Used 1997 Mercedes-Benz S-Class S 500 for Sale near Etobicoke, ON

While it's not the cheapest car it does redeem itself in many regards, the main one is the drive. W140s drive extremely well, they have a planted feel which I've never experienced in anything else, yet they also soak up bumps while travelling on less than stellar roads.,The handling of the car is a bit surprising because you don't expect such a large car to go around corners very well yet this car somehow does, and it does so without getting upset or losing composure. The engine is smooth, well balanced and will pull strong from just 1000 RPM, a trait I love about Mercedes. The car even starts off in second gear when being driven normally to ensure the start from a stoplight is as smooth as can be, and will only drop into first when really prodded. It's a vehicle that likes to chug along at about 1300 RPM and will shift below 2000 making it almost silent. The brakes are very smooth and powerful despite being burdened with the weight of this beast. It's a car I feel that was built to be the best it could be, corners weren't cut in the name of cost savings and it shows when driving one, every control is silky smooth and operates beautifully, frankly I can't understand why you would buy this car only to sit in the back.

Voted "Car most Likely to be assassinated in" by Dictator Quarterly Magazine. Large spacious interior, commanding view of the road. Lots of power and torque. "It is as furry as a mink farm and as snarly as a Bengal tiger in a butcher shop… This military empowered benevolent dictator sized rig has all the belt of a two-mile swim in a whiskey vat."
