This 1994 Mercedes-Benz S500 was purchased new in September 1993 by the original owner who added just 22k miles over three decades of ownership. Finished in Polar White (149) over Blue Leather (262), power is provided by a 5.0-liter M119 V8 linked to a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Factory equipment includes a power sliding sunroof, remote central locking, pneumatic closing doors, heated and power-adjustable front and rear seats, automatic climate control, power dual-pane windows and a Bose Beta audio system. The original window sticker is included showing an MSRP of over $95k. Recent maintenance includes four new tires, an engine oil change and a new serpentine belt. This 1994 S500 is now offered for sale by the selling dealer with the original service booklet, the original manufacturer’s literature, a clean one-owner Carfax report and a clean Ohio title in the dealer’s name.
The cabin is upholstered in Blue Leather (262) which extends to the dashboard, steering wheel and door panels and is complimented by blue floor mats and Burl Walnut wood trim which shows no signs of cracking or fading. Both front and rear outboard seats are heated and offer power adjustability with three position memory for the front. Additional interior appointments include a power adjustable steering column, a power adjustable and auto-dimming rear view mirror, front and rear illuminated vanity mirrors, automatic climate control, cruise control and a 11-speaker Bose Beta audio system. A Panasonic car phone was installed by the original owner and can be seen mounted next to the center console.
The blue leather-wrapped steering wheel fronts VDO instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, economy, coolant temperature and oil pressure. A digital outside temperature sensor is mounted centrally at the bottom of the cluster. The six-digit odometer currently shows just over 22k original miles.
This W140 is powered by a 5.0-liter M119 V8 which is factory rated for 315 horsepower and 349 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. Recent maintenance performed by the seller includes an engine oil and oil filter change along with a new serpentine belt. The original service booklet is included showing extensive dealer maintenance from new. Underbody photos have been provided by the seller and are included in the photo gallery.
The Carfax report shows just one owner with registration reported in New Jersey along with linear mileage updates from new. No accidents or damage reports are present on the Carfax.

For many, the W140 S-Class represents the peak of Sacco-era legendary Mercedes design and construction. After over a billion dollars in development, the W140 became perhaps the most sought-after and well-loved Mercedes globally; used by heads of state and diplomatic envoys even today across the world. Exterior styling is reminiscent of the late 80’s combined with cutting edge technology and a fresh perspective intended to welcome the 90’s with open arms and minds. Sacco designed the perfect sedan with the W140 which provided ultimate comfort in a package that exudes class from every angle. This pre-facelift example features the earlier amber corner markers, early style tail lights and the iconic two-tone paint scheme. Finished in a unique white over blue combo and showing just one owner with 22k miles from new, this W140 is sure to make for the perfect addition to any MB enthusiast’s garage.

@OlyOop Hello , and thanks for your concern, so as far as the oil pressure gauge reading , we drove the vehicle about 3 miles to get to this location and the engine was a little warmed up , plus pictures were taken prior to the oil change , we had to wait for the parts since we ordered from fcp euro , but i do have couple of videos for the gauges at cold start and idling I’ll upload ASAP , and as far I’m concerned we all know these engines were made bulletproof and gets to 300k miles without any issues, so you shouldn’t be worried about mechanical problems in a 22k miles m119 that’s been kept in a climate controlled garage, same story with the wire harness it’s not dry no signs of cracks and still smooth I’m not sure if it’s because previous owner has replaced them or they didn’t get much heat during its life , thank you again for your questions and I’m glad to answer if you have moreLovely car. In the photo of the gauge cluster, it appears that the car is idling with a fairly cool engine, and the oil pressure indicated is lower than I'd expect. Can you provide readings of oil pressure (using the scale on the gauge) for cold idle, hot idle, and when driving at, say, 70mph? Also, has any section of the wiring harness been replaced? Are any functions out-of-order at this time? Thank you!$11,500 bid placed by @GoRexGo
