Just about 2 hours to go! I'd really like to see this car go to a good home so someone can enjoy it as much as I have.

@AKEsquire the color is what made me first fall in love with this one originally. Plus I love the rear seat package, but it really shines on the highway. It's a fantastic cruiser at speed.
Whoa, love the color on this one and looks like a nice example. I love the w220 and this setup is definitely hard to find.

@Davidsbenz560 I'm looking though the records now. Here are some other items that were done: brake fluid flushed and replaced, accessory belt idler pulley, tensioner and drive belt replaced, all 4 outside b pillar trim pieces replaced. I try to be as diligent as possible when it comes to taking care of my cars

@Davidsbenz560 no other fluids besides oil to my memory but I'll double check service records when I get home to be sure. I just do whatever my mechanic says it needs. All locks work with no issue. The rear was sagging in the cold weather if the car sat. Mechanic diagnosed the bad right rear shock so I replaced it. Windows and seats are working fine no issues. I did recharge the a/c about a year ago. It is in the records I have which I will include with the sale. Unfortunately I have no records for the car before my ownership. Hope that's helpful.
Any replacement or issue with squeaky ball joints ? What fluids have been replaced? Do all door and trunk lock work ? Does the car suspension sag or lower when it's off and parked overnight? Sunroof & seats all work ? Any AC service ? Do u have previous in addition to ur service records of the car ?
A couple of other items I took care of while this car has been in my care: I replaced the cloudy driver's side mirror as well as the broken cupholder door. I also had front and rear cameras installed when I added the updated infotainment system, and put a new Mercedes battery in last summer. The car was PA inspected in December and I've added probably less than 1000 miles since then. Feel free to ask any other questions!
@thembmarket Thanks! Works perfectly now.

@ReiB according to the brochure it looks like these were separate options. The rear seat package automatically came with heated and vented rear seats but ventilation for the fronts had to be specified additionally. I've seen a few equipped this way.
Hi and welcome to my auction for this beautiful 2005 S500 4Matic. I've used this car as my daily for the last year and it's really a fantastic highway cruiser. I will do my best to be as responsive as possible to your questions as the sale progresses. I'm looking forward to seeing this beauty find it's new home!
@JTBshaw We re-uploaded the file and the Carfax should load now, thanks!
Carfax won't load for me on two different devices. Anyone else have this issue?
Nice car, odd to see the rear seats heated/vented but the fronts are only heated. Our 2000 S500 had front and rear heated vented power seats. Was it not an option in 2005?
