Are the older S class cars worth getting?
I was looking to buy a new cheap car (VW UP! or similar) but saw today that I can get a good condition 2005 Mercedes Benz S class for less than half the price.
Is there any good reason why I shouldn't get the older but way way nicer car? I imagine that there will be more costs in the long run sure but will they be super high?

>will they be super high
relative to the cost of maintaining a new cheap car, yes. Look for a middle ground that is a decent used car without overly high miles or expensive maintenance.
No they're tanks, it's all a big perpetuated myth that they're expensive/unreliable. A car that was $110k under a decade ago selling for $7k now is just because of those terrible rumors, the little known secret to insiders is they are an incredible deal that will never give you any problems.

They are not expensive to maintain if you do all the maintenance yourself.
There's lots of websites and forums to help yo diagnose and fix problems.
The W220 shares the drive train and a lot of parts with the W211 Eclass which I have owned since 2009.
Besides regular maintenance, I've only ever replaced the motor rubbers.
Once you drive a big Mercedes - even a 30 year old one you will never want to get into a piece of shit littel babby car again.

Especially the ones who act like it's as reliable as a Lexus, or that all they need is maintenance and they'll run forever, it ain't the fucking 80s anymore
Oddly enough. They are good cars and haven't had any issues with mine.
