This is my first AMG, but the w220 has been a dream of mine to own. Picked up this old gal in Ponta Vedra from the original owner. 2005 s55 with 56k on the clock. Great service history and the Alabaster over charcoal interior which I have read there are not many.... Unsure if thats true.
My OCD has already kicked into high gear as for peace of mind ive gone through and replaced all fluids and filters as well as the valve cover gaskets and tune up. Looking forward to the vast knowledge of this site to help me along the way if necessary.
