Live your dream and drive this jewel 1999 S500!

My W140 1999 S500 Sedan, is one of the best cars I have owned, is a dream to drive and very good on gas despite his big powerful engine. Parts are not crazy expensive but not cheap either, but the car is bullet prof if you maintained him correctly. leave him OEM or modd him with HR sport spring + nice 18'' set of wheels and you will have a modern classic beauty. Ride comfort is amazing and acceleration and handling will surprise you, if you want a car for the weekends, this is the choice! Update: this car just doesn't break down, what a solid car, after driven more that 10k is still solid.

S420 - The only car

First true luxury car. Fun to drive. The acceleration is outstanding for a car of the size and weight. Great car for traveling. Noise level is very minimum compared to other vehicles. There is plenty of leg room for a 6'2" 245 lb guy. Service record has been excellent. The only major item to fail was covered by a warranty plan. I would purchase another if I had the chance. This one will be in my stable for a long time.

Best Mercedes I have owned

1998 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S320 SWB 4dr Sedan

This is my fifth, and best Mercedes, over the past 20 years. Purchased used with 30,000 miles on it. The quiet, smooth ride is great, and the power of the 320 engine is remarkable. Fuel economy is excellent, hitting 25 MPG on trips, and 21 MPG in town. Features are outstanding, especially the bose sound system. Nothing has gone wrong with the car in the 36,000 miles I have driven it. A truly fine automobile.

1998 S 420: 306,000 miles to date ( November 2022 ) on the odometer. A joy to drive. Comfortable, spacious, responsive, agile and solid. Distinctive styling. Many have said to me that they wish they did not part with theirs.

This is luxury. I have driven many cars and this is the finest car I have ever driven. only 750 sold in the US between 1995-1999. so if you get one it is one of an elite group.
