You are bidding on a excellent running S500 traded on a new car. Car has a clean WI title,no lien and no issues,however,running a autocheck report,shows that in 2006 was issued a salvage title from the insurance company then sold again and got a clean WI title. We inspected the car and found no frame damage or,for that matter,no work done,most likely it was stolen years ago and then recovered and sold again,however,because the insurance paid the claim,it had that salvage history. Vehicle runs excellent,we inspected the car and installed a new sway bar link,found no leaks,the air shocks and the rest of the suspension/steering look great,front brakes are brand new and rear brakes are at least 50% life left. It has a new Mercedes smart key,because the original one had age cracks and it was intermittent,so,we ordered a new one from de dealer,so,now it has 2 keys... Interior is clean,non smoker or pet owner owned,all options work,there is no check engine light on,nav system has the Midwest region disc and works well. Exterior has a beautigul irridium silver blue metallic,only paint work I found,was on the trunk lid,that had some small damage next to the license plate and it was poorly repaired,recent job looks like. Tires are good,all four,60%.Drive it anywhere,runs 100% and looks nice,very little rust,some blisters around the rear wheel well,drivers side,quite unusual,these cars are known to start rusting since new,this one looks nice. NO RESERVE,this is a healthy S class,not a immediate money pit. ILLINOIS BUYERS WILL BE SUBJECT TO 7.00% SALES TAX AND LICENSE AND TITLE FEES.
