AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Mercedes-Benz S500 W140 (1992) – only 82,921 km, rust-free from Japan.
This S-Class represents the very best of Mercedes-Benz engineering from the early 1990s – a true flagship in remarkable condition. Delivered new in Japan and showing just 82,921 km, this example has been exceptionally well preserved. Unlike many European cars of this era, it is completely free from rust thanks to the favorable Japanese climate and careful ownership.
Body and paint
The body is straight and rust-free. Original paint presents well but would benefit from professional polishing, as fine surface marks are visible from past brush-style car washes. Chrome trim, lights, and rubber seals remain complete and in fair condition.
Technical condition
Mechanically in excellent order. The 5.0L V8 runs smoothly, with no leaks or unwanted noises, and the automatic transmission shifts cleanly. Brakes, suspension, and steering are tight and confidence-inspiring. Recent servicing carried out, and the car starts and drives reliably in both hot and cold conditions.
Interior condition
The interior is largely original, with comfortable leather seats, intact headliner, and fully working instruments. A few small trim sections show signs of peeling or detachment, but overall the cabin presents well and remains highly usable. All electrical equipment (windows, gauges, switches, radio, etc.) functions as intended.
Documentation
Offered with Japanese manuals. Car is registered on Czech veteran papers.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
