I'm trying to do this as more than just a passion/hobby, so if anyone does need auction photography in the Southeast, feel free to reach out to me. I've driven post and pre facelift cars and I have to admit I'm just that much more of a fan of the M273 cars. I'm a firm believer an S-Class deserves naturally aspirated power over turbos just because of the refinement factor. I know a lot of enthusiasts will probably disagree with me and I totally understand the love for turbos (who doesn't like kidney flattening torque and tunability?) but I'm just a curmudgeon who likes a quad cam Mercedes V8s without forced induction, plus the engineering is better than a turbo W221 -- plain and simple. Also I just like the painted panels going through the brake lights on a pre-facelift car. I think they're just neat. December 7th, 2023 at 12:49pm ESTMK395 (0) 0The photography is exceptional. Very desirable color. Prefacelift NA v8 models are a joy to drive. December 7th, 2023 at 10:40am EST$12,000 bid placed by @MBMitchDecember 7th, 2023 at 7:33am EST2nd_Chance_Steel (17) Seller 1As we come into the final day of the auction, I’ll be on standby for any last minute questions. This is kind of the spec for a W221. Green on tan is in vogue right now and is a timeless color combination, rare to see on an S-Class. The M273 is a much more reliable engine over the M278 the W221 got during its facelift since they don’t have the oil starvation issues on cold start, turbo issues, coolant pipe issues, and cylinder bore scoring issues. The S-Class deserves a NA V8 for its smooth and linear power delivery and this 5.5 liter quad cam engine makes more power than the AMG M113. It’s a perfect match. The service records are also a huge plus! The recent $11k service at DC MotorWerks, Atlanta’s best AMG/Mercedes specialty shop, absolutely went through the thing to get it worthy for the next owner. It’s just a super nice W221 and I’m excited for the next owner to win it. These are fantastic cars and this is a spectacular example that’s ready to just be driven.

I’ve alerted The MB Market team to edit the description. Blind spot assist was option 234 or 237 which this car does not have. I appreciate the comment. December 6th, 2023 at 4:34pm ESTSchoonermon (1) 1Does the car have blind spot assist? It is mentioned in description but would like to confirm. Thanks December 5th, 2023 at 2:23pm EST2nd_Chance_Steel (17) Seller 1@henryfpotter It got lost in the uploads, I've sent the PDF to The MB Market team to upload it now. PM me if you want and I can send it directly to you if you need it immediately!
