I just turned in a 04 S55 because It had made numerous trips to the dealership for service, then the computer failed and left me stranded.

Well, from first hand knowledge. I will NEVER purchase another MB so long as I remember I said this.

Thats interesting, my father-in-law's 95' S420 was wrought with problems including a bad transmission. I would think at the very least you would have replaced all four window regulators.

And my 93 300SD and '99 S320 both had electrical problems. It's 14 years since Lexus wow-ed the automotive world and, in the end, stll no one comes close.

about 4 days after they delivered my S55 one of the Xenon lights went out and they told me that it is NOT covered underwarranty. I had to pay over $400.00 to get it replaced.

As to your comment about most problems being after '99....NOT TRUE. Actually, my '99 was more reliable than my earler Benzi. And if it IS true, I would REALLY be concerned because the pre-99 cars were not nearly as reliable as any year Lexus.
