F/S; 2008 S550/35k/Designo/Bad Motor? Make Offer/Must Sell

2008 S550 with 35k miles..This car is fully loaded with the designo package and every other option you can imagin. I was driving it and the motor just made a terrible noise and went dead. I had the car towed home and it is sitting in the backyard getting rained on as we speak. I need this car gone, I cant afford to fix it. Make me an offer?

Why is the car not under factory warranty? A 2008 MY should have factory warranty until at least late 2011 and your mileage is under the limit as well.

Doesn't make sense...

then why does your sig list an SL55? Surely that's not just a typo or mix-up. The two cars are completely different.

I smell fish.

The S550 was your first MB purchase ever, and it happened last month. So within this past month, you also purchased an SL55 and an E550? Right...

If you're actually trying to sell this car (which I don't think you are, BTW) then call your local MB dealer, give them the VIN and ask if it's still got a factory warranty.

Unless it's a salvage title, I don't think there's any reason why your factory warranty would be ineligible.

Would you like my address to come do an inspection? I also have all bills of sales which show the purchase date on every vehicle I own. So far from "crap"

Feel free to call me anytime if you have any other questions...

Thanks,
Shawn

Yes..Your are "Right..." All 3 of my mercedes purchases were last month. Aside from I AM trying to sell this car and if I could get $35k out of it someone can come pick it up.

Thanks,

Has flood loss...basically a throw away cause anything can happen to this point to the car. Very beautiful car Shawn, but I don't think anyone will buy it unless it some rich kid's parents want it

You bought a branded title from the auction and didn't know what warranty would be on it?
After buying the first MB you purchased 2 more and yet can't afford a new motor for the one that made younfall in love with the brand?
Posting a vin is about as dangerous as posting in OT-if we REALLY wanted to know who you are we could find out-we just want to know about the car you have for sale......
Edit: ur phone googles a bbb roofing company....business must be good.
Edit2: and you were selling an f250 on tpNov 8th......
I call shenanigans.

I bought a car running and driving fine for a great price, a warranty was the very least of concern. I pay cash for these cars, they are my personal toys. It broke down on me, I'll take a loss on this one, get whatever cash I can get out of it and buy the next one I come across. No " " that I can find anywhere, but keep looking


When you place a call to your local mercedes benz dealer and your told a motor will cost $40k + brand new, I will be the first to admit, I cant afford it. Whats " " about that?

And with the vin comment, if anyone would like my vin feel free to contact me with a pm or a phone call.

Thanks,
Shawn

You can throw down "cash" for a 2003 SL55 amg, a 2010 E550 and a 2008 S550 for "toys" in the s[pan of a month, yet you can't afford to fix a motor? I smell even more fish. A big whale-sized fish.

PM sent for VIN

You can get a used S550 motor for about $14,000. Why not just get an estimate to repair?

Will you accept $60,000 via Western Union money transfer? I'm really eager to get my hands on this ride. Just ship it to me after you deposit the check okay?

Thanks,

Rob

I really don't believe you have any of the 3 cars. I can't see any of the other cars in the pic you posted. Fake.
