FS: 1998 S600 after 8 years of ownership

I retire in 7 months and have replaced our 1998 S600 with a Bentley Arnage. It has ~58K miles, meticulously maintained and preserved. Garaged at home and work. We even has the original sticker price! This car is 1 of 167 in the USA and a truley unbelievable car. We are the original owners of the car and the MSRP new was $138K : It has the factory AMG wheels (staggered 18X9, 18X10) with the optional MB painted centers. The tires have 90% tread left. No leaks, noises, just perfection.








We are asking ~$34K or best offer. It goes on eBay this weekend.

Thanks,
Abe

Thanks!

My god that car looks good, real Mercedes-Benz craftsmanship is clearly present. Look at how solid and rugged the interior looks.

Thanks. Yes, we put the curb in the garage. It is low enough that it does not rub any of the cars.

I wish I could keep both, but I need the garage space. If I can't get good money for the S600 I will sell my SRT-8 Charger and keep the Bentley and S600.

Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
Bump for a great car. If only I had more cash.
