Just want to say this used review only tells you 1/10 of the story, and I wish this is a more responsible review that really tells the reader what to expect.
For example, if I'm going to buy one W221, I will be full of troubles.

My advise is , if you are not loaded or wanted to waste money, ignore my comment.
But if you do, WALK AWAY from a W221. Don't get it wrong, its a flagship car from Mercedes Benz. But I would say its the highest maintenance car for the last past 6 generation S Class I've driven. And this is a shame, we have been driving them for decades, now we start to think.
I'm still driving a pretty new one in low 20000 kms. And already gone to the dealer for warranty repairs over 6 times. At least 3-4 times were Airmatics because it seem it don't survive our winter nights that dips below -30. Our previous SL550 did NOT survived it too with same damage and toll to the Airmatic. And please note for those who really wants a W221, once somewhere in the network leaks, the air compressor will be tossed too. Its NOT just a simple leak fix, and don't be naive.
So my last advice is - do not buy one if it do not have factory warranty. Same to other MB with Airmatics.
Although all our fixes are under warranty, but with so many problems within just short period of time
