"A wonderful car that offers extreme comfort, driving pleasure, and power."

Description

Mercedes' finest and most expensive car of its time. This well-maintained model was sold new in Sweden. The current owner has had the car since 2017. The Mercedes has been part of the owner's private collection and has therefore not been driven much during their ownership. The car is well-cared for and has been meticulously maintained. It is equipped with summer tires that have good tread depth. The Mercedes starts easily, and the engine sounds as it should, with a hint of the power it holds. The car is fine as it is, but it could be improved with an inspection at the vehicle testing center. The last inspection was performed in 2017. When the Mercedes was added to the collection, it was serviced and has not been driven many kilometers since.

Facts about the model

The Mercedes-Benz W220 was the fourth generation of the S-Class, replacing the W140 S-Class after the 1998 model year. The W220 was available with a range of engine options, including diesel, gas, and petrol engines in V6, V8, or V12 configurations. Compared to its predecessor, the W220 had slightly smaller external dimensions but offered greater interior volume, especially in long-wheelbase versions, and slightly less cargo space. Production of the W220 began on August 13, 1998, with the production of the C215 coupé following in 1999. A total of 484,683 units of the 220 series were produced, slightly more than the production total of the W140. Production ended in late 2005, when the W220 was replaced by the W221 S-Class and the C215 was replaced in 2006 by the C216 CL-Class.

The W220 was available with more engine options than the W126 or W140. The range began with a smaller 2.8L 197 hp (147 kW) V6 engine. Very popular was the 3.2L 224 hp (167 kW) V6, followed by a 3.7L V6 with 245 hp (183 kW). The S500 was powered by a 5L V8 with 302 hp (225 kW). The W220 was the first generation of the S-Class where an automatic transmission was standard on all models. Initially, all cars had the 5-speed 5G-Tronic transmission, but after 2003 (2004 in the USA), the S 430 and S 500 were offered with the new 7-speed 7G-Tronic transmission.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
