Up for your consideration is a fantastic 1-owner example of the 1997 Mercedes Benz S320 sedan. This vehicle was purchased new by my grandfather in 1997 (pre-delivery inspection 5/21/97) from R&H Motorcars in Owings Mills, Maryland. My grandfather passed away soon after and the vehicle was only driven by my grandmother on short trips to the beauty shop, grocery store, etc. My grandfather had sheepskin seat covers and rubber floor mats installed before the car left the showroom, and the seat covers were only removed recently so I could take pictures of the interior's condition. The back seat was only used maybe 5 times. The car has only 56,509 miles on it. It is very nicely equipped and even has the built-in voice activated analog Mercedes car phone. After the warranty expired, the vehicle was serviced at my cousin's Mercedes specific repair shop before he retired, which specialized in rare Mercedes restorations including Gullwings and imported G-Wagens. My grandmother recently told me that she no longer feels comfortable driving, and I do not have the space for this car, so sadly I must sell it. Keep in mind that I am not an expert, but from what I can see condition wise, the interior is immaculate. The black paint has some dull parts including the roof and trunk lid. Some of the wheel paint is peeling. You should be able to see most, if not all of the cosmetic condition in the photos. Mechanically, the car was looked over recently and found it needs the following to pass inspection (your prices may be different or you can have my guy do the work after payment and prior to pick-up): Transmission Stuck in 3rd - Replace Trans Valve Body, Complete Trans Service $750Replace All Four Tires - $541Replace Drive Belt - $160Replace Wiper Blades - $40Replace Power Steering Box - $900Four Wheel Alignment - $89Air Conditioning Service - $89 I did not have any of this done as I am selling the car. According to my grandmother, the central locking is acting up and there may be some other quirks, so please keep that in mind before bidding. Also, as far as I know, the car was damaged years ago when my grandmother accidentally hit the car in front of her at a stop light. I'm assuming this is in the Carfax, but I have not seen it. If it isn't, then my cousin just did the work for her without charging her. I have tried to show the beauty AND the flaws in the pictures, however if you would like more information or a picture, feel free to contact me. I don't really know mechanical aspects, but I can test out features if you'd like to know if they are working. Also, please ignore the S500 badging...my grandfather added that. This is an S320. I am sad to sell this car as this was my grandfather's baby, however I do not have the space to keep an extra car right now. I am selling as-is. I hope it goes to a good home where this classic Mercedes Benz will be cared for. Thank you for looking and best of luck winning your new Mercedes!
