Congratulations and welcome back to the W140 family!! The car looks great and hopefully the pictures do it justice.

That is one stunning car! Congratulations. It is only the second S500 I've seen with ADS. My ratty old S500 had it and it was remarkable. Now I have a very nice S420, but I still miss the driving experience of that ADS system. If your experience goes like mine I think you'll find noticeably more power from the 500 than your 400, although you may may be jaded considerably by the 550.

It's gorgeous. I'm trying to find a low mileage example myself. Congratulations!

can i ask what did this car sell for?
|
amazingly beautiful

Very nice, it cannot look better and the engine compartment like new. I really love those wheels and the grill, that's my next purchase!

Mike in ABQ And no, I am not jaded because of the S550. In fact, quite the opposite. Let me share my story from yesterday - I was going out of town and I use the S550 for long trips. On my way out of town I had a flat (third time in 2 years!). The high performance tires are a wreck (although covered my warranty). I had to come back home, drop off the S550, and take the S500! I drove 250 miles, and it was the first time I had taken the S500 out. Let me tell you, I can trust the S500 to always work from a mechanical perspective than I do the S550. I absolutely love my fully loaded S550 for the myriad safety and comfort features, but performance on the W140 is reliable. On my old 400SEL, I never had a flat for the entire period of 13 years I had it. So, I am beginning to believe that on a long trip the S500 may outperform the S550, simply because the S550 doesn't have a spare and the run flat tires need to be replaced before you can continue on your trip. |

The AMG wheels make the car more sporty. And I really like the grille - makes it look clearly more imposing than the standard W140 (non-600) grille. |
This S500 is my new dream car, even over any newer mercedes models. I love a proper blue leather interior
|
Well done 400!
Do you know what the reserve was?I was thinking of selling my '95 s500 for an LS430 but after reading the article i'm reminded of how much i loved driving that car
