My first Mercedes

Just bought my first Mercedes ever. Not sure why I waited so long. Love the car. I just sold my 2014 RR Autobiography and wasn't planning on buying a a Mercedes but saw this car and feel in love with it. It's a 2015 but I bought it used with 3500 miles. Guy who had it before me owned it for 3 months before trading in on a Maybach.

This car blows away the RR and ever 7 series and A8 I have ever driven.

Here are some pics.

Stunning car! Love the interior and all the upgrades inside. However, the car is located in Florida and that's a weird state. Total score: 4/5

Funny that you notice. Yes they are really old. There are a few that are stamped with 1912. The concrete is actually stamped 1912 as well.

So I have been drinking.... But is that seat super dirty or am I just too drunk lol. Typically with that little miles it would be CPO and you would *think* it would be cleaned up.

The RR was a beautiful car but too many querks for the money. The Infotainment system was a piece of crap, too slow and lots of bugs. I made a mistake in ordering the rear center console. It truly made the car nonfunctional as a SUV because you couldn't fold the seats down and it wasn't as comfortable for my daughter on long trips. Since demand was still so high I was actually able to sell and make a little money on it so I dumped. Still love the looks of RR but the S550 is light years a head of the RR. I ended up leasing a GLK for my wife to solve the SUV need.

Too funny. You may have been drinking too much. Car had just been detailed when I took these pics. The seats do have a grey hue to them so they are not completely white

Beautiful car. I do agree with you though - I understand why people order the executive seating option, but at the same time I don't understand.

Unless it is SPECIFICALLY for a gentleman who is being driven around to and from work - having a four seat exclusive car limits the vehicle tremendously. Especially in an SUV category. I suppose that's why they offer it as an option for those that don't have more than two kids.

My mom ordered a 2015 Range Rover SC LWB in Firenze Red with all the options. It's meant to come in any day now. Replacing a 2012 Audi A8L.
