O Feedback Bids WILL be cancelled unless you contact me FIRST!! 1998 Mercedes Benz S600 Flagship!  Snow White exterior/Orion Gray interior.  Please don't mistake this for any of the other six S-Class models made this model year. Those year's models with the S320 base model sold at less than half of this car's MSRP!  This one has it all-wood trim and accents, exclusive Nappa two-tone leather seats that recline front and rear, alcantera suede headliner and real leather dash-it is worlds different than even a S500!!  Beautiful Condition, Always Maintained, Please see and drive!  Purchased new in Pompano by 65 yo lady from Manalapan, FL; traded in at Palm Beach MB 10 years later at age 75!  I purchased in 2008 as a front line car at Palm Beach Mercedes Benz.  Shortly thereafter, I met the lady and her son as I unknowingly purchased the car with the CD changer full of her CD's!!  (Returned, of course)  Great management at Palm Beach MB, after returning a few days later to buy a MB car cover , extra key and new floor mats, I mentioned a few small issues and they put the car in service and told me to make a list.  All was repaired as part of my purchase!!  Car has never been in disrepair and has been a pleasure to own.  Really a well built car, solid, quiet and full of performance.  This particular car made 20 mpg going to The Keys at 60 mph on cruise control,  although with a shade under 400 factory horsepower [no turbo needed here], many people don't realize it is capable of low 14 second 1/4 miles.  Her son told me he spec'ed the optional staggered 18" AMG wheels from the dealer and had a high dollar K40 integrated laser/radar detector installed.  Other than that 100% stock.   No luck obtaining the original window sticker, although research indicates the car was north of $135,000 new..  Car shows well with extremely slight wear on the seat bolster.  Exterior appears to have suffered a senior citizen tap to the front bumper which  shows an irregular gap but quality refinishing.  Most unfortunately apparent is a small amount of rust that has developed around the sunroof.  Other than these blems (and a Mercedes enthusiast who 'obtained' my hood emblem with a five finger discount) the body is superb. I have purchased the new hood emblem, it is uninstalled as of now. The dealer printed out the service history that was recorded each visit.  When the dealer irritated me with their battery policy I found an AWESOME independent dealer in Boca Raton (Boca Star Services and Repairs ) who has been taking care of the vehicle.  This year the transmission was serviced and the engine and transmission mounts replaced.  His 16 years MB dealer experience has come into good use and he is beyond competent by a large margin.  Please come and see the car or send a qualified tech to see this gem; you won't be sorry.  This car is the frequent recipient of compliments wherever it goes.     $15,000.00                Regards, Mike ModelS600L Chassis1400571a392888 Engine120982 12 009548 Transmission722621 00 602579 Order0 8 704 41275 Delivery Date10-23-1997 Equipment/Features/Performance for this genre: 1)5987cc DOHC 48 valve V12 2)389 HP, 420 ft/lbs torque 3)Driver adaptive electronic 5 speed automatic 4)Automatic slip control 5)0-60 mph =6.3 seconds. 1/4 mile ET=14.3 seconds 6)EPA 13 mpg/19mpg 7)Electronically controlled adaptive dampening system (ADS) 8)Brake Assist 9)1-touch up/down all windows 10)Dual-Pane glass (often mistaken for 'bulletproof' 11)Soft close assist doors/trunk-you push lightly into latch and door pulls closed by itself 12)12 way power seats/memory with 3 position lumbar 13)Heated front and rear seats 14)Power rear seats and headrests 15)Leather seat pockets, headrests and door trim 16)Suede headliner 17)Burl Walnut trim on doors, dash and consoles 18)Leather and walnut trimmed steering wheel and shift knob 19)Rear Passenger heating and a/c controls 20)Velour embroidered floor mat 21)Bose sound with 11 speakers 22)Integrated analog docking portable cellular phone 23)Electric tilting/sliding roof in glass version 24)Electric roller blind/Rear window power sunshade 25)Rear illuminated vanity mirrors 26)In dash-cellular phone control 27)Parktronic object avoidance system 28)Self-leveling gas discharge lamp/Xenon Headlights with wipers 29)All chrome front grill 30)Integrated K40 radar and laser detector 31)Anti theft warning system I will be adding more photos.  Car sold 'as-is' and 'where-is',  advance electronic bank payment or certified funds with valid identification during bank hours required for payment prior to pick-up.  Note: Non-refundable deposit due within 24 hours.  In the unlikely event the transaction in not completed, this offset the time and expense of listing the item, and to compensate for the period the vehicle is unavailable to other qualified buyers!   On Oct-20-14 at 18:44:51 PDT, seller added the following information:
