Vehicle was purchased new in August 1997 and has been owned and maintained by the same owner since. Vehicle has been meticulously maintained and cared for and has never spent a night parked outdoors. Very low mileage and non-smokers car, make this S500 W140 a classic that is incredible to drive. Engine/Transmission are flawless and smooth. Never been in accident or any body work performed - very minor scratches and scuffs. Interior condition is perfect and no food or drinks were allowed in the vehicle. All service records, purchase documents, manuals and keys are included. The S500 W140 introduced innovations such as double-pane glazed windows, power-assisted closing for doors and trunk lid, electric windows which lowered back down upon encountering an obstruction and a heating system which, if desired, continued to emit warm air after the engine was turned off. For details like this, the W140 is often known as the last "over-engineered" Mercedes.
