Thank you everyone. Looking forward to exploring more of the forum. Already evaluating adding carplay/android auto, spoilers and fragrances available here. Great place with awesome information.
Welcome on board and congratulations! This sure is a great place with nice people with good ideas for the ride. Feel free to ask questions, knowledge is everywhere around these parts!
Thank you everyone again for the warm welcome. Not sure if should create a separate post or ask the question here but I got this with 10k miles on odo but its 6 years old. Should I get 6 years old service done? As of now just did a service B as per dealership recommendation but feeling I should do a drain and fill of transmission fluids, brake fluids. Thoughts?
Welcome and tuff looking S550, However I have to ask why trade in the Aston-Martin?

Multiple reasons, primary being a need for 4 seats. Other reasons were not using it a lot so more of a weekend car, not able to justify using it as a daily due to very firm ride, very compact feeling (less distance between driver and passenger and overall cabin) coming from owning a corvette before, my wife didn't enjoy driving it as much as she did corvette owing to AMT and other issue, lot of quirks that I didn't expect and a long list of maintenance was going to be due quote for which would easily be $6k+. Got $2k more than what I paid for, so was a no brainer at that point to sell. And the icing on the cake was the test drive of s550 was amazing. It felt as if I went from a CRT TV to OLED in one jump.

Just a quick update. That was a short lived ownership. Sold the S550 and got a new EQS 450+ on Saturday. Very impressive. Missing the S550 already but the new one is good in some areas and not so good in some. Most of all, miss the overall design. Timeless and classic.
