It looks more like a highway patrol police car.

Thats the kind of W220 that you hear horrar stories about.

It has the SRS light on that he admits... Probably hasn't been serviced in 1-2 years...Fixing the paint job ain't going to be cheap...

Thats a ghetto cruiser, its screaming for some 20in chrome dubs, and will be smoking with the dash light up like a christmass tree in a few years.

Cars in Va. won't pass State Inspection if the SRS light is on. I can't tell from the photos just when the inspection sticker expires, or has expired. From the text, taking it by trailer within 200 miles of Va. Beach tells me he can't get it through inspection. It may be something as simple as a disconnected seat harness or a SRS computer.

Buyer beware.

Good point, it won't pass emisions in CT as well. On cars newer then 1996 they scan for codes, if they find codes it fails.

If this guy is a dealer you can get him, dealers have to sell cars that pass inspection.

This whole car just smells funny to me, I wouldn't touch it with a 10ft pole.

It's a shame to see someone do things like that to a nice-looking car like an S500.

I always wonder what is going through a persons mind when they deface a car. I picture a group of guys standing around saying yah man if you paint it like a bach and put some 20's on it....yeah man.

I have to find a picture of a lambo with dolphins all over it.

Was is a Sea World promo? I don't get it?

Think I'll go paint lamp shades on my S600.

This is what you get when an 8 year old paints a car.
