This car has high miles, but is in good shape. The car has been owned by an attorney for the last 7 years. The mileage is high because the owner commutes to work and back 200 miles per day. The car has been appropriately maintained. The interior is black on black leather. There is a navigation system and BOSE stereo system. The car also has custom, locking 20" rims. There are no major mechanical problems. The only issue with the car is that it has ONE leaky air strut on the front (the other one was replaced by Mercedes 2 months ago and at that time, they advised that the remaining one was not in need of immediate repair, though they did note that it had a slow leak). There is a repair kit that can be purchased for this to avoid replacement of the strut if desired. Additionally, the check engine oil light came on a few weeks ago. I had the oil changed immediately thereafter. The shop that changed the oil confirmed that the oil is fine, but did not have the tool to reset the light. The car drives fine -- everything is working --- just has one leaky air strut that will likely need repair soon. Although the car is an S430, when I purchased it, the previous owner had it relabeled as an S500 (silver letters/numbers on back of car). There are also AMG letters on the rear. They look nice, so I never changed them. The car is being sold as-is for a quick sale. The reserve is VERY low. NOTE: This car was posted last week and in ONE DAY it "sold". The buyer contacted me and seemed like a nice enough guy; however, he has been unable to get the money to me to pay for the car. I get the impression that he was excited by the opportunity to purchase the car, but really may not have the funds or the follow-through to complete the transaction. The terms of this purchase require a $2000 deposit within 48 hours of winning the bid and full payment within 36 hours. If you live outside of Florida, then please consider a shipper for the car. There are many that you can find through EBay or Google. The cost is likely to be less than or close to what you would pay flying to Florida to get it and driving it back and paying for gas. It's your call should you win. I will deliver the title upon full payment. I can do this by sending it to you via express mail, handing it to you if you come pick it up personally, or by leaving it in a secure place within the car if you are having the car shipped.
