Considering a 2017 S550 Cabrio – High Mileage, Prior Accidents
Hi all,
New to the forum and hoping for some perspective. I’ve always wanted an S Cabrio and am about to pull the trigger now that prices have come down. I’m looking at a 2017 S550 Cabrio

M278? Timing chain covers leaks. Front differential leaks. Should have a cast iron block as a 2017. Still engine compression is still an issue.I would not own a used Mercedes unless I did my own repairs.

My suggestion is to go for an early S560 Cabrio - much more reliable engine, updated suspension, updated infotainment, and a lot more. Elaborated in length here: https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-c...ml#post9239442
