This 1999 Mercedes-Benz S500 was sold new in April 1999 by Crown Eurocars Inc in Pinellas Park, Florida and remained with the first owner in Maryland through 2019. The car then spent time in Tennessee before relocating to Virginia in March 2024 with the current seller who has added 13k of the 93k original miles on the odometer. Finished in Obsidian Black Metallic (197) 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, staggered 19" AMG Monoblock wheels, a Continential headunit with Bluetooth, 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. Recent service includes a transmission service, sway bar links, lower control arms, rear shocks, front brake pads and rotors, and an oil change. This final-year model W140 is now offered for sale by the current owner with partial service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Montana title.
The long-wheelbase body is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic (197) and exterior equipment includes a power tilt/slide glass sunroof, Xenon HID headlamps with heated washers and wipers, heated power door mirrors, remote central locking and soft close doors. Very minor scratches are noted on the body and shown in the gallery with no signs of rust or damage. The car wears all original paint as verified by consistent paint meter readings and the clean Carfax report. The bumpers are also original paint with the factory semi-gloss finish. A paint correction and polish was performed in late 2024 along with a ceramic coating.
Authentic staggered 19" AMG Aero II monoblock wheels are fitted and come wrapped in a set of Continental Extreme Contact tires which were fitted new in 2024. The wheels are in excellent condition with polished lips and no curb marks. The self-leveling rear suspension maintains a constant rear ride height regardless of cargo load. New OEM 8mm spring pads were installed in the front to level the car from the factory height. A spare wheel and jack are located under the trunk floor. New front brake pads, rotors, and sway bar end links were installed in January 2025, with an alignment, new front lower control arms, bushings, and rear shocks fitted in October 2025.
The cabin is upholstered Black Leather (261) with Burl Walnut wood trim lining the center console, dash and door panels. The burl walnut wood shows well with rich color and no cracks. Both front seats are heated with 14-way power adjustability. Additional features include heated rear seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a power adjustable steering column, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and a Bose audio system linked to a Continental headunit with bluetooth capability and a CD changer in the trunk. The key FOB is noted to be inoperable to remotely lock and unlock, and must be done with the flip out key. The seller notes the AC blows ice cold and the heat works flawlessly along with the heated seats.
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 93k miles, 13k of which have been added by the seller.
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. A full service in November 2024 included new front brake pads, front brake rotors, a brake sensor, front sway bar links, and an oil service. In January 2025, a transmission service and fluid flush, along with an oil and filter change was performed. In preparation for the sale, an inspection was performed which resulted new front lower control arms, bushings, new rear shocks, and a fresh oil & filter change in October 2025. The Carfax report lists 21 service history records with regular oil change intervals and other maintenance. The factory service booklet lists an additional service not noted on the Carfax on June 15, 2009 when the car had 47,356 miles showing where the brake fluid was flushed performed along with new spark plugs, engine air filter, charcoal filter, and fuel filter installed.
The Carfax report shows registration history in Maryland, Tennessee and Montana. Linear mileage updates are shown with no accidents or damage reports since new on the Carfax. This 1999 S500 is now offered for sale by the current owner in Roanoke, Virginia with partial service records, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Montana title.

Hello again and welcome to the auction for my beloved W140! In addition to my turbo diesel S123 also being auctioned, I'm offering this car as well which I've spared no expense to make as close to perfect as possible. I've taken this car on numerous road trips as well as around town and it has never had any issues whatsoever. It is by far the most comfortable car I own. When I was first on the hunt for the perfect W140, I knew I wanted black on black, xenons, heated seats, original paint, a clean Carfax, and the 5.0 M119. This car checked all the boxes and was a final year model 1999. I spent considerable time dialing in the ride height to get the perfect OEM+ stance and perfect ride quality. I also added staggered 19" AMG Monoblock wheels which I personally think are the best wheel choice for the W140. It would be a tall order to find a better example anywhere! I truly hate to let this one go, but I've got some things brewing and 18 cars is a bit much to manage. Best of luck to all interested bidders! I've tried to be as thorough as possible with the photos and description. I'll try to be as responsive as possible for any potential questions.
