I was able to find a deal on a 2012 S-550 with only 24k miles on it. It's been a dream to drive.


We live about an hour from the closest dealer, in Portland. For that reason, I'd shied away from Mercedes and other luxury brands until now. I didn't like the idea of having to drive an hour for any service. But now...glad I changed my mind.
