I was just wondering the mileage you guys generally put on your w221. I've had mine for 4 months and I put about 1,500 miles on it. It is my daily driver as well but I just live really close to were I need to be.

2008 S550 4Matic
Last year about 32,000
So far this year 37,000
Not so good, one way commute to work consists of 45 miles of interstate driving and about 10 miles of city streets. I drive the crap out of this car at high speeds thats why I bought it after all it cost about the same as three regular cars.

Wow, popo, you put some serious miles on your car.

Any major issues for you so far?

I had a 2006 S500 W220 as my daily driver and my S550 as my occasional ride but the W220 started giving me headaches and I had to sell it. My S550 then became my daily driver and a spike in mileage. I had zero problems until this year. My soft close driver side goes out every other week but I just live with it.


The main problem I had was my busted strut. I did a write up here

Now my Airmatic light came on and the shop said it was the new strut so I'm waiting on a replacement from Arnott. Otherwise its been mainly trouble free.

That's always good to hear that these cars can be driven and still have minor issues. I get the strut thing, that's just what we have to deal with as I just replaced one as well.
