Hello, I am new to this S Class forum as I have just traded my '96 SL320 for a '99 S500.
I am so pleased with the car which gets delivered this Friday. It is Obsidian Black with black leather. It has lots of standard equipment as the 500 has a bit more as standard, plus heated front & rear seats and massaging seats i believe.
It has the usual Command with Sat Nav but I don't think TV tuner is present. Is this something Mercedes et all, can fit to a second hand car?
Any thoughts, comments welcome regarding anything to do with (my) new S500.
Thanks
Kevin

Congrats! Looks fantastic for a 99....the black on black color combo with 18 inch rims is a winner
. How much did you pay for that bad boy? I'm presuming ~£22 - 26k?

Paid just over £23K for it, is in beautiful condition.
The current S Class shape came out in 1999 on a T plate in the UK. Mine is a late 1999 model on a V plate.

In US the earliest W220 came in a spring 1999 as early 2000 model. Yet back in Europe W220 was on the road for over 6 months by that time.

Thank you for the redundancy, did you read my other post correcting myself?
