$45,000 for that price should have a $30,000 cash rebate. KBB lists the retail on that car at $19600.00 with 8000 miles on it.

If there is no rebate then the owner is smoking something funny.

Something else that bothers me. "The original tires are in excellent condition" I would think the original tires would be dry rotted. Or with so few miles on the car have a flat spot on them.

Things that scream Double check this. Would want a carfax report. Instr cluster could have been replaced.....

GOOD NEWS - CARFAX Certified History - Guaranteed!

CARFAX Talking CarTM
The story of this 1995 MERCEDES BENZ S420 (WDBGA43E2SA220004) according to our interpretation of the information reported to CARFAX:

It has had no minor or moderate accidents reported to CARFAX.
It has had no DMV-reported total loss events, like a major accident, fire or flood.

It was not reported to a DMV as a Manufacturer Buyback (LEMON).
Its basic warranty has expired. You may want to discuss an extended warranty with your dealer.
Go to the Detailed Vehicle History for the complete history and a glossary of terms.

45k ...loool

45,000 for a 95 s420 loool...

Few month ago, in california. A dealer had a clean 1999 s600 <<< the ultimate year and model w140....with only 15k, and was owned by an nba player who played with the hornet...and he sold it for 40k........

You can get a 97 s420 with 55k or so, for around 19...if you do a good search..

Talking PERFECT S420!!!

I am the owner of the S420 vehicle on Ebay...The car is ABSOLUTLY PERFECT. Not a single Flaw!!! It was kept in a climate controlled garage and started every 2-3 weeks! The Car comes with all records and the Paint is ALL ORIGINAL! The steering wheel was changed out to a wood/leather one for cosmetic purposes! Original will be included as well. I am only selling to make room for a new SL.

The Reserve is really LOW!!! So if you are looking for the Newest W140 this is IT!

The reserve cant be that low. The KBB on the car is $19,600 and the bid on the car is at $20,100 and still says reserve not met.

45K!!!!! I'd only pay 20K at the most. Too bad he didn't buy a 600SEL and kept it in the garage for 12 years at 10 miles or so.:p Wonder what the effects of that are? Hey FA22, how come you never drove it that often?
