This 2004 Mercedes-Benz E500 4MATIC Wagon is finished in Everest Green Metallic (816) over a Pebble (205) Nappa leather interior and powered by a 5.0-liter M113 V8 paired with a five-speed automatic transmission with SpeedShift. Equipment on this heavily-optioned example includes a factory Airmatic air suspension, AMG 5-spoke aluminum wheels, power-adjustable heated and cooled seats with dynamic bolster function for driver & passenger, Keyless-Go, Bi-Xenon headlights, memory package, elegance package, four-zone automatic climate control, through-loading feature, left & right rear door sunblinds, factory Bluetooth telephone, an electric/tilt sunroof, tire pressure monitoring system, 6 disc CD changer, Harmon Kardon stereo, COMAND w/navigation, wood steering wheel, heated screen washer system, heated rear glass, power cargo cover, retractable cargo net/dog barrier, power rear liftgate, stowage tank behind the rear seat backrest, and a rear-facing third-row bench seat. Recent service within the past year includes new engine mounts, transmission mounts, new front axles and new front air shocks. This S211 shows just under 119k miles is now offered with a clean Carfax report, factory literature, a Vehicle Master Inquiry (VMI) report, OEM Mercedes-Benz crossbars/carrier & Ski/Surf Rack, OEM Mercedes-Benz all-weather Hex-Mats, three keys, and a clean Montana title.
The exterior is finished in a rare shade of Everest Green Metallic (816) which was fully ceramic coated with a five-year Gtechniq ceramic coating in 2021. Features include bi-xenon headlights, fog lights, a glass sunroof, roof side rails, OEM crossbars, OEM ski/surf rack, and a rear wiper. No accidents or other damage are listed on the included Carfax report and paint is believed to be entirely original.
Factory 17″ double-spoke wheels were replaced with staggered 18” AMG five-spoke wheels measuring 245/40 up front and 265/35 in the rear. The AMG wheels wear Michelin Pilot Sport A/S3 tires that were added in 2018. The car is equipped with an Adaptive Damping System and a self-leveling Airmatic suspension which can be raised or lowered 2+ inches from inside the cabin. The front air shocks were replaced with Arnott units in 2019 and both front axles/CV units were replaced in 2020. Both rear air shocks were also replaced at the MB dealer in 2015 according to the VMI. The leak-free suspension reportedly does not settle or drop during extended parking periods. The suspension can be further tuned to Sport 1 or Sport 2 settings which lowers the car between .6 and .8 inches while stiffening the suspension and steering for spirited driving.
The interior is trimmed in Pebble (205) Nappa leather with burl wood accents on the dashboard, steering wheel, center console, and doors. Interior amenities include Keyless-Go, power-adjustable heated & cooled seats with memory, Dynamic bolster seats for the driver and front passenger, keyless entry with push-button start, through-loading feature, left & right rear door sunblinds, factory Bluetooth telephone, tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS), 6 disc CD changer, Harmon Kardon stereo system, COMAND w/navigation, heated screen washer system, heated rear glass, automatic/power-operated cargo cover, retractable cargo net/dog barrier, power rear liftgate, stowage tank behind the rear seat backrest, and a rear-facing third-row bench seat and four-zone automatic climate control. The original Mercedes-branded pebble carpet mats as well as OEM all weather mats are included with the sale. The alarm/keyless entry siren was replaced at the Mercedes dealer in 2021.
The multi-function steering wheel fronts factory instrumentation including an analog clock, a 160-mph speedometer, a 7k-rpm tachometer, and digital gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The dashboard houses the climate controls, an infotainment screen, a 6-disc CD changer, a pop-out storage cubby, and a lockable glovebox. The digital odometer shows approximately 119k miles since new.
The cargo area includes the through-loading feature and can be accessed via a power tailgate and contains a fold-down rear-facing bench seat with cupholders, automatic/power-operated cargo cover, retractable cargo net/pet barrier, rear stowage tank behind the second-row seats and hideaway rear-facing third row seats with cupholder and headrest.
The 5.0-liter M113 V8 is paired with a five-speed automatic transmission with SpeedShift as well as 4MATIC all-wheel drive. The M113 V8 was rated at 302 hp and 339 ft-lbs of torque when new. Both the engine and transmission mounts were replaced in 2020. An oil change was performed in preparation for the sale.

The Carfax report indicates no accidents or damage, shows linear mileage updates and over 20 dealer service visits. Walk-around and driving videos are viewable below.
This one really has it all... For three brief years in the mid-2000s, Mercedes-Benz made what may be the perfect “do-it-all” car that offered reliable M113 V8 power (topping 300+ horses), comfortable seating for seven, cargo room sufficient for a month-long vacation and all-wheel drive traction to power that vacation into the Rockies: the 2004-06 E500 4Matic wagon offered everything a buyer could reasonably want in a single vehicle household and did it with classic, round-headlight Mercedes styling. While some argue that the AMG variant of this V8 wagon setup trumps the E500 – and it does in terms of performance and aggressive looks – the repair bills (or just the brake rotor replacement bills) that come along with W211 AMG ownership are enough to keep this E500 running for half a decade or more. And therein lies the question: Why did Mercedes stop making a non-AMG version of the S211 E-class wagon after 2006? While we may not ever know the answer, we know that finding one of these V8 AWD family haulers in pristine condition (and a rare color combination) like this one is becoming incredibly difficult in today’s wagon-thirsty marketplace. Coupled with the right roof rack accessories, the right preventative maintenance records and a VMI detailing all of the other mechanical repair this seven-seater has received over the years, this becomes the perfect platform for anyone’s daily duties or awesome adventures. The only non-AMG path into a V8 Mercedes-Benz wagon is through the 2004-06 E500 Estate. So, act fast if you need an adventure-mobile for the summer. They don’t come around in this condition (or color) very often and the market has long-since noticed their appeal.

@Smithreal Thanks. The keyless go works perfectly on the shifter (for start/ignition) but the front door handles were only sparsely responding to the keyless entry function. I was able to get them working a bit better this spring but safe to say they’re only intermittently responsive. I almost never use the keyless (I prefer the fob) so apologies for overlooking/ not clarifying that previously. Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you - Thanks!In the 4/15/21 service record it states keyless go not working properly and dealer recommended replacement of both left hand and right hand door handles due to them being faulty. This work wasn’t done. Is the keyless go still not working due to this?$12,250 bid placed by @tmb560

@MBCLE Thanks. The ad states that the tires were added in 2018, not the wheels. Apologies if that wasn’t clear to you in the text. The AMG wheels were added under previous ownership and were on the car when I purchased it. I didn’t bother to ask the prior seller which year he added the wheels but I can reach out to him and ask if its something you’d like to know prior to bidding. Yes, the car did previously have PPF and I had it professionally removed prior to installing the Gtechniq ceramic coating in 2021. Finally, I don’t know what reported “malfunction” you’re referring to or from where you’re sourcing that information but happy to assist if you can provide more info. The car has no “malfunctions”, codes or other needs and has been an excellent daily driver for me. I have no doubt the next owner will enjoy it as much as I have. I hope that helps – Thanks!The description states that the wheels were added in 2018, however there are pictures of the vehicle from when it was for sale in June of 2020 with the OEM wheels. Can you please clarify the history of the wheels / source of information? It also shows after searching that the vehicle previously had PPF and 1 malfunction. Were you the owner that removed the PPF and do you know what malfunction was fixed? Thank you$11,500 bid placed by @Beckermachine

@Raredan Thanks! It truly is a great example and in impeccable shape. The recent ceramic coating really makes the paint look incredible with a deep, glossy luster. The only imperfections I could think of would be a couple of cargo loading "love marks" on the bumper (see photo #30), 1-2 parking lot door dings and some minor creasing (but not wear/tear) on the driver’s bolster bottom (see photo #110). Yes, I’m available to show the car this coming week if you’d like to set something up. I can be reached via the “message seller” button in the top right corner of the listing. I’m traveling for the holiday but please feel free to reach out to me directly through the direct message function. Thanks and good luck to all bidders!Drop Dead Gorgeous Merc! That said, it does have 118k on the clock. Would you please describe any exterior and interior imperfections? Is the car available for inspection?$10,000 bid placed by @Sak92
