So sad to hear about all of your problems with your dream car. Don't worry, things always work out in the end. Sounds like you are young and you'll have plenty of time to get another S65 if you so desire. Good luck with your next car.

S65 at 16? My parents originally put me in range rover classic. Slow and tank built. Excactly what they wanted to keep me safe. Have you tried an independent mechanic ?

That sucks. If it needs 10K in repairs and you paid 30K for it what are you expecting for a trade 12/15K? You may want to weigh all your options first.
A second opinion on the car couldn't hurt.
Good luck.

I hate to be blunt but, you currently own a Lexus: LS600hl, LX470 and a Hummer H2. You then went to get an S65.

At that time, you realized you didn't have the money for the warranty? You and your pops didn't think about it BEFORE you bought the S65?

Sorry to say this but that is really irresponsible, and logically, it doesn't make sense.

The entire post doesn't add up.

You have to either be DUMB to be unable to process the costs in advance, or the desire to live a certain lifestyle clouds one's judgement.

Either way, it sounds extremely fishy.

OMG, you have the New S CLASS!!!! how is it. Im sitting watching videos of the 2015 S65 AMG drooling. It is far better and superior to the W220 and w221, Is it a revolution, an evolution. I would appreciate an insight into ownership of the w222.

It is night and day to the previous body. Feels very fast, a lot faster than before. Very comfortable. The Magic Body Control option is great, but would work better with 18" wheels / tires instead of 20".

Gets a lot of attention.

Love the car 2009 was a great car . My 2015 had gotten bad fuel that screwed up the cylinders and injectors but is now running fine and 2018 runs just like the 2015 . Overall they are a good engines excellent price would not trade them for anything I wish I still had my 2009 that was very special. I also have a C 63 convertible but it is a totally different car from the S class
