Excellent running Mercedes Benz S430 that we just bought. My wife liked the car so much that I'm going to buy her a newer model, that's why we are selling this one. You know the saying: Happy wife, Happy Life! haha. This beauty has a white exterior with saddle leather that rides like a full-sized yacht and is tight as a drum, looks beautiful, and you’d take it to a wedding and look good doing it too. The V8 motor runs nice and quiet with no apparent leaks and the exhaust purrs like a kitten. The transmission shifts smoothly through the gears, the brakes are strong, and I simply can’t find a fault in the mechanical department to tell you about. The dash display reads Service Airmatic but the car does not sag overnight and sits level so maybe there’s a sensor or a need to reset the system. The interior is very healthy aside from a couple small splits in the driver's seat bottom but the rest of the leather upholstery is clean and the carpets are very nice too. The headliner and dash are perfect, all the power buttons work correctly including windows, locks, power and heated seats, the stereo plays but the screen does not light up to show you your station, and the A/C blows ice cold. There are no bad smells inside of smoke or pets and it sure was extremely well-kept for a higher mileage one. The body is very nice looking from every angle with good looking white paint that has nice shine and no peeling or fading of the top coat. No big dents are evident, the factory wheels are in very nice shape with a healthy set of Goodyear tires. There are several areas of paint bubbling around the seams including the door bumpers and fenders which you’d miss if you weren’t looking for them and no big rusty marks or holes in the body so that just comes with age. If you were looking for a high-end luxury sedan that’s bigger than some peoples’houses and you weren’t looking to spend big bucks, this one will be sold with no reserve, so thanks for looking and good luck with the auction!On Jul-14-15 at 15:06:38 PDT, seller added the following information: Expensive Airmatic suspension was replaced with Strutmasters Coil over Shock suspension system which cost $1500 to purchase and $2000 to install but you will Never have to worry about a sagging airbag again!
