It is of no consequence, likely a sensor that does not affect SRS functionality. Please let me know if you have any other questions, thanks.June 9th, 2025 at 12:27pm ESTBritalia (0) 0Hello, can you please advise regarding the red light on the dash in video 2, the driving video. Maybe the parking brake is partially on? Thx. Ken June 8th, 2025 at 4:12pm ESTB_R_W (19) Seller 2Happy Sunday all, thanks for your interest so far in my S600. A quick update as we approach the close of auction. While waiting for the center console to receive its new veneer a few items came up which I'm addressing. After being in storage for a few weeks I noticed a wobble at around 50 mph. Wheel balancing didn't solve it so we've ordered a set of control arms (Lemforder I believe) which should take care of it; they arrive the middle of next week. When the shifter was reassembled and the console reinstalled, it appears that the metal piece that links B and 2 (at the lower most point of the gate, which activates the kickdown solenoid) went missing, leading the car to start in 1st gear, hold it for longer than usual, and then shift slightly more aggressively than usual all the way up to top gear. It still drives fine (and in fact it's refreshing to feel even more torque off the line) but we've ordered a replacement shifter that will address the issue. Finally, when the battery wouldn't hold a charge I had it replaced under warranty and had a new OEM (rebuilt) Bosch alternator installed. Everything electrical works flawlessly now (and the car passed smog with flying colors) except that the instrument panel cluster backlight does not illuminate when the lights are on. We are working on a solution and will either fix it before the sale or apply a credit toward the purchase price depending on repair timeline and what our mechanic says. I'll be traveling Monday late afternoon and the car will be in the capable hands of my mechanic, who can handover the vehicle to the new owner or shipping company. I'm happy to answer any questions in the meantime and provide a test drive or FaceTime tour before I leave town tomorrow. This car has been very good to me and drives beautifully. With proper maintenance it should provide many more miles of use for the next lucky owner. Thanks and happy bidding.

Please DM to arrange a test drive or FaceTime tour this weekend. June 6th, 2025 at 8:35pm ESTB_R_W (19) Seller 0@Herbie Thank you . What a great trio you've got. Enjoy!June 6th, 2025 at 8:22pm ESTHerbie (4) 0Hello Basem, I just watched your video on the 400 SEL. You (and your spouse) described the car better than any advertisement from MB could have done it. It shows, that you love these S class cars and have taken care of them like I do. As long as you do regular maintenance, these cars will last forever. In my collection I have a 1997 S420, a 1994 S500, (originally owned by Dr. Frederick Flick, the biggest shareholder of Mercedes in the 90ties), and a 1998 CL600. The CL 600 is the best driving car of them all. The mileage over 7 years is better than 15 mpg. The buyer should be very happy with your car.

One of the biggest debates about 140s is pre or post-facelift. There are pluses and minuses to both. I love pre-facelift 140 sedans and coupes because in my view they feel a bit more special—they have higher quality interior materials, contrasting exterior lower cladding that sets them apart, and novel features like the power operated rearview mirror and so-called parking antennas that were abandoned by '96 and onward. Pre-facelift cars do have 4-speed transmissions (versus the 5-speed in '96 and later models) and the ignition systems on facelift V12s are easier to sort. I've had a great time with my '94 and have done my best to keep it ru
