Congratulations! Looks like it's in really nice shape. Is that a short wheel base model???

Thanks! Overall it is very nice, however, the rims have curb rash that will need to be addressed and the rear bumper is cracked unfortunately.

Yes it is a SWB - Canada specific S450 4 matic.

I thought so too before I went to see it in person but it does have a gloss coat on it. Interesting colour wood though, haven't seen it before.

You guys in Canada get all the interesting (nicer?) variations for the S-Class. I remember seeing a 1998 S500 (W140) with like 55K miles for sale that had spent most of its life in Burnaby, BC (Vancouver). At one point, it had gone through the required mods (odometer) to meet US importation standards when the owner brought it to the States. Anyway, the dashboard had the stitching around the edges and the leather interior was two tone color just like the V12 S600 interior back in the day. Not sure why Mercedes does that with the Canadian vehicles?

Nice car! I constantly marvel at mine. Yesterday, I was sitting in the back seat of mine, blown away with the leg room. I'm 6'5" and my knees don't touch the seat in front of me---which was almost all the way back.
