1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 – $5,000 OBO
VIN: WDBGA57E6TA312783
Mileage: ~140,000 miles
Selling my 1996 Mercedes-Benz S600 project car. This is the flagship W140 sedan with the legendary hand-built M120 6.0L V12. She runs and drives fine, but needs work to be restored properly.
✅ The good:
• Runs and drives — recently drove it from South Carolina to Dallas, then to San Antonio.
• A/C was blowing cold until recently (likely compressor issue).
• Rear hydraulic accumulators replaced.
• New fuel pump and filter.
• New tires and battery.
• All major systems function, including suspension firmness button.
• Legendary Mercedes build quality — these cars are rare and collectible.
❌ The issues:
• Transmission pan gasket leaks.
• Rough idle (likely tune-up needed).
• Check engine light is on (reason unknown).
• Only driver’s window works; other window regulators need repair.
• Gas tank level sensor broken.
• Central locking doesn’t work (likely PSE pump).
• Suspension warning light, ABS light, and brake wear light on.
• Seats, dash, and sunroof cover have rips/tears.
• Needs full repaint.
This is a 6-owner S600 project. It’s the cheapest running and driving 1996 S600 in the country. Perfect for someone who appreciates the W140 and is willing to invest time and money into bringing her back to glory.
Price: $5,000 OBO.
