Hi guru's, am actually thinking of purchasing a 2001 mercedes s 430 which has starting issues, what could be the problem? Are the parts expensive to buy? Please I need your input, thanks buddies.

Don't even contemplate buying an S430, if all you have is a corolla budget.
It's a luxury limo with a luxury cost of spare parts........

Only you know the starting issues by scanning the car.

It is 2001 which implies OBD2 compliance.

Apart from body and suspension parts, the 'engine, drivetrain, transmission etc is similar to the following car models:
E430
C 43 AMG
CLK 430
E 43 AMG

Once you scan and get the codes, you can mention me on this post and we would review them together.

Please note that some corolla parts are more expensive than similar Benz parts....

And here is a warning....Benz is like cocaine; once you start using a Mercedes, to change brands would be hard....

When trouble sleep yanga go wake am, wetin he dey find Palava he dey find, Palava he go get oooo.

I hope before you touch that car, you have removed money for new engine, new ECU, new wiring, key and programming from the asking price.

When you have been able to fix that car, call me for a test drive, I get orgasm from V8s

not suitable for a beginner in Benz

@OP: why are you even contemplating buying a car with starting issue. Let the owner resolve the problem and add to the cost of the car. That way, you avoid unnecessary headaches.
That is why I cannot even think of buying naija used cars. If it is a tokunbo Micra that my budget could handle, then so be it.

The orgasm from a V8, is usually so addictive...........
