bought a new S500

Hello all,

Just picked up a new to me S500 with 76k miles on the clock. Car is in great condition inside and out. She is desert taupe with black interior and has the amg kit on it. I searched for ever and used the many helpful guides on this forum to make my decision.

Right off the bat i noticed a rough idle but it happens only some of the time. I pulled apart the air intake assembly and it was filthy, There was a small city of bee's in it. So hope fully (as i wait for my 02 sensor to dry) that will fix it. I also fixed the cable that pulls the seat belt height up and down.

In the next couple of weeks i plan to do plugs and transmission service. Look forward to talking with you guys.
