest people don't buy the newest car. They buy the used models because of the brand appeal. I can still get head turns driving a 2000 Benz S500 as I would if I owned a 2008 Benz S500 with slightly newer technology.
Very true. But in todays time auto makers have all caught up with each other when it comes to options and features. So now there's no longer any separation anymore between a Hyundai and a benz. You can get the same features and options in a $30,000 Hyundai that come in a $100,000 high end luxury car. Yes the quality of parts are different but when someone says hey my new benz comes with navi, touch screen, soft closing doors, back up camera, blue tooth and more. Someone who drives a new Hyundai or Toyota can now say, yea mine to. So telling someone today that you bought a brand new BMW or Benz ain't much to brag about anymore.
these cars still represent amazing value for money (even if the above mentioned gadgets dont work) nowadays with chronic depreciation , i'm picking up a 2000 CL500 lpg gas converted for £2800 !!! consider this car was probably £70-90000 new !!
+1990Thunderbolt early model W220s were probably the least reliable S classes, even the head honchos at Mercedes knew it. The W221 picks up where the W140 stopped at IMO.
Well my 220 is running STRONG at 18 years ols and 188,000 miles ..doesn't even barely use oil ....so not sure what Koolade you're drinking?? Must be the Extra Spicey Stuff...Huh?
What are you talking about this was the beginning of the worst turn for Mercedes ever. Everything is plastic and the amount of computer systems and sensors is insane.
I remember when my dad bought one of these.. he went away for a business trip & I took it to school.. boy that was a bad idea because I was in 11th grade & he came home from his trip early and he called the cops saying his car was stolen.. Jesus do I wish I was young again haha.
it amazes me how on previous S-class W140 they designed that lunatic grab handle that automatically swings out of the trunk lid...instead of installing the hidraulic trunk lid operation system like on bmw e38. Same on this W220, all the doors have a softclose feature...but no fucking power trunk....Hillarious german engeneering.
I am assuming the optional cellular phone ran on the analogue network? Also I wonder how (to me at least) they made spraying water on the windshield and waiting for the wipers to activate look like fun.
104.3 is a hip hop jams station in Chicago Illinois, so this was designed with hip hop drug dealers rappers black people and generally anyone with alot of money.
thank you for loading video. does the s320 petrol have these functions as standard? more importantly does it have seat massage function and distance thing for avoiding car in front
2003 was the best year IMO. It had the updated styling and interior which included WAY better seats and it still had the reliable 722.6 transmission ( the early 722.9 transmissions had issues and can be very expensive to repair)
Looks like this video was shot January 7, 1999 (8:12), not exactly 2000. Makes sense, since the W220 came out in April 1999 for North America as a 2000 MY. I remember falling in love with the W220 as a kid back then, but grew to love the W140 more in adulthood. I would say that my dislike for the W140 (pre-1996 version) was mostly because of Princess Diana, but now I better understand how much better it is in retrospect. It goes for me like this. W222 > W140 > W126 > W221 > W116 > W220 (will not include W108/09)
Do you guys used to remember when your dad went crazy on the s430? He kept pressing a lot of buttons on the microphone and the call buttons and the SOS. Unfortunately my S430 does not have a battery for the phone.
Majeed Aryan 5 bucks says it's your childsmart sensor in passenger front seat that's gone bad, needs replacing to make light go out (likely need SDS to reset light after fix)
Thanks for this. I notice they don't measure the flaky tire pressure monitoring system. It's so flaky, the dealer will often just recommend disabling it.
You're welcome. I the model used in the video was the S 500, but I think the only major difference in between the S 430 and S 500 were the engine. All the other options were almost the same.
My daily driver is a 2000 S430. Everything still works as it should and the car still feels like new. Just hit 108,000 miles this morning. :) These really are the best cars in the world, if properly maintained.

My dad had an ‘02 S430 that he bought new. It eventually got hit by a semi truck at 150,000 miles.
Welcome to Scientology, er, your new Mercedes.
Great video if possible would you be able to find videos about the 1996 s class (w140)
Thank you for sharing! Now i know some tips and tricks
Where is the beam button?
Mine says everything in Japanese how do I change written language?
Even the manual is in Japanese. Help!
I wonder if the i, wrench and sos buttons still work. and imagine going into a mercedes benz dealer asking for that subscription!
for the phone features whats the monthly cost and what carrier?
face lift era w220 is the way to go. fairly easy to work on.
Do you do your own maintenance?
From my understanding w220 is more reliable vs easier to work on. So 2003-2005-ish?
2003 was the best year IMO. It had the updated styling and interior which included WAY better seats and it still had the reliable 722.6 transmission ( the early 722.9 transmissions had issues and can be very expensive to repair)
This is like some weird cut-scene from a street racing game where it's only luxury saloons
this window auto tech has been in my 1994 Jetta Vento for years xD
That's cute. Mercedes had it in the 1980s
Anyone know what fuse controls the rear headrest.
24 years ago
Feels like yesterday
awesome music wish i could find this somewhere to listen to
such a technological car for it's year
This is nicer than my 2014
Now I know what the "I" and wrench buttons are in my car, and why they no longer do anything.
Cassete? Why?
This car came out 1998
But was also way ahead of it's time, still needed some of the technology of then
I have a motorized rear view mirror. I can't figure out or find the button to move or adjust the mirror without breaking it. Can someone advise me.
This car has more options than a midrange new car
we have that car. but the base model not the full option
my s500 just died on me with no warning signs. no power. remote key won't open the doors and trunk. what could be the reason/reasons?
Has to be the battery! I would take it to a local Benz Dealer for more details.
+Kevin Rivers - The dealer is the last place you want to take an 18 yr old car.
Take the metal key out of the key with the buttons pop open the trunk find someone who can give you some juice for your battery
Never car dealership. I got 2002 w215 ,LOVE IT
Looks like this video was shot January 7, 1999 (8:12), not exactly 2000. Makes sense, since the W220 came out in April 1999 for North America as a 2000 MY. I remember falling in love with the W220 as a kid back then, but grew to love the W140 more in adulthood. I would say that my dislike for the W140 (pre-1996 version) was mostly because of Princess Diana, but now I better understand how much better it is in retrospect.
It goes for me like this. W222 > W140 > W126 > W221 > W116 > W220 (will not include W108/09)
What about the W223
"The best or nothing"
+cockshield well you can go fuck yourself!!!
Levigitaar I would if I could.
+Levigitaar even the 7 series in that era was no match for this s class xD
Levigitaar Disappear SCUMBAG
Levigitaar Audi A8 >>>>
I’m using 2001 S class, could you please help me to change the radio language?
This some real James Bond shit 😂
hi how can I change language from Japanese to English. it's s500 2001.
the car imported from Japan
thanks
You have to have sat nav cd inserted .language can be downloaded from nav CD.
Insert the navigation CD - then the "sprache" option will be available.
Do you guys used to remember when your dad went crazy on the s430? He kept pressing a lot of buttons on the microphone and the call buttons and the SOS. Unfortunately my S430 does not have a battery for the phone.
Great car, just got mine for $350, video uploaded
oh boy you've bought yourself a money pit
Really Happenings what is your Problem man???
Good luck bro
Gloria Trillo sent me here
Interior dude looks and sounds like Howard Hamlin from Better Call Saul.
Anyone know where to find same video in Spanish ? Thanks
how to rest srs in the dashboard of s500 2001
Majeed Aryan 5 bucks says it's your childsmart sensor in passenger front seat that's gone bad, needs replacing to make light go out (likely need SDS to reset light after fix)
great, I cant wait to drive this vehicle
спасибо за видео
Thanks for this. I notice they don't measure the flaky tire pressure monitoring system. It's so flaky, the dealer will often just recommend disabling it.
ooh awesome car! I think I will get one same this, but I have a question: all models have same this options?? 320-350 & 500?
+haitham al malabeh In the US for the Model year 2000 only the S430 and S500 were sold.
Aha.. thx 4 reply
You're welcome. I the model used in the video was the S 500, but I think the only major difference in between the S 430 and S 500 were the engine. All the other options were almost the same.
S500 came standard with a few things that were optional on the S430, like Bi-Xenon headlights, heated seats, Nappa leather, etc.
2018?
ASMR Material😴
is it possible for me to add spanish subs for this? i'd be happy to.
Do S class 320 2002 got SOS button ?
My mother in law's 2002 E320 had the SOS button.
@@compu85 I'm not having it on my S 320 2002 🤔 or maybe only for old age people I guess.
@@muhammadomer9799 It doesn't work now anyway since the analog cell network was shut down.
I need CD Navigation for Middle east
Mercedes is best for making good quality luxury cars
This, although informative is by far the strangest video I've seen!
what a video..awesome presentation
