Overview: You are bidding on an impeccable example of a 1993 500 SEL, the last of the "Overengineered" S class. Only 79K original miles! One owner, religiously maintained and always garaged. There are a lot of W140's out there, but I defy you to find one as clean and unmolested as this one is. No leaks and no warning lights on the dash are the first signs that this vehicle has been taken care of. Vehicle is located in Carlsbad, Ca. I have posted copy of carfax to illustrate extensive maintenance history. California buyer will receive a current smog certificate, and a copy of carfax report. Good Luck. Engine: Engine starts easily. Settles into a nice 700 rpm idle. No smoke on start up. Pulls like a locomotive all the way to redline with no hesitation, no missing or knocking. Transmission: Transmission upshifts and downshifts seamlessly with no hard shifts or slipping whatsoever. The classic MBZ transmission test of shifting from Park to Reverse to Park again reveals a slight nudge upon engagement. No clunk...no hesitation, just a smooth transition as it was designed. Paint/Interior: Chimney Brown Poly Metallic is what Mercedes called this color back then. Paint is original. No signs of repair, body filler or removed panels anywhere. All body panel VIN stickers are present. Nice original shine due to being garaged all of it's life. Interior shows to be perfect. Leather, wood, dash, console, headliner, carpets are all in perfect condition with no tears, cracks or sun rot. Small golf ball size wear pattern on driver seat, but has not perforated or cracked the leather. Floor mats show obvious wear as they are original. I have included a "before" photo of paint damage on driver side rear bumper. Bumper has since been repainted and looks like new. Brakes/Tires: Brakes are at 70% life left. Vehicle stops straight and true with no rotor vibration. Tires are Michelin MX4's all around and have about 75% tread life left. They are wearing evenly and show no balance issues through the steering wheel. Wheels are original OEM alloys and are in perfect condition with no road rash anywhere.
