This 2005 Mercedes-Benz S500 was delivered new in Japan. Over the last 3 years, the car spent time in Dubai with the seller before being exported to Saudi Arabia. Finished in Obsidian Black (197) over Anthracite Exclusive Leather (571), power is provided by a 5.0-liter V8 mated to a five-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Factory equipment includes parktronic, a heated steering wheel, COMAND w/navigation, electric rear roller blind, bi-xenon headlights, burl wood trim, heated front & rear seats, 4-zone automatic climate control, and Bose audio. Recent service within the last year includes new valve cover gaskets along with regular oil changes every 6 months according to the seller regardless of mileage. Now with only 17k kilometers (~10k miles) from new, this 2005 S500 is offered by the seller in Saudi Arabia with one key, the original spare and tool kit, export documents, and a clean Dubai title.
The exterior is finished in Obsidian Black (197) and features a power tilt/slide glass sunroof, Bi-Xenon headlamps, heated headlamp washers, integrated turn signals on the side mirrors, and chrome trim along the beltline of the car. The car retains all original glass and a Yanase sticker is shown on the rear glass. The exterior presents very well with no major blemishes noted. The Japanese export documents show a 5A rating meaning like-new condition.
Factory-optioned 18” five-spoke wheels are fitted with Pirelli P-Zero tires measuring 245/45 front and 265/40 rear and show 2013 date codes. Airmatic suspension is standard equipment offering adjustable ride height while the Adaptive Damping system provides adjustable stiffness. The front brake calipers are Mercedes-Benz branded with drilled rotors.
The cabin is trimmed in Anthracite Exclusive Leather (571) with matching carpets, doorcards, and leather-wrapped dash, while Burl Walnut wood trim lines the center console, dashboard, and door panels. The leather surfaces and wood present in excellent condition. Both front seats are heated and offer 14-way power adjustability. The rear seats are also heated. Additional interior amenities include 4-zone automatic climate control, cruise control, a Bose audio system, COMAND w/navigation, and a power rear window sunshade. The seller notes the soft-close door function is currently inoperative.
The leather and wood-wrapped steering wheel frames a 260-kph speedometer along with a 6k-rpm tachometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. Digital instrumentation includes an outside temperature sensor, a digital clock and a digital odometer which shows just 17k kilometers (~10k miles).
This W220 is powered by a 5.0-liter M113 V8 engine which is factory rated for 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. The seller reports new valve cover gaskets within the last year, along with regular oil changes regardless of mileage. Some prior records are included with the Japanese export documents.

Thank Natheer .. I guess reserve not met, If the paperwork can be guaranteed through RTA in Dubai then I will be interested in counter offer after the highest bidder@babtainy In addition to shipping the car to you.@babtainy I can complete all procedures through RTA Dubai.@babtainy The price for a full container differs from the price for the car alone. You can ship it alongside other cars in the same container, which significantly reduces the cost.@CTBenz I don't have an exact figure, but I chose the same shipping rate as for the Gulf-to-US route- around $3,000-$4,000@CTBenz Send a container recently to Savannah from Kuwait $20K.$21,500 bid placed by @SriMoh

Another question, on the A/C, what’s the minimum degree. I have gulf specs and it goes down to 13 degrees .. In the pictures is shows 19. So I’m assuming the minimum is 16Question on the paperwork, so how the sale will be done while holding UAE export paperwork? What if I’m planning to take it to Kuwait? Can specially, the export from UAE is under your name, or should it be registered in Saudi, then exported again to Kuwait?@mbzman53. It’s not worth it, Unless it’s 2030. Multiple changes are required (listed in the US Import page). meanwhile, if it’s 25 years old, it will be suitableIf I bought this car it would need to be imported to the USA and that may be a problem with the DOT. Does anyone have any insight into importing a non USA spec car into the country with the intent of registering and driving it? Plus I am wondering what the tariffs would be to import this vehicle. It is a consideration I have before bidding on this extremely clean car.$6,000 bid placed by @60ask
