What did he trade it in for? An SLS? An S63 AMG coupe?

A $40-50k premium because it was owned by Lebron? It should be a $20k price hit because he owned it.

Oddly the Autotrader listing did not divulge that info.

That thing is loaded up. I'm guessing it would have been a 600 if he hadn't needed AWD. MSRP had to be very close to that ask for all that stuff.

If I had a nickel for every time I said exactly that. The other day my wife was telling me something and I said "Dear, that only intrigues me as little as any sea brim puts out poo into the sea."

Then she had a funny come back. She looked me in the eye, very concerned and said "I'm taking you to the ER right now for a CAT scan! I think you've had a stroke!"

Then I was all, " I need a CAT scan like a potato who writes pop tunes on his grandpas piggyback wigwam."

Then later that day I had a CAT scan.

MSRP was EXACTLY $147,135....funny thing is that it has the sport package, but those are not the sport wheels. those are the upgraded 20" wheels for the standard package...it is definitely loaded with every option imaginable...

The below video shows the same car with different wheels. I am guessing Lebron changed the wheels from the original sport wheels (either 19" or 20") to some other wheels and the dealership changed the wheels after the trade. In any event, the dealership video shows different wheels from what autotrader shows.

that's strange. the video walk-around shows the 19" multi-spoke wheels that are standard on the S600. the original build sheet shows that it came with the 20" AMG multi-spoke wheels. the 20" multi-spoke wheels have larger gaps between spokes than the 19" from the S600. i'm willing to bet that you're right (he put on aftermarket wheels and then traded in with those). instead of coming out of pocket to pay for the AMG multi-spokes, they went with the 20" 5-spoke wheels (of course, i'm not positive which ones cost more than the other; only assuming the AMG wheels cost more)

He has more than one W222, but I think he probably traded it in for a Maybach. I looked at his s550 and it seemed pretty custom. The MSRP is probably something close to 147 maybe 143 because of the custom interior and wheels.

Many years ago, when Kareem was still with the Lakers, I saw him get out of an S Class sedan, must have been in the 80's. After he walked away, I went and peered into the window of his car. The driver's seat was pretty much in the BACK seat! I would imagine the Mr. James may have had his seat modified as well.

Probably the last S in the universe I would buy. Those wheels are hideous and tacky too. I'll pass!
