Every year the government confiscates cars for many reasons. These used and old service vehicles are then sold by the Ministry of Finance. Autovisie shows exactly how this works in this report.
This time there is a very luxurious car for sale: a Mercedes-Benz S 500. You can bid on the car through the government website. If you bid the highest amount, you can pick up the car. This amount is not what you end up paying for your fresh car. In addition to your bid, there is an additional 15 percent buy-up.
Dutch government sells Mercedes-Benz S 500
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class is the absolute pinnacle of the luxury brand if you look at Maybach as an individual brand. The car is designed for comfort and hovers over the road.

The car for sale at the Dutch government is a Mercedes-Benz S 500. The car has an eight-cylinder engine with a displacement of 4664 cm3. The power source is responsible for 455 hp and 700 Nm of torque. The luxury car, which weighs almost 2 tons, sprints from 0 to 100 kilometers per hour in 4.8 seconds. The maximum speed is 250 kilometers per hour.
The car at the Dutch government does not currently have a valid MOT and nothing is known about the maintenance history. In addition, the car is equipped with a foil. So what the color looks like under the white layer remains to be seen.

The car, on the other hand, was delivered in the Netherlands. The mileage of 205,875 is logical according to the NAP check. Nevertheless, like many cars at Domeinen Roerende Zaken, a Mercedes-Benz S-Class remains a risky purchase. Click here to go to the ad.
Driving the new S-Class
A while ago Autovisie drove the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The car is of a newer generation than the luxury car sold by the government. In the video below, Jaco Bijlsma takes you inside the car that has the title “Best Car in the World”.
