Oh that's a bummer. Thank you to everyone for all of the great comments, and of course for all of the bids. The owner has decided if the reserve was not met he would be happy to keep the car. We were very very close, maybe we can make a deal? 

We have people who bought v12 cars from us who still send us their cars from all over

Don't forget, if there is anything service wise you want done, the guys who worked for Bruce and now work with me are all certified Benz techs and we can have anything you like done at a fraction of the dealer prices

Okay okay.... If the car sells and you come pick it up at the farm, I can't throw Lucy into the deal but I'll let her slobber on you. Hows that for a throw in? 135 pound Bull Mastiff slobber? You can let her ride in the car if you like too, but bring a rag. 

We're very close, I'd love to see this sell. The owner is a great guy and I would like to see it go for him. 

Bruce was the 5th ranked goalie where we only had spots for 2 on the varsity and 2 on the JV. Our Varsity backup went down in the pre season and all of us on the Varsity team were buddies with Bruce and lobbied to get him on the Varsity as the back up. Our starter was a standout in Minn, he was doing a PG year, we figured Bruce would never get into a game. Well our starter got suspended for a game and Bruce had to play. We were diving in font of shots to protect him, trying to earn the win for him. We came up short. He was so well liked on the team we were still happy for him.

Bruce was a goalie, which would explain his sense of humor. We played our last game together a few months before he passed. 

@abutterer we all miss him, he was a good dude. We went back 40 years. We played hockey in Prep School together, class of 1983. Jump into the bidding. This is a car Bruce and I sold to the current owner. 

Hey I still have to feed my dogs and one is a 135lb Bull Mastiff. Lucy gets angry if 7:30 comes and she's not eaten.

@abutterer naa I have to keep my dogs. I was over at Bruce's place two weeks ago to say hello to his family and his beloved Carmine is still guarding the house. Bruce ran a great auction, he was a really funny guy with his comments. 

BTW this is a former bruce_m car for those who knew him. Bruce was my business partner and long time friend. He was a legend in the Benz world

Home stretch here. This is a wonderful, well serviced S600. Take a look at the VMI report that's included, no stone was left unturned in the care of this car. On top of that we just replaced the SAI pump and lines, flushed the ABC system, replaced the ABC level links, replaced the trans carrier, did a full A service. This car is just fantastic. I'd love to see it go to a new owner!

We're in the final day now. I would love to see this beautiful S600 go to a good home. Its a wonderful car. Fully serviced, turnkey ready to roll. These v12 cars are the pinnacle of the S class lineup. Effortlessly cruise at high high speeds for hours at a time, or blow off unsuspecting sports cars at the stop light. 

@MDdriven I tried to get a shot of the pads but the spokes are too close together and their depth prevents being able to get a good angle through them. The brakes are easily more than 50% remaining according to my shop. 

@MDdriven I'd be happy to. I can say this. My crew has been through this car twice. If it needed anything at all we'd have done it. 

@E350mania I'm in Newtown PA and I'd be happy to arrange shipping anywhere. 

Thanks for looking at my auction for this fantastic S600. I love these cars, the v12 twin turbo is just a jewel of a motor. Massive torque, gobs of power, runs all day long a high high rates of speed, with that special feel of German engineering. This one is bittersweet, it’s a @bruce_m special. Bruce and I sold this car to the current owner the last time around on BAT. He shipped it down to me so I could sell it for him, and have our guys go through the car.

In prep for the sale, the same guys who worked for Bruce went through the entire car. All of them are certified Benz techs. They replaced, the SAI pump and lines (a big job), replaced the coil packs and ignition box, flushed the ABC system, replaced the trans mount, did a fresh oil change, and on and on. We wanted this car to be turnkey. Also look at the VMI report provided. This car has always been dealer serviced and clearly done with an open checkbook. Full disclosure, the dynamic upper side bolsters on the drives seat do not function. I could not justify ripping apart the seats to diag the issue. Quite frankly I have put a few hundred thousand miles on the 2 W221 diesel S Classes I have owned and never once had any desire to use that function. Everything else works as it should.

These cars are just so understated with the only clues to just how great they are being the v12 badge behind the front wheels on the quarters and the S600 badge on the rear. However, when you bury your right foot, it will leave just about every other big sedan in the dust. I shudder to think of how many cows gave their lives for the massive amount of beautiful leather all over this beast.

As always, if you have any questions, or would like a specific picture, please post em up or hit the “contact seller” button and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.
