It sounds pretty good to me but I would ask them to certify it even if they raise the price. From everything I've read, the 12 cylinder motors are notoriously expensive to maintain. I'm sure the W220 owners here will elaborate.

2005 S500 4Matic
It doesn't have DisTronic. You can clearly "see the absence" of that plastic cover in the front grille, being characteristic for DisTronic equipped cars.
If you know the VIN, do a search for VIN Decoder and you will know the exact specifics of that car, including the built date.
...and you might (which I think you already did, as a long-time W220 owner) take into consideration that the S600 is a rather complex vehicle, even in comparison to an S500...
...btw, you will never have any Airmatic problems with an S600
, because they come with ABC standard

I also heard that the issues with the V12 primarily remain within the 2001-2002 models. Your thread title says 2004, but you say 2006 in your post. Which one is it?
Either way, it should be much more reliable than the N/A S600.
