Shall I buy an S-Class
I find yourself website very informative and useful. It helped me purchase a Mondeo MkIII, unfortunately the Mondeo needs replacing.
I have a budget of around £1800. I notice my budget could stretch to a late 1990s Mercedes S280 (w140) model. I anticipate higher running costs, but are these cars reliable? What should I look out for?

Potential financial nightmare. That's why you can get one for £1,800. Stick with Mondeo IIIs.
