2001 Mercedes-Benz S500

Description

It's time to look like a million bucks for under $10K. With only 71,200 original miles, this 2001 Mercedes S500 is the top-of-the-line German luxury with thundering performance and subtle good looks that delivers a driving experience unlike anything you've had before.

Big German sedans always look best in precious metal colors, so the factory Gold Mist paint is a true gem. Of course that's also because Mercedes has always been one of the best at applying multi-stage paints that keep their luster for decades. With an original sticker price right around the six-figure mark, this car was built to last. That's why the panels retain their precision gaps and the doors shut with that authoritative Mercedes 'THUNK'. Without question, this car makes a statement and it's impossible to not be impressed with the amount of quality that you get for this low price.

The old adage is that an S-Class is the most advanced car on the road, so even when one is a few years old, you still feel quite modern in comfort. It's seen in the long list of luxury features that includes a powerful LED entertainment/stereo system that still sounds phenomenal today. Real burled walnut trim was one of several optional trims available and it's so glossy and smooth that you can't resist touching it. The power leather bucket seats are infinitely adjustable, so it's not problem getting comfortable enough for cross-country cruises. Plus, the S-Class' legendary the back seat space offers enough room for full sized adults to stretch out on long road trips. You also get automatic climate control, power everything, cruise control, electro-luminescent instruments, keyless entry, and a sunroof. Modern comfort also means modern luxury with front airbags, side airbags, and anti-lock brakes.

The horsepower wars that were in full swing in '01 meant this S500 was packing 302 hp and 339 lb-ft torque. Nail the throttle and this big German sedan leaps forward in an intoxicating mix that is equal parts Rolls-Royce and Hemi 'Cuda. It's a legendary overbuilt engine with so few miles (averaging less than 5,000 per year,) that the full package seems perfectly broken-in for many reliable mile to come. Thanks to careful maintenance, this one runs and drives like it should. The five-speed automatic transmission gives you the flexibility to easily kickdown a gear for acceleration or cruise all day in the highway. Because this one was built to take on the Autobahn, the all-independent suspension includes an air ride system that automatically adjust the car's attitude. Plus, all of Mercedes-Benz's various electronic assistance systems make this big car feel very sure-footed under any conditions. Power steering keeps this one comfortable even at high speeds, and the four-wheel disc brakes are massive enough to scrub triple-digit speeds repeatedly without fading.

Rarely do you get opportunity to eat Kobe beef at hamburger prices. You can pick up upper class luxury for below economy car money. Best of all, you don't even have to pay us extra to keep your secret about this deal of the decade. Call today!!!
