    Mercedes S-Class Review, For Sale, Models, Specs & News in Australia

    FROM
    $251,600

    Following a long line of Mercedes-Benz large saloons before it, the carmaker adopted the S-Class name in 1972 for its flagship four-door model.

    Immediately identifiable as the pinnacle of the Mercedes range, each new S-Class introduces new technology and features which trickle down to other Benz models. It is now in its seventh generation.

    The line-up currently starts at $251,600 for the S-Class S450 4Matic and ranges through to $342,500 for the range-topping S-Class S580L 4Matic.

    Unfortunately all brands are subject to failures, even Mercedes-Benz, and while you should rightly expect better service from an expensive brand like Mercedes-Benz your car is seven years old. Problems with the air suspension on the S-class are not unusual. You could press your case for some form of compensation from Mercedes-Benz itself, not the dealer, and the company might come to the party for part of your costs. If that doesn't happen and you are left to repair the car at your own cost go to an independent mechanic who specializes in Mercedes-Benz and have them repair it. That way you should be able to make a substantial saving on the cost of the  repair. Many owners have their cars converted to regular suspension, which can be done for much less than repairing the air suspension.
