This 1999 Mercedes-Benz S500 shows registration reported in California since 2000 with 69k miles shown on the odometer. Finished in Black (040) over Black Leather (261), power is provided by a 5.0-liter V8 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Factory equipment includes a power sliding glass sunroof, Xenon headlamps, remote central locking, soft-close doors, self-leveling rear suspension, heated and power-adjustable front seats, heated rear seats, dual-zone automatic climate control and a Bose audio system. The rear self-leveling shocks were replaced in 2023 along with window regulators and a new battery.

Minor scratches are visible on the body with no signs of rust or damage and no accidents shown on the Carfax report.
Authentic 18" AMG Aero II monoblock wheels are fitted and come wrapped in a set of Continental Extreme Contact tires. The self-leveling rear suspension maintains a constant rear ride height regardless of cargo load.
The cabin is upholstered Black Leather (261) with Burl Walnut wood trim lining the center console, dash and door panels. Both front seats are heated with 14-way power adjustability. Interior appointments include dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a power adjustable steering column, heated outboard rear seats, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a Bose audio system. The front passenger seat seam shows some separation in the center as seen in photos. The passenger side window regulators were replaced in 2023.
A leather steering wheel fronts 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 digital odometer currently shows 69k miles.
This W140 is powered by a 5.0-liter DOHC M119 V8 which is rated for 315 horsepower and 347 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed 722.6 automatic transmission. Maintenance performed in 2023 includes new self-leveling shocks in the rear and a new battery. The seller reports the car has been in climate controlled storage for the last few months and an oil and filter change was perfomed prior.

Included with the car is a set of amber corner markers and a chrome front grille.

I daily a 1999 S500 with more miles and this example looks in great shape. Congrats to the seller and eventual buyer. Can't say enough good things about these; built like a tank and the engineering is out of this world. Add a Grom adapter to the stereo and the sound system is great.

@abramov7070 please email me at [email protected]. I will reply back with my phone number. Thanks!
@cjehdian sure send me send me an email with your phone number. I will give you a call and schedule time with you.
@abramov7070 thank you. I see you are in Studio City, would I be able to take a look at the car in person?
@cjehdian Air conditioner works All 4 windows go up and down Steering wheel adjuster works Sunroof open and close and tilt work Both seats are fully adjustable and all the functions on the seat works
How is the AC? Do all electronics such as seat and steering wheel adjusters, power windows and sunroof work?
@CraigSu yes will take more pictures tomorrow
Can you add driver’s seat perspective photos of the steering wheel and gauge cluster? The oblique angles in the current photos don’t allow for a detailed view. Also, could you add close up photos of the aforementioned exterior scratches? I thought I saw something at the base of the driver’s side B-pillar trim but perhaps it was just a reflection. Lovely spec for this W140!
