The old square ones 
Anyonne driven one? What engine/spec was it?
Dads considering one, can pick em em fairly cheap with reasnable miles and massive spec. Ive always liked them. Well big and in your face.
I know petrol etc will be high, but im guessing mercedes would RAPE you for servicing etc? Lots of stuff on them to go wrong, are they reliable
What they like to drive? do they feel as big as they look?

Huge car, and it will feel it.
Find an independent specialist. Merc services are loads, yes.

Kid at my school had one, an S320 - he crashed it twice and he had to sit on a cushion to see over the steering wheel
His dad and brother had matching ones too - the dad's was an S500, dunno bout his bro's
Think it was the next version from that picture though, but not the latest 'curvier' one.
