Hello everyone. I traded my 2018 Jeep Rubicon Recon today for a 2019 S560! The original owner put 34k miles on it in California, and I grabbed it out here in Connecticut. I'm told it was owned by a "well known" football player who had it in a lease for 4 years. Who knows! But I am super stoked to pick it up tomorrow!
I could have got it today, but during the check up after payment was made, the dealer said the starry headliner was possibly being powered by the antenna the key uses, and the doors weren't properly locked with the key fob. Does this sound like a possibility? Also I was told there is a slight shake at around 75moh that they are checking on. I don't know if it's wheel shake or seat shake yet, so again, who knows! Anyone ever heard of these small things?

Congrats! Looks super sweet! All problems will be fixed. Minor issues, may need some patience. Many used mercedes were driven gently by superstar athletes, hence a price bump for sharing a seat with royalty. Dealers never lie about such things!

How is the ownership experience going? Did they get the shaking problem ironed out? Also, how do you like your "starry night" headliner? I've never seen one on an S-class but it looks like the shop that installed it did a great job.
