Background Story of this 1996 Mercedes-Benz S500

Overview of 1996 Mercedes-Benz S500 For Sale by Owner

The W140-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class represented the pinnacle of German engineering in the 1990s, often referred to as the last of the “overbuilt” Mercedes sedans. This 1996 Mercedes-Benz S500, finished in black over a matching black interior, has just 29,116 miles and remains in one-owner condition. Powered by a 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 paired with a 5-speed automatic transmission, it embodies the effortless power, refinement, and presence that defined the S-Class flagship. With advanced technology for its time, including adaptive damping, electronic stability, and multicontour seating, this S500 is a true example of timeless luxury.

Exterior and Interior

The black exterior underscores the S500’s stately proportions, highlighted by subtle chrome accents and the car’s iconic upright stance. Its preserved condition reflects both the low mileage and long-term single ownership. Inside, the black leather interior continues the theme of understated elegance, complemented by wood trim and high-quality finishes throughout. Multicontour driver and passenger seats provide tailored comfort, while features like the electrically operated rear window shade and dual-zone climate reflect Mercedes-Benz’s dedication to luxury and innovation during the W140 era.

Engine

At its core, the S500 is powered by Mercedes’s 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8, paired with Bosch LH-Jetronic fuel injection for smooth, reliable power delivery. The fivw-speed automatic transmission ensures seamless performance, while the Adaptive Damping System (ADS) and Electronic Stability Program (ESP) keep the large sedan composed and confident in all conditions. Built at a time when Mercedes prioritized durability and refinement over cost-cutting, the W140 chassis delivers a level of solidity and isolation that remains unmatched decades later.

PENDING SALE
$154,999

The Porsche Panamera is a four-door luxury car from Porsche that was introduced for the 2009 model year. Curiously, it’s not the first four-door to come from the German sports car maker; that honor goes to the Cayenne several years earlier. With its coupe-inspired silhouette and sporty driving dynamics, the Panamera is intended to offer a more practical four-door four-seat alternative to the 911. Here, we have a second-generation 2023 Porsche Panamera GTS for sale from California. It’s got just 2,748 miles on the clock and a twin-turbo V8 under the hood. It’s also equipped with the Premium Package, front massage seats and the Burmester 3D High-End Surround Sound Package. If you want a luxurious but engaging to drive four-seater with space for a small family, this car ticks all the boxes.

2008 Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster 6-Speed

VERIFIED SELLER
PENDING SALE
$44,999

Vantage has been a tag that Aston Martin used to use to denote the higher-performance variants of their existing cars, such as the DB7. But in 2005, that changed when this prolific British sports car maker decided to make a model called the Vantage. That’s what we have here, a first-generation Aston Martin Vantage V8 for sale from Poquoson, Virginia. The car has got a manual gearbox, a Caspian Blue interior and only over 41,000 miles to its name. If you’d like to experience one of the finest British grand tourers from the mid to late 2000s, as well as channel a little bit of James Bond suaveness, this reportedly all-stock car is ideal.
