This 1999 Mercedes-Benz S600 was initially sold new and registered in California where it’s remained under two owners since 1998. Notably, this S600 sports the “820” option code for reported European Delivery when new. It’s finished in Smoke Silver Metallic (702) over Exclusive Mushroom & Parchment Leather (515) and powered by a 6.0L M120 V12 paired to a 722.6 5-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Notable options and features on this car include xenon headlamps, an automatic antenna, multicontour heated front seats, power reclining heated rear seats, a rear rollerblind, Parktronic, an aftermarket Alpine DVD player, and factory BOSE stereo with a 6-disc CD-changer. The included Carfax report shows 13 service history records since new. The report notes various fluid and filter services along with emissions tests. Little is known about the car's service history aside from the report. This S600 is offered by the selling dealer with factory literature, factory tool kit, one key and one key fob, a carfax report, and a clean California title.
The car is finished in Smoke Silver Metallic (702) and features a power-operated glass sunroof with tilt function, headlight wipers for the factory xenon headlamps, a power antenna, and dual-pane insulated side windows.

The included Carfax report shows 13 service history records since new. The report notes various fluid and filter services along with emissions tests. Little is known about the car's service history aside from the report.

The W140 S600 represents Mercedes-Benz at its most unapologetic. A flagship sedan engineered with remarkable complexity, presence, and refinement. This 1999 example is especially appealing in a warm and elegant color combination that suits the final-year W140 shape beautifully. As an S600, the centerpiece is the naturally aspirated V12, delivering the smooth, effortless character that made these cars such a benchmark when new. Desirable equipment including Xenon headlamps, Parktronic, heated front and rear seats, and reclining rear seating reinforce the car’s original flagship intent, while the option code indicating European Delivery adds another layer of provenance and period Mercedes-Benz charm (We love the idea that this car toured Europe when new). For buyers who appreciate the last of the truly overbuilt S-Class sedans, this S600 offers the right ingredients: V12 power, final-year W140 presence, desirable options, elegant colors, and a specification that feels properly special. It is the kind of Mercedes that reminds us why the W140 earned its reputation in the first place.
