Let us know if you have any questions. August 19th, 2023 at 3:44pm ESTRomitroyce (18) 2Hello W220 pullman expert here. I have followed this car from early on sold at this same dealership in CA the 45k range few years ago I had my agent go inspect the car at that time it is amazing. The wheels are not the factory 5 spoke the car had when originally listed and they must have been swapped in the last ownership. Fun facts about W220 Pullmans 224 total made including 74 S500 and 150 S600 pullman. Included in these figures are 4 known AMG engined cars. There is one S55 AMG Pullman black on black which belonged to Tina Turner which I currently own with 24k miles on the clock as 3rd owner. There are three S63 V12 Pullmans. 2 belonged to the CEO of Samsung 1 is black on black the other gold on tan both cars in Europe currently. Gold one was up for sale around 150k euros few months ago at Classic Sterne in Germany. The last S63 is a Grey car also in Europe and sold 4ish years ago by Auto Zitzmann who still own the black Samsung S63 (I made many offers for this car). Very special and underappreciated vehicles. They are rock solid. I drove my Tanzanite blue S500 pullman to Miami and back and My S55 pullman to North Carolina and back all functions including cruise control working after 20+ years. Rock solid engines even after running for 20+ hours with little to no rest. I think I might have to buy this one also 🤔 August 19th, 2023 at 1:33pm ESTthembmarket (691) 0Detailed exterior and interior videos have been added to the listing along with driving footage.

They do work correctly when unlocking and locking from the inside using the interior buttons.

Take a look at the Carfax for the 1989 260SE Euro Auction that sold on this site a few days ago. When that car was sold/titled in VA in 2012, the Carfax reports the "Not Built to US Standards" line because its a Euro-Spec car. When the car was later sold to Texas, that line was NOT reported. Irrespective of the designation by CARFAX, the car was legally titled/registered/driven in both states without issue or regard for the line on the Carfax. While the Pullman is not a "Euro Spec" car, it would - in my opinion - likely also qualify as not being built to US specifications due to the length, rear facing seats and various other specialty built and extravagant Pullman features that were not available on any other US spec W220 of the era. That is to say, it passed the rigorous FEDERAL US highway safety standards by the USDOT, but when it goes to the state, a box is ticked noting its status as a car that had not been originally built to US standards. If that were a problem, it would seem to me that the cars would not then get issued titles and registrations, but we can see where that happens on many imported cars that share the same Carfax reporting line. The car is presently titled in California and the State noted that its a non-US spec car when title passed (just like with the 1989 car in Virginia). However, its been declared federally road legal and road legal in the state of California as per the DOT forms and the issuance of a CA title. I cant speak to CA emissions b/c I'm not very familiar with that system, personally. Just my two cents....but it just seems like a disjoint/discord between the Federal and State bureaucratic reporting systems. Hope that helps.
