[W126 Coupe] Questions about 2003 S500

[Mister McGoo]

4-matic can be VERY expensive.  ... sometimes called the Mercedes Probla-matic, particularly as they age.

What do you all think of the 2003 S500? Are they reliable? Thinks to look out for? Do you think a like new S500 purchased today, with proper maintenance, would last another 10 years before becoming too expensive to own? I have a friend who is looking at one. He'll be living in Colorado (Denver area I think), assuming he uses snow tires will it be fine in the snow, or should he look for a 4-matic? How is the 4-matic system? How much of a trade off on performance is it?
Thanks,Richard
