SOLD This W220 S-Class, a 2006 S-350 Sedan, is powered by a 3.7 liter V6 and coupled to MB's bulletproof 5-speed automatic. This is a Short Wheelbase version, and the V6 provides enough torque and horsepower to move it down the road adequately. It drives like an E-Class, but has the prestige, equipment, and safety of an S. The 6-cylinder versions of the big S have always been amongst my favorite cars, and one of the few I would use as a daily driver. This particular example is a beutifully preserved Florida car with low miles, and nicely appointed.
Full review and test drive by Bill
SOLD

In 2022, I purchased a 1owner 2006 S350. Impeccable. I love it! Driving through Anaheim CA, at 2am, a group of thugs tried to rob me. From a stand-still position, I gunned the pedal, and within 2 seconds the engine growled like some monster metal beast, and 3 seconds later I was 8 blocks away! I'll never forget the feeling of this engine stepping up to the plate!

Mark Benzos the standard or short wheel base was a 1 year only thing I believe for this 350 model. All the S430+ models from 2000-2006 came standard with the Long Wheel Base in the US. Just like the 221 and 222 are LWB only in the US. Canada used to the get more of the SWB models and did so with the 221 S450 which wasn’t on the states.

Definitely would give it a shot with the V8 equipped model, had a bad experience owning an automatic four cylinder Honda and wow it was suuuper boring. No power, and no fun factor at all unless it was floored. Handled pretty lame too for a newer 2012 car. Switched back to a 2001 CR-V with awd and a manual transmission, fun factor is back! And it even gets better gas mileage than my former car did even with more weight, awd and age. Anyways, that's my story

This is a nice looking car BUT it has nothing on my 2001 S430. My car should be out of the shop this week. It has been in restoration for 6 months and it is coming out factory new. I loved the burgundy deep red. I had the car stripped all the way down to the bare metal and brought back to the original spec that it came with. All the upholstery has been replaced with the factory original style and color. Every thing is perfect and with the light miles on it it will last me the rest of my life for sure. I have all the paperwork on the car since it was new from Miami Every oil change, tune up, and replaced items. The only thing I that most people would not is I kept the original air system for the suspension. I did replace all 4 air shocks and the ones I found are actually heavier and better quality than the original. So before you spend thousands to replace the suspension with regular go on line and you can find NEW not rebuilt for under $500 for all 4 with an outstanding guarantee. Same thing with the head light assemblies they are not worth "cleaning" when you can replace them for around $200. I am looking forward to the first test drive of a Mercedes as I have only owned Lincolns all my adult life and this was a dream of mine. I bought it and drove it 17 miles to the restoration shop and that was before everything was working as new. In case you are wondering the cost of restoration was right at $10,000 and $5700 was for the paint job alone. So in conclusion when you run across a nice car like the one here check it out and spend your investment wisely

I’m retired now, but I could come back, if it was for a shop like yours. Young people have not the same appreciation for fine automobiles as an older, more experienced person, that’s for sure.
