I'm sure he probably meant a Pre-Owned.

Err...the S430 existed throughout the whole W220 "life cycle".

Anyway, welcome to the forum! For the wheels check out what our sponsors have to offer. They might have the thing you're looking for.

Yeah, I remember them having the Sport Package or the 4Matic option free of charge in 2006. But apparently not all had it. Maybe build date has something to do with it.

They stopped making both of them but in 07 when they retired the W220.

The S430 and the S500 was in production the same length of time. A long 7 years... That says a lot for the W220. ( all issues aside ). The style really held it's place in the automotive market for a good long time. Any other bodies of late lasted that long?? Hmmm.. W203? nope. W211? Nope...only the W163 I believe but that's a truck.

The W220 S-Class was actually available since 1998 (in Europe, iirc). So that's 8-9 years!
