1995 Mercedes-Benz S-Class: Buy or Avoid?

The 1995 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, a paragon of over-engineered luxury, offers an unparalleled driving experience but demands a significant financial commitment to maintain its vault-like integrity. While built to last, its intricate systems, particularly the notoriously biodegradable wiring harnesses and complex climate control, will inevitably require costly attention. This is a car you buy for the experience, knowing you'll invest heavily in its preservation, not for budget-conscious reliability.
