2000 Mercedes s430 s class 4 door sedan car v8
236,350 miles
Overall a good car - just bought a new one so no longer need.
Some known issues:
Front seat won’t really move
Intermittent shifting issues when turning on:
The symptoms:
• Occasionally, the car gets stuck in gear and won't shift, usually between 1st and 2nd. To fix it, I have to turn the ignition off in netural and restart the engine.
• Sometimes when I turn on the ignition, the instrument cluster shows "D" instead of "p", even though the car is in Park.
Seems to fix this one can resolder the optical pickups in the shifter or buy a new shifter - if buying used you would have to buy shifter, ignition and ecu from same doner car as it is an anti theft item.
Srs light on
Cd player doesn’t work
One of the headlights sometimes doesn’t come on on auto setting. Have to put on setting n do the light on multiple times to get it to come on sometimes.
