For sale is my mechanically sound Mercedes W220 S Class:
S320 Petrol with 5 Speed Automatic Transmission
2000 - Private Registration - IIJ 1311
Tanzanite Blue with Mushroom Electric Heated Leather
Low Mileage at only 102750 and in good condition for the year
MOT Expires 24th January 2017
Located in Bracknell, Berkshire, RG12.
Please call me 07984 395400
I purchased this as a stop gap daily whilst my S55 was getting some repairs carried out - now surplus to requirements, I genuinely have no need for it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'M112' - 3.2 Litre V6 - 18v - 224 BHP - 30+ MPG
Only 102k Miles
Mechanically perfect - engine and gearbox are both spot on. I have used this to go up and down to Newcastle a few times, and it's never missed a beat.
No overheating, engine gets to the correct operating temperature and sits there all day. No fluid leaks. Uses no excess oil or coolant.
Gear changes are as they should be - smooth and effortless. Sports mode enages fine, and she can lift her skirt when needed.
Returns a genuine 30+ mpg on long runs (see photo).
Suspension is tight and solid, with no knocks or bangs. It doesn't seem to raise up and down, but the compressor is pumping. There is no sagging, even if left for long periods of time. It stays level, so best to leave as is (I just spent a fortune on my S55 suspension, as it would sag overnight). Brakes are also good, with no shuddering.
Tyres are all matching Nexens, with reasonable tread all round.
Specification includes: Full Mushroom Perforated Leather, Electric Front Seats, Heated Front Seats, Sat Nav, Premium Audio System, Double Glazed Windows, Electric Glass Sunroof, Digital Dual Zone Climate Control, Airmatic Suspension with ABC, Auto Wipers, Auto Headlights, Electric Windows, Electric Heated Door Mirrors, Electrically Adjustable Steering Column, Cruise Control, Multi-Function Steering Wheel, Front & Rear Vanity Mirrors, Power Steering, Remote Central Locking, Alarm & Immobiliser, 16" Alloy Wheels, Matching Nexen Tyres, Spare Wheel, Full Tool Kit, etc...
Bodywork is in very good condition for the year. There is no visible rust or rot apart from a tiny blister on the bottom of the driver / rear passenger door, which is quite rare for an early W220 S Class. Marks, blemishes as to be expected and stone chips on the front. The paint has lifted on a couple of patches, but nothing major and generally a very presentable car.
Interior is also in good condition, with no major rips or tears. Would benefit from a clean, as previous owner had young kids. Driver's seat plastic based has cracked (common issue), parking sensors are temperamental and there is a crack in the windscreen which will need addressing for the MOT (usually around £70 on most insurance policies). Speedo only works until 40mph, and seems to get stuck there. Not a problem, as there is a digital display on the dash (probably more accurate and you do find yourself sticking to the speed limits).
Private Registration IIJ 1311 stays with the car.
I have enjoyed wafting up and down the motorways in this, and if I am perfectly honest, it's a nicer car to drive than the S55 (which always feels like it's on a leash). Smoother and quieter, it feels more dignified and just eats up the miles. There aren't many cars that glide aswell as an old S Class (XJ Jags are an excpetion, but unfortunateley they are not as well built!).
I looked at a few before buying this (and I have had most variants of the W220 over the years). I believe it is one of the cleanest ones available, with the lowest miles, for this sort of money. You can even sell the registration plate to get some money back, if you so wish.
Comes with the newer style Remote Key Fob, MOT Certificate, a few Bills and Receipts and the V5 Green Slip (Logbook should arrive any day now, but a full receipt will be given in the interim).
Cash on Collection / Instant Bank Transfer Only. No Swaps or Part Exchange.
Sold as seen, with no warranty given or implied. Viewings and test drives are most welcome in accordance with my availability. No large groups, and please come at a decent hour where you can clearly see the car. I'm too busy to entertain timewasters, silly offers or scammers.
