My CLS 63 is N/A its plenty fast and comfy but....

I believe the S600 has an advantage in hp and tq. Since I will be tuning the ECU , I should be able to get nearly 700 ft pounds of tq at low rpm.

The real advantage however is the comfy and roomy interior of the S class.

I don't see it as a downgrade at all just more of a sleeper sedan.


I am excited as when I first got my CLS 63. The V12 TT makes me feel ok

This car also has 18k less miles than my CLS.

The CLS is pretty nice, but I agree with you, interior wise the S class buries the CLS..

There are some aspects that will be a downgrade but paying 1000 less per month seems like a better option plus the S 600 was stickered 45k more than the CLS 63!!

could you briefly describe your ride?

Do you guys think a S600 with 20k miles 2005 for 32k is a good price?

TIA

In a word YES, I paid 28K for an 04 with a few more miles. It had everything except the heated steering wheel. Which I miss here in PA.

Make sure it has dynamic seats

I could careless about distronic, its F-CKING worthless, IMHO

Its a designo mocha black with brown interior s with the amg sport package.

The price you list is very good.

I completely disagree with MRAMG about the options. Dynamic seats are a total gimmick to me, but I love distronic. I don't use it much, but it really wows the hell out of people and its useful on long trips.

Options, in order of importance to me

Options:
Amg package, can't look like an old mans Buick
Dynamic seats, I like my fat in place thank you
Keyless go, this should be standard on Every MB IMHO
Electronic trunk, Lazy, I know
Heated steering wheel, Cold weather driver friendly
Rear blinds, sleeping kids
Distronic, for people that don't know how to drive or play in traffic

Mine had everything but the heated wheel, which I do miss here in PA.

Good luck Juicee600

Thank you.

I think you'll like the car. Seeing how little snow we got, I regret not getting a rwd 600.

Very good deal assuming it has the AMG package. The non-AMG W220s look, as someone else said, like an old man's Buick!

Car was sold when I showed up at lunch to finish up.

Guy in Colorado purchased it for 35k,

It was amazing in person, the paint , wheels and designo interior flawless.

Oh well , moving along now , trying to stay around 30k.

Guess the car market aint as dead as many believe, this S600 sold above what the dealer was asking , sheesh
