Why the large price difference between S550 Coupe & S550 Sedan?
I’m looking to upgrade to a used 15’ S550 coupe and
completely astonished that the prices are nowhere close to one another??
how come I can get a 15’ s550 sedan for 46k but the
lowest price 15’ S550 coupe I can find is 67k??
Why such a huge price difference between coupe and sedan for similar year and miles?

Did a CARMAX search within 100 miles of my location. Used S class 2015-2017: 95 sedans, 5 coupes, 1 cabriolet.

I've been looking for an S550 coupe for a couple of months in S. Fl and have seen none in the $60's. The closest was a '15 non CPO at a MB dealer with Sport package and 39k miles for $75K. It had only about 5 months left on the MB original warranty.

2015 S550 Coup, 2017 Golf R , 2018 BMW M2 (wifes)
Well the easy answer is that in the German high end car world- Coupes are always more than Sedans- Coupe versions are their "own" cars that usually share no body panels with their Sedan counter parts. Coupes sell less and as a matter of fact the 2018-2019 MY of the S550 (56) COUPE is going away- possible the best looking car from Mercedes the past 20 years or so will be gone. But look at the Coupe vs Sedan- the 4 series from BMW Coupe is ~3k more. The C series coupes are more than Sedans- E series too. The S5 is more than the Audi S4 etc... But the cost difference of the S Coupe vs the S sedan is substantial- the coupe LOOKs far better and is a "lifestyle" car for sure. Just bought a CPO S550 Edition 1 with only 20k miles on it- 205 paid 86k BUT that includes 2 extra years CPO for a total of 40 months UNLIMITED miles FACTORY warranty! I will be putting up a review shortly.
