You are bidding on a nice and clean S500,traded on a new car. Vehicle comes with all the books.2 remote keys, and the original sticker price for $ 90175,that only included one option,multi contour seat on the drivers side...,standard equipment was pretty generous:heated seats,all power seats and glass sunroof,side airbags and power closing doors. It has the original floormats,toolbox,even the battery is MB original part. We are familiar with the W140 body style,so,we had the car inspected,and installed new rear brakes and tires,also,front brakes are new,most likely previous owner just had them done.We also had a full synthetic oil change done,inspected the fluids,original MB antifreeze and topped the rear end fluid. Car runs excellent,very healthy,no transmission issues,all systems are operational,it has a aftermarket,in dash radar detector,that seems functional,I have no found any oil spots under the car during the inspection,aside from the normal seepeage from old gaskets,no drips. Body looks very nice,considering the age,I only found very little corrosion,2 small spots around the molding and by the rear trunk handle,it was garaged kept. Drivers side power window,will only go down half way,that regulator needs to be looked at and repaired eventually. NO RESERVE,this is a nice S500,well kept and serviced.
