I am considering buying a 2008 Mercedes-Benz S 320 CDI long wheelbase with 100,000 miles on the clock; what kind of trouble am I buying?

Hi Paul,
Generally speaking not too much trouble although it's worth bearing in mind that the 2006-on S-Class comes from a time when Mercedes-Benz was still suffering from problems in the electrical department. It's those electrics that are the most fragile point of any S-Class, especially the complicated Comand infotainment and satnav system. Make sure everything works and budget some extra for problems in the future.
