2002 Mercedes-Benz S500

Description

You're looking at this one because it's a Mercedes S500 that fits in any budget. But if the affordability of this V8 executive sedan has you curious, then the details will make it downright irresistible.

Silver is a timeless German color. Walk into the Mercedes dealer today, and you'll see displays devoted to elegant but aggressive hue. In fact, this garage-kept and babied 2002 S-Class has been maintained to such a level that the paint is still showroom-worthy. 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 get quite modern comfort. It's seen in the long list of luxury features that includes a powerful LED entertainment/stereo system that still sounds phenomenal today. The Charcoal leather interior is the perfect complementing color to the exterior, and its darker hue means you can even carry the kids without question. Real burled walnut was one of several optional trims available and it's so glossy and smooth that you can't resist touching it. The heated power bucket seats are infinitely adjustable, so it's no 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 luxury also means modern safety with features like front airbags, side airbags, and anti-lock brakes.

The S500's 5.0-liter fuel-injected V8 is the kind of displacement you'd expect in a muscle car, but its 302 hp is engineered to be delivered in a dignified manner worthy of the top Mercedes name. It's a legendary overbuilt engine with so few miles (averaging less than 6,000 per year) that the full package seems perfectly broken-in for many reliable years 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.

It's time to treat the interstates like the Autobahn. This 2002 Mercedes S500 has been kept in top condition to be a thoroughbred, and it has the maintenance records and owner's manual to prove it. So now the fastest way into the executive parking lot is an exceptionally affordable route, too. Call today!!!
