 | Re: Used S550 Is that in Canadian dollars? You shouldn't have to worry about a used Mercedes (the owners usually baby them) but if you can spring the extra 12 grand and get a brand new one (with your own option specifications) you might want to do that :P Otherwise the car itself sounds perfect.

| Re: Used S550 What is the mileage? If that is in USD then (depending on the mileage) the price sounds very good, but we need the mileage. M

Yep, it`s not even broken in yet. that usually takes about 50.000 miles. Sounds like a very good deal and the W221 S-Class has an excellent quality report. I`d still check the service record though. Put the VIN number in at CarFaX.com. It might be a small fee but it`s worth it, good luck.

| Re: Used S550 Before you buy it, visit your local dealership and offer 10K less than the sticker price ... put down a check for 2K or so to show you are serious. They'll call you towards the end of the month or sooner. But on the ther hand. 5K miles on a "Previously owned" MB is nothing. Plus it has a ton of features so if a dealer will not sell you a similar new one for 90K which they might, I'd say go for this one. I got mine for $13K less than sticker using this method! LOL

if the car was 102k new then cost on it was about $94,800. Cost, less hold back (which dealers don't negotiate on typically) would have been around $92k. So, no a dealer could not sell you a new one for anywhere near $88k right now. There are no programs, except for dealer loyalty money. You have to own an S, SL or CL currently. i think it's about $3,000. If you wait, you always risk someone else buying it out from under you. There is no used car factory. | |
