If you ask any young boy about their dream luxury car, most likely you'll hear that they would love to own a Mercedes-Benz once in their life. Now, what if we tell you that for a price less than that of a Maruti Suzuki Swift, you can get your hands on a pristinely kept Mercedes-Benz S-Class? You'd say that we are joking, right? Well, we are indeed very serious. Here are the details of a 2011 Mercedes-Benz S500, which is a deal in today's used car market.

The post showing this particular Mercedes-Benz S500 for sale has been shared on Instagram by Marvellous Machines on their page. First off, let's start with the details of this particular Mercedes-Benz S-Class. As per the post, it is a 2011 S500 luxury sedan, which is a single-owner vehicle and has been kept immaculately.

What makes it even more appealing is that the seller has all the service records for this S500.

As per the post, the vehicle has never been painted, and it has 100 percent original factory paint.

Additionally, the beige interior of this S-Class is also completely immaculate, and there are no signs of excessive wear and tear. All the wooden interior trims and other components are intact. Overall, the condition of this particular Mercedes-Benz S500 is top-notch. The seller is asking Rs 9.75 lakh, which seems like a fair price for a Mercedes-Benz S500 from 2011, which is in such an amazing condition.

Should you buy this over a Maruti Suzuki Swift?

Generally, buying a used flagship German luxury car like an S-Class is a risky endeavour. We say this because, even though these vehicles are available in the used car market for prices under Rs 10–15 lakh, it has to be kept in mind that their maintenance and upkeep still is of a flagship luxury car from the particular brand. But in this particular case, the vehicle has been kept in mint condition.

As this vehicle has all the service records and has covered only a decent 62,000 km over its life till now, it seems like a good buy. Now, before you pull the trigger on this vehicle, we would still suggest you do your homework and make sure that you have extra funds to run and maintain this flagship luxury sedan. If you can manage any sudden expense and not break your bank, then this vehicle will give an enormous amount of joy.

Now, if you are someone who does not want something as flashy as the Mercedes-Benz S500 and would like your vehicle to be extremely reliable, then you should opt for the Maruti Suzuki Swift. It will be cheap to run, and parts along with service are very affordable. Additionally, it will also provide you with high mileage, making it more pocket-friendly.
