Hi guys new to me owner of a 2014 S550 4matic.

Hi everyone, I recently purchased a 2014 S550. I feel it was a deal of my life time, and I couldn't pass up on this chance to own it. I bought it off my Mother-inlaws estate. The car only has 114,000 km on it and she was the second owner and only drove it 24,000km in the last 5 years! (I paid $22,000 CAN)
this car will become my daily commute car so I really want to take care of it the best I can.
Now I have all the history and paper work of the car and its only been serviced 5 times by mercedes over the years. A oil change eas done about 4000km ago . But I beleive that's over a year ago and I should be doing another oil change sooner rather then later?.

My big question is about the front facia. It looks like it has to be realigned. From what I can tell it looks like my mother inlaw had rolled over a concrete parking lot block, and then back off it which pulled the front facia on one side. No damage to sensors or anything I park this car in a very tight garage and the sensors work great.. its more of a visual thing that only I notice..
is this a costly repair to realign, or should i just live with it ?
thanks alot for taking my question.
cheers

Passenger side front wheel well , gap between light and wheel well. Front facia needs realignment.

Wow! Looks brand spanking new. I would pull off and access the issue...Seems like fix (by you) but if not then of course get it corrected. Just my opinion. GL

I will definitely look into this, I am a Tool and Die Maker so I am pretty capable with the right direction to tackle this myself... maybe 😀

Yeah, you're going to want to get out from underneath that car. As a matter of fact I will buy it from you for exactly what you paid..

Change the fluids, check the harness for oil and water system (small pipes) for drying/cracked plastics. Awesome car.
