This 2003 Mercedes-Benz S600 was originally delivered to Prestige Motors of Paramus, NJ when new as a special-order vehicle as noted on the original window sticker. It shows New Jersey, New York, and Massachusetts registration since new and 18k original miles. Finished in Bordeaux Red (567) over Ash Leather (578), power is provided by a twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter V12 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission. This flagship sedan boasts a $136k MSRP and features an optioned AMG Sport Package, Bi-Xenon Headlamps, Parktronic, Distronic, Dynamic heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, Keyless-Go and four-zone automatic climate control. The included Carfax report shows some service history including some dealer servicing. Additionally, in preparation for the sale, this S600 received new ABC struts up front, a new PSE pump, and an ABC service. The car is offered by the selling dealer out of Darien, Wisconsin with factory literature, two keys, and a clean Massachusetts title.
The car is finished in Bordeaux Red (567)and features the AMG Sport Package consisting of sculpted, more aggressively styled bumpers, side skirts, and chrome twin exhaust tips stamped with the AMG logo. Additional features include bi-xenon headlights, a power glass sunroof, Parktronic, Distronic, soft-close doors, a power-operated trunk lid, and auto-dimming side-view mirrors with integrated signal lighting. The seller notes a small blemish in one of the doors with a photo included in the gallery. The Carfax report lists no accidents or other damage reported.
This S600 features OEM staggered 18” wheels measuring 18x8.5” and 18x9” respectively. Continental Extreme Contact tires are mounted and measure 245/45 in the front and 265/40 in the rear with 2018 date codes shown. The car is equipped with ABC suspension and recently received new ABC front struts along with an ABC service.
The cabin shows Ash Leather (578) covering the seats and door cards with Alcantara accenting the headliner. Burl Walnut veneer adorns the center console, dashboard, door cards, steering wheel, and shift knob. Amenities include Dynamic heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, four-zone automatic climate control, Keyless-Go, Parktronic, electric rear roller blinds, and Bose audio. Unlike the v8-powered examples, this S600 shows stitched leather upper and lower hides along the doors and dashboard. The seller notes the air bladders in the front seats will work intermittently.
The wood and leather-trimmed steering wheel is heated and frames a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature and fuel level along with multifunction displays controlled by buttons mounted to the steering wheel. The digital odometer indicates just over 18k original miles. The included Carfax report shows a mileage discrepancy under the last owner due to the DMV listing the car as “mileage exempt” by default due to the age of the car.
The twin-turbocharged 5.5-liter M275 V12 was factory rated at 493 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a 722.6 five-speed automatic transmission. The included Carfax report shows some service history including some dealer servicing. Additionally, in preparation for the sale, this S600 received new ABC struts up front, a new PSE pump, and an ABC service.
The car is offered by the selling dealer out of Darien, Wisconsin with factory literature, two keys, and a clean Massachusetts title.
We finally feel the W220 cars are startring to feel comfrtable in their own skin and it still rings true that few things radiate driving pleasure more than a twin-turbo V12-powered flagship S-Class. These cars were built to be as comfortable as possible while maintaining the quietest, smoothest, and most isolated ride yet still giving the driver the impression the Autobahn could be tamed at 160+ miles per hour without spilling an espresso. The idea of rapid comfort and unparalleled luxury has been the winning recipe for the S-Class as long as it’s existed but Mercedes seemed to find a memorable combination in the later V12-poweered W220's. Low mileage facelift models have become highly sought after and 12-cylinder examples with special order notes are leading the pack. This example oozes classic design and spec with paint and options. This highly optioned S600 shouldn't be missed by those seeking a modern classic S-Class.

Wow, this should have been double what it didn't sell for. These are such undervalued cars.

This is a heck of a car for the money. A 65 variant would be 3 times the current bid and this one is really just a tune away. Don't pass this one up!

Final day! Please let me know if there are any questions as we wind down!
What a nice spec S600! Poor man's S65; just an ECU tune away from 65 power and torque with the benefit of much cheaper brake replacement parts. S600 is the way to go for luxury of a sledgehammer in a velvet glove.
@Benica. It was recorded that way in error. The title is not branded currently. The miles are believed to be actual and are exempt anyway as the car is older than a 2011 at this point!
What a nice looking S class!
The car Fax shows, or reports "not actual mileage" it looks to me like someone checked the incorrect box when titling the car recently. Any other solution, is the title branded?
You guys find cars in the strangest colors. I love it. The W220 looks killer in red.
