I'm looking at buying a 2000 S430 and was wondering if there are any specific issues or concerns from this model year? The car only has
Thank you!

Run carfax on this car... and let the dealer inspect the car before you buy it... that is if you are buying from private individual or used car dealers... you need to ask for permission and make appointment with dealer.
airmatic suspension has a tendency to go bad on these. As does the brakng system

I bought an S 430 new in 2000. Thank God there was a warranty, because everything in the world went wrong in the first couple of years. Replace the AC , replace the front suspension, and a jillion other smaller things.
Now however with about 80,000 miles, it seems to be OK. I did today have to replace the ABS acutuater pump ($1400), but that's probably normal for a car with this age and mileage.
The main problem with this car is the cost of service. For example, new wiper blades are $68 each. If you can find a non-stealership mechanic, do so. Otherwise, it's a great car.

What I wanna know is, how many jillions are there in a zillion?
DAS
For direct contact replace nospam with schmetterling
I looked it up online and retail is 48 and they can be had for 40-45.
Must be nice having a car with platinum reinforced wiper blades. WTF?
About a gazillion.
