This 2006 Mercedes-Benz R500 4MATIC shows California history from new under three owners with 58k miles on the odometer. Finished in Obsidian Black Metallic (197) over Macadamia Leather (204), power is provided by a 5.0-Liter V8 paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission driving all four wheels. Factory equipment includes a panorama glass sunroof, an AMG Sport Package, Bi-Xenon headlamps, power-folding mirrors, Keyless-Go, heated front and second-row seats, three-zone automatic climate control and a Harman/Kardon Logic7 sound system. Modifications consist of an aftermarket head unit, adjustable lowering links, wheel spacers and a Magnaflow resonator. Maintenance performed by the seller included an engine oil change and new air filters. This R500 is now offered for sale by the current owner with a clean Carfax report and a clean California title.
The body is finished in Obsidian Black Metallic (197) and features a factory AMG body kit with sculpted front and rear bumpers, extended side skirts, and dual-exit chrome exhaust tips. Additional features include Bi-Xenon headlamps with Active Curve Illumination, Parktronic parking sensors, power-folding door mirrors, rain-sensing wipers, Keyless-Go, a power tailgate, pop-out rear windows and a panorama glass sunroof. Front and rear facing cameras have been fitted to the car. The seller notes signs of previous touch-up work on the front bumper with a small section that was previously filled. No signs of body damage or rust are present with no accidents appearing on the Carfax report.
The AMG Sport Package included the addition of 19” AMG five-spoke monoblock alloy wheels which are wrapped in a set of Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires measuring 255/50 on all four corners. No signs of curb rash are shown on the wheels. 15mm hubcentric spacers have been fitted with longer lug bolts and the original lug bolts are also included with the car. The Ghost Motorsports lowering links can be adjusted to the factory ride height. In combination with an Adaptive Damping System, the Airmatic suspension offers both adjustable ride height and stiffness.
The interior is trimmed in Macadamia Leather (204) with matching floor mats and polished Burl Walnut wood trim which lines the center console, dash, steering wheel and door panels. The front seats are heated and power adjustable with three-position memory. Additional interior amenities include three-zone automatic climate control, heated second row seats, a power tilt/telescope steering column, a 6-Disc CD changer and an 11-speaker Harman/Kardon Logic7 surround sound system. The seller notes that an Xtrons bluetooth head unit has been fitted to the car and ties into the steering wheel controls. Both the second and third row seats can fold forwards to provide a flat loading floor.
The wood leather steering wheel fronts a 160-mph speedometer, an analog clock, a 7k-rpm tachometer, a fuel gauge and a digital multifunction display. The digital odometer currently shows just 58k miles from new.
This W251 is powered by a 5.0-liter M113 V8 which produces 302 horsepower and 339 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission using a permanent four-wheel drive system with a 50/50 torque split. Maintenance performed under current ownership included an engine oil and oil filter change as well as new air filters. Extensive service history is shown on the Carfax report.
The car shows California registration from new with linear mileage updates and no accidents or damage reports. This 2006 R500 is now offered for sale by the current owner in Livermore, California with a clean Carfax report and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
A start up and walk around have been provided by the seller below.
Coined as the “Grand Sport Tourer” by Mercedes-Benz, the R-Class was a luxury entrant into the growing Minivan segment of the early 2000s which retained all of the usual creature comforts and high standards of your typical Mercedes-Benz while providing a form factor which was tailored to the needs of a growing family. Fitted with the larger 5.0L M113 V8, this R500 came highly optioned with heated front and second row seats, Harman Kardon sound, a panorama sunroof, and many additional luxuries along with the AMG bumpers from the ultra-rare R63 AMG. In combination with a handful of tasteful modifications, this W251 offers the perfect package for those looking for a seven seater that brings a unique touch of luxury. We love the R-Class’ position in today’s marketplace and encourage bargain-minded, forward-looking bidders to jump now before the rest of the pack catches on.

@AMGbane Absolutely!!! This was supposed to replace my wife's current R500 with the AMG package. I outfitted her's with 21'' GL550 AMG rims. The same set up with Ghost Links, the rims are A1644017002 37mm offset 21x10 275/40/21 no rub, direct bolt on. (Just FYI if you decide to complete the transformation)
