2003 mercedes s500 4matic? whats it worth - willbhere4u - 10-10-2013
Its a 2003 s500 4matic it has 186k new axles and drive shaft but supposedly needs a transfer case the body is clean the interior needs a detailing the nav screen had a dime sized spot in the middle that doesn't work very annoying and the cup holder is fubar

I bought it for 2k it makes lifter noise until it warms up and the transfer case or rear diff is make noise. But it runs out nice I'm a little nervous about the engine noise. I'm hoping it just a plugged lifter. I will run some sea foam through it and preform an oil change.

You need to change oil in transfer case. It need specific oil, and oilchange is every 45000km.

The transfer case is making bad noises I think its shot.

It clunk while accelerating or deceleration or turning and its A very loud sounds like a drive shaft about to fall off. I better get underneath it and check it the drive shafts where just replaced by the previous owner in the last 1k miles along with the axle shafts. maybe they where not tightened correctly? Any ways a used t/case with low miles can be had for around $600
