Free Shipping From Arizona: 2000 Mercedes Benz Flagship S500 S-class Black on 2040-cars

Here is a great deal for someone who has always wanted an S-Class Mercedes-Benz.  I fell in love with the 2000-2006 design for the S-Class which is why I ended up finding this one.  I can tell you when I was shopping around for one, I did not want to purchase one with “high miles” on it but after driving one now for a year, I know that these cars are solid and last a very long time.  The transmission on this car is solid along with the engine and will last for many more years and is just a pure joy to drive even on the highway as it averages 20+ miles per gallon.  I am a car enthusiast and baby my cars with whatever they need and always keep on maintenance and then some and have brought this car up to excellent running condition.  I have invested over $4,000.00 in maintenance alone so who ever purchases this car can be guaranteed to a have a car that is in great running condition.  One “weak” spot on these cars is the Airmatic air shocks but this S-Class’s shocks are in excellent condition and do not need any attention whatsoever.  I am deploying at the end of the month and do not want to put this car in storage while I am gone hence the reason I am selling it but there are some projects I wanted to do to have not yet had the time to finish.  I will be listing these on the list of items to perfect the car’s condition if you are a car enthusiast like me.  This was an $88,000.00 originally new and is loaded with most of the options available for this model year which include heated and cooling front seats, front seats also massage, rear seats also heat and cool as well as recline, CD Changer, Navigation System, Moonroof, Tinted windows, Rear A/C and Heater, XM Radio, Electric rear sunshade and electronic rear trunk.

Here are a couple of things to take note: the car does have a salvage title because it was hit in the rear while it was registered in the State of New Jersey.  This has not impacted how the car runs whatsoever, maybe you might be able to have it taken out of salvage status?   Because I am deploying at the end of the month, I am offering as an incentive to whomever purchases the car, free delivery from my garage to yours at the Buy-It-Now price, so I will deliver the car directly to you.   Taking into consideration the cost of gas and mileage, I can only offer free delivery to the western half of the country.  I may consider delivering the car to other states in the Midwest/East coast for an additional fee to cover the costs of getting it to you.  Please contact me if your State is not listed below for free delivery.  Free delivery is offered to anywhere in the following States: 

Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, New Mexico, Texas, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming , Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas and Louisiana.   If you live further east from these states, the extra cost would be for the price of fuel to get to your state will be approximately $200.00 more.  I can give you an exact price if you let me know where you live.

I promise to you that as soon as your payment has cleared, I will be enroute to your location to deliver the vehicle, which will come with a full tank of premium gasoline.

Now, what is wrong with the car?  Nothing keeps the car from operating like it should, but there are a few issues that you should be aware about:

-Dash/Display: It functions but shows a malfunction in the display and the ABS light is on.  After having the ABS system and computer thoroughly checked by an independent Mercedes shop, there is nothing wrong with the ABS system and the display has incorrectly lit the warning light on.  The display will need to be swapped out with another and a check on YouTube will show how easy these displays are to replace with another.

-Front Driver and Passenger Seats- They have tears in them, or more likely cuts.  I was going to swap them out rather than repairing them as I think that would be a more cost efficient option, plus look better.

-Rear Window has crack- There is a crack inside the rear window, this was actually the reason the previous owner was selling the car as the antenna fin was pushed down by a lift in a garage and the end result was a crack in the window.  I never got around to fixing it as it was lower on my priority list given it was okay, just had a cosmetic defect in it. 

-Front Passenger Door: All of the cars close “automatically,” with assistance from an internal air system.  The air hose in the door obviously has a small leak in it as it does not close automatically and that part will need to be replaced or repaired.  The door closes just fine if you manual close it, it just won’t do it automatically like the others.

-There are “typical” scratches found around the car, some chips in the paint can be found.

-Driver side mirror has a crack in it.  The right side does not move and may need to be replaced if it can’t be repaired.

-The trunk current does not open/close on its own because the hose with the air that operates the pump in the trunk is leaking.  The hose would have to be replaced/fixed or the pump itself could be replaced.

I installed the XMradio in the car, which carries a subscription through November 1^st.  The only thing left to do with it would be to hardwire it behind the dash which shouldn’t cost much if you paid someone to do that for you.  Please let me know if I can send you more photos or provide you any other information so I can answer any questions that I can respond promptly.  If you live in Arizona, or are coming through, feel free to inspect and take the car for a test drive if you wish.  Thank you for your time in looking at my listing!
