Used Car of the Day: 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class
If you want a flagship luxury sedan at an affordable price, today's your lucky day.
There is a catch, though -- this one is a 2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class, not a brand new one.
This S500 4Matic is in generally good condition and has been daily driven over the years. The seller says its been well maintained and is pretty stock, though it does have 19-inch AMG wheels.
Our seller has plenty of OEM parts to include with the sale, and he or she says the car has over 232,000 miles on it and, with "one weekend" worth of work, will be ready to do another 232,000.
The listing is long and I just grabbed the top-level takeaway -- click here to see it in full. The ask for this Washington-State-based car is $9,400.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

Its rather bland looking, very Teutonic and sterile.
Got one. It was my Dad's and now has 132K on it. I pay my Mercedes guy zillions of dollars to keep it going. But, I do, and he does and it's an excellent vehicle. I've put in the full Android panel for BT handsfree and streaming with a backup cam.
