Greetings 504mbam,

Read through a few of these previous postings to get some feedback. Do as much research as possible. Also, I wouldn't put 22's on a S550, just my opinion. Take care!

The period key on his phone or PC must be broken.

Nothing wrong with the shift key though.

I'm not inclined to help someone that gives me a headache trying to read his'hers post.

There's a good lesson to be learned here for the OP.

This post needs about ten periods, even then I doubt it would be readable.

Agree on previous comment about 22"s

Just A Few Quick Questions Does The W221s Suffer From The Air Suspension Problems Like The 05-09 CLS ,03-08 E Class 2000-06 S Class? I Had Only 1 Passenger Side Shock Malfunction On My 07 CLS550 But Ended Up Replacing Both I Just Want To Be Prepared & Can An 07 Still Be Covered By Warranty?

You can by an aftermarket warranty, but for a a pre-20110 car, there are probably going to very expensive, and you also want to verify what they will cover and not cover. Also, as you already know, with any car, you really need to have it checked out before you purchase, especially with an 8 year old $100k plus car.

Agree with previous post regarding searching this forum and others about maintenance and specific issues you are concerned about. There are some threads that provide very good discussions.

Good Luck

I've had a 2000 s430, a 2007 s 4-matic, a 2010 s550, and currently 2011 s550. I took the 2000 to 120k +, and it did require air suspension work after 70k. Took the 2007 and 2010 to about 90k before trading in and had no air suspension issues.

Not sure if you're still in the market, but I picked one up last week to maybe flip. I've been through it fixing small common issues and will replace the windshield next week (has a few chips right in the sight line.


69K miles '08 4matic with AMG performance package(wheels, brakes, exhaust) Everything works. Hit me up if interested.

How much did you pick it up for, and where are you located?
