This 1994 Mercedes-Benz S600 Coupe was sold new in Texas where it remained registered through 2013 when it was moved to California. The car shows 3 owners since new, California registration since 2013, and 51k miles. Finished in Spruce Green Metallic (249) over Creme Beige Leather (265), power is provided by a 6.0-liter M120 V12 mated to a four-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Factory equipment includes a sliding sunroof, remote central locking, Adaptive Damping suspension with automatic level control, heated multicontour front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, the OEM Becker radio, and a Bose Beta audio system. The included carfax report shows 13 service history records, most of which show dealer servicing over the years. Recent services include an oil service, new transmission mounts, a transmission service, a new fuel pump and fuel filter, a cooling system service, a new thermostat and temperature sensor, a new mass airflow sensor harness, a throttle body service, new vacuum flap actuators, a new front right window regulator, and a new right door latch. This S600 Coupe is now offered for sale with the original manufacturer’s literature, both original keys, a fitted car cover, and a clean California title.
The pillarless body is finished in Spruce Green Metallic (249) with contrasting green lower body cladding. Exterior features include front fog lamps, headlamp wiper/washers, a power sliding sunroof, heated and power-adjustable door mirrors, pop-up reversing guides, dual-pane windows, soft-close doors and remote central locking. The Carfax report shows an accident reported in 2020 with little information given. The seller notes the rear of the car was repainted due to dealer badge removal and a small wrinkle in the body work with a photo provided in the gallery. Original "V12" badges are affixed to the rear pillars. A small chip in the windscreen is noted.
18” AMG Aero II Monoblock wheels are mounted and show 140-specific part numbers. Vredestein tires are mounted and measure 245/45 and 255/45 front to back with 2020 date codes shown. Original 8-hole wheels are included in the sale and wear Michelin tires installed in 2020. Photos of the original wheels are included.
The cabin is trimmed in Creme Beige Leather (265) with matching beige floor mats and headliner. Burl Walnut wood trim accents the center console, dash and door panels. Both front seats are heated with 12-way power adjustability, multicontour backrests and three-position memory. Interior amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a power-adjustable rear-view mirror and steering column, a power rear sunshade, power rear headrests, a 12-speaker Bose Beta audio system, and a Becker radio with a bluetooth audio retrofit. The Burl veneer has recently been refinished. The seller does note that rear rollerblind is inoperable.
The four-spoke leather wrapped steering wheel frames analog instrumentation including a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, economy, coolant temperature and oil pressure. The six-digit mechanical odometer shows just over 51k miles from new.
This C140 is powered by a 6.0-liter M120 V12 which is rated for 389 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission. The included carfax report shows 13 service history records, most of which show dealer servicing over the years. Recent services include an oil service, new transmission mounts, a transmission service, a new fuel pump and fuel filter, a cooling system service, a new thermostat and temperature sensor, a new mass airflow sensor harness, a throttle body service, new vacuum flap actuators, a new front right window regulator, and a new right door latch.

@babtainy Thank you . These pre-facelift 140s did have the wiring harness issue. While I haven't been able to obtain records dating back to new to verify whether it's been addressed or not, the harness appears to be in good shape (see photos 70-72). Incidentally I did have the mass airflow sensor harness replaced (receipts on pics 99 & 100).
Thanks @Boatymcboatface, completely agree. Speaking of undervalued, its $135k sticker price adjusted for inflation equates to nearly $300k today (!)
Nice car… new to the w140, question, 1994. Does it have the harness issue similar to the R129? Sl600?
Beautiful C140 V12 in a great color combo. Really wonderful condition and great records. The V12 coupe is really the best way to experience the M120 out of the S, SL, CL. I have all three and the CL time is just right. These are very under-valued. SRS light could be 14 different things and if it goes off its nothing to worry about. Hope it does well.
Hi @jimseeger, thanks for the note and good question. As mentioned in the video description, the SRS light turns off about 2 minutes after the car has been started. Based on my research it's considered a non-critical fault, likely from the seatbelt sensor going out. As the seatbelt still functions as it should and the light goes out, I have left it as is. Please feel free to ask any other questions and, if you're local and interested in seeing the car in person, let me know.
Red light on dash in driving video. Please describe or explain. TIA
