Mercedes Benz S 600 L W140 (1996)

Leonard Deppen

Kickdown's Take

by Leonard Deppen

The W140 is considered the last S-Class to have been engineered without regard to cost, and the S 600 L—with its 6.0-liter V12 and 394 PS—represents the pinnacle of the model series. This dark blue example with dark gray leather is in excellent condition and comes with a full service history, a grade 2 inspection report, and an “H” license plate. A heated, power-adjustable rear seat, auxiliary heater, and sliding glass sunroof ensure the highest level of comfort. Well-preserved 12-cylinder models from the W140 series are highly sought-after classics. A supremely comfortable ride for fans of the big star!
