Does anyone have a black 2018 S63 w/ saddle interior?
This is a combination I've been looking for but have never seen, and wondering if anyone here has one!

There is 1 in Illinois. Check in Carguru. It’s staggeringly beautiful. $129 ask. Only problem is it’s a Buyback. If that’s OK with you I assume it can be had for even much cheaper.

I do love that one, but it's got the NIGHT package which I don't care for. It's not a deal breaker entirely, but it's an issue for me. At the right price, though, it's otherwise perfect!
If there was some easy way to "undo" the NIGHT package I would, but when combined with the CARBON package I don't know if you can just change tips, spears, and intake trim somehow. Or more likely I'd just get used to the blacked out look, but it's new to me, and I like some "bling" I guess.
Any obvious solution to "it's perfect except for the NIGHT package"? Actually I'd like base wheels and comet tail wood, if I were ordering one...

Anyone want to venture a fair price for a 845 mile buyback? Maybe their $129,500 ask is it, but I feel like there's a bit more of a discount when it follows you on the title, and the 2020s are already out!

Buy backs are not as inexpensive as we would think. I believe they are exported so they still sell for pretty high numbers

Yes, I bet this could to Russia or China and they'd not care!
This car is built almost perfectly for me, but what other jackpots would I be in the midst of 3-4 years from now owning this car with a LEMON branded title? You have to disclose it, and it's on the Carfax, and I imagine people will still care. Can they even get financing on a lemon law car though?
As much as I'd like to save $60K off new on this one... I'd want to understand every nuance of the nonsense I'm inflicting on myself by doing so! Anyone had a LEMON car to sell used?

I flew out and drove this one this morning! The only two knocks against the car (besides the branded title) are (a) a few interior noises over larger, harsh bumps (like the Chicago roads tend to have, but Seattle not so much) and (b) some wonkiness with starting off, I guess with the new transmission. I can't describe it exactly other than "different than and a little clunkier than a torque converter".
It also tended to "plow" in wet parking lots at full turn lock, but that's likely normal.
I wish I had a better idea of the "exit plan" on this vehicle, as I'd do it in a heartbeat, I think. I know it'll be worth less due to the title, I can live with that. But I'd rather not have to private-sale it to the highest cash buyer because no one will consign it because no one will finance it!

Night apckage
Yes you can “undo” the night package. Interestingly (to me!) I am almost done with the opposite on an S65 - I replaced all chrome with black pieces. It wasn’t n option in the US so it’s a mix of OEM black (non-US) and OEM custom paints pieces.
your options are to buy and fit OEM “bling” pieces - likely $7-8k + roughly $5k body shop cost
or could source some aftermarket parts
or could have the areas you like wrapped - this would be much cheaper - but lower quality results (still could be quite good) and could optionally choose something unique like a finish that has some pearlescent or similar effect - some of the rap materials and effects are amazing
do you have a link to this car - would like to see the interior? Personally I’m ok with a gamble - but not when it comes to transmission - especially if a dealer has already “fixed” it and still has symptoms.
