Hi @jimseeger, thanks for the note and good question. As mentioned in the video description, the SRS light turns off about 2 minutes after the car has been started. Based on my research it's considered a non-critical fault, likely from the seatbelt sensor going out. As the seatbelt still functions as it should and the light goes out, I have left it as is. Please feel free to ask any other questions and, if you're local and interested in seeing the car in person, let me know.
@BoatymcboatfaceThanks for the comment , always nice to hear from you. Wonderful to hear Daimler is interested in keeping these cars alive. Regarding brakes and suspension we have records reflecting brake pressure reservoir replacements in May '18 ($3,328), an Airmatic spring replacement in May '19 ($3,798 in parts), and a steering damper in March of this year ($6,840 in parts); the brake fluid was also flushed a month ago. This of course is in addition to the other service records shown in the gallery. I've inquired into getting the VMI but Mercedes-Benz of San Diego requires in-person presentation of proof of ownership and we're based in Los Angeles.
Hi there, @MercedesDad. I am representing the current owner who has enjoyed this Maybach since 2018 and covered approximately 7k miles. While I can't speak directly for him, I know he's enjoyed the driving experience and still marvels at the 62's unique features, particularly the electrochromic roof. He has also taken excellent care of his beloved Maybach, with over $40k in service receipts (which will be uploaded shortly). I've driven the car a bit over the past few weeks and feel it's just as impressive as it was when introduced. As a current C140 owner and previous W140 owner I'm a big fan of cars that feel special. As those who know know, Maybachs leveraged the W140 platform (hence the V240 chassis designation), as it was more robust than subsequent generations and is therefore better suited for extended wheelbase duty. I reviewed the car as an automotive journalist back when it was new (and MSRPs easily reached $500k), and find its level of engineering and execution of quality impressive to this day. Hope that helps.
@sirmathrocksHi , the electrotransparent roof functionality can be seen in the video above. To jump directly to demonstration, click here: https://youtu.be/VY-Pe4EDTbM?si=4SB1srdVZSiRxFmx&t=204
Very special cars indeed! The partition is great but not for everyone, especially drivers seeking decent legroom. Just ask Tyler Hoovie (of Hoovie’s Garage fame) who mentioned it in one of his videos. Question is @ArmyGuy63, what do you follow your Maybachs with?
Welcome to our 2004 Maybach 62 auction. We’ve prepped this very special model for sale by giving it a thorough detail and going through it mechanically; anything that has needed attention has been addressed. Its twin-turbo 5.5-liter V12 and 5-speed 722.6 transmission function flawlessly, and all comfort features from the electrotransparent roof to the rear entertainment system and the power operated curtains operate as they should. Included are many extras including both keys, 2 Maybach champagne flutes, 2 Maybach tumblers, the original Maybach umbrella, both rear pillows, and both Motorola flip phones. We wouldn’t hesitate to drive this elegant elongated sedan cross country—in fact, we’d love to. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Hello, would you feel confident driving this 300D a couple thousand miles in its current condition, and what would it take to ship the car to Houston, USA? Thanks.
Keep going guys, I've got more than the current bid in service receipts for over last 2 years— let's give this great W140 what it's worth!
Final 30 minutes! Bidders, don’t forget to make sure your payment info is up to date. And a gentle reminder that there’s no need to wait til the buzzer, as the timer resets automatically with another 2 minutes. Cheers.
Thanks @124guy. She’s been babied!
W140s use timing chains, @dengreene, and my understanding is that they'll need replacement anywhere between 100k and 200k depending on oil change frequency. The timing chain has not been replaced under my ownership, and I don't have a record of it previously; I've had several mechanics go over the vehicle and they have not advised replacement (yet), though the new owner might consider it for peace of mind.
Thanks for your bids so far! Still a bit to go to meet reserve, but hoping we can close the gap so this wonderful W140 can find a good home. Please don’t leave your questions til the last minute— I’m eager to answer any inquires that come up.
A walkaround video has been uploaded here: https://youtu.be/J364_716HVA I'll try to shoot a driving video this weekend; meanwhile, please feel free to ask any questions and schedule a test drive if you're in the Los Angeles area!
@waterhazardHi , that work receipt confused me. I haven't seen any evidence of water damage anywhere on the vehicle and there are zero musty smells in the cabin, and the Carfax is clean. The mechanic mentioned it was under the rear seat when he was replacing a sensor under the rear seat , so maybe it was an isolated case of water ingress. Regardless, the vehicle is now clean and everything works (HVAC, soft close, rear antenna masts, etc) apart from the items mentioned in the description.
Sounds good @MBOregon, and yeah, I've got a few Better Half Drive vids in the can I need to edit!
@MBOregonHi there , they won't come with the car, but I can discuss selling them separately if the buyer is interested.
Hello and welcome to my first MB Market auction! I purchased this 400 SEL locally from its original owner, who was selling because she had purchased a V12 S-Class. A woman after my own heart She babied her baby and insisted on only hand washing it, never running it through a car wash—a rule I’ve upheld during my ownership. I’ve addressed every mechanical need I could find (see $8,400 in receipts), and apart from the date codes on the tires I’d be fully confident driving this cross-country. I’m sad to see this amazing sedan go, but with another 140 and three other cars in the garage it’s time to find the next caretaker. Please don’t hesitate to throw any questions my way, and I’m happy to arrange a test drive and/or PPI for serious parties. Thanks and happy bidding. Cheers, Basem Wasef
