Looking to buy an 04 or 05 S600... Question:

Were there any significan differences between these two years. Both cars that I'm looking at have about 7K miles. Any issues with these cars and turbo engines? Thank you!

Both years are great and similar in almost every respect. I have the 2004 S600 and it is superb in every respect. You will love it. The car is so fast it is unbelievable that a four door sedan can fly and handle like the S600. Truly a sports car and luxury car in one.

What are the years, mileage and pricing for the two?

Thanks for that!
05 with 2k for $79K
04 with 7K for $72K with AMG package.
This is soo much car for so little money imho that we just can't pass it up. Feel for you guys that bought those a few years back, but same thing with my CLK55...

I would go with the 2004. $7K less and fully loaded (you can spend that $7K on RennTech software). The mileage just means you get the car already broken in. Plus, you cleared first year production model (2003) so problems have been worked out. Just don't forget an extended warranty to 100K miles. Although marvels of engineering and class, the repairs are expensive (AirMatic seems to be an issue for many). Aside from that, Good Luck!
