S550 ( In Beverly Hills ) Looks Awesome

I was near by the place where I fix my E55 scrap rims. I came across the S550 Silver. I asked the price and if this is avaliable. They said it's sold. Funny they could get a hold of one before the launch dates.

But Never the less it looks beautiful. I love the S550. Oh yeah also I saw an SL65 with awesome rims but they won't let me go near it. That's one of the prettiest SL65 I've seen with those rims.

Just wondering would if you were me, would you keep the E55 or get the new s550. HAHA.

Bob, go for the S550. Nothing says class, power, and beauty like an S. If you want raw power go with the CLS 63.

But for me, its going to be an S550 or S65 this year. Though I can't be too certain yet.

It looks like the dealers have started to get their cars in stock, but they're not allowed to actually "sell" them for a few weeks. But, I'm sure for certain well qualified customers, they might allow them to take the car home for a very long "demo"

S550
I ended up calling them up and asking about the pricing of the S550. 97K! now i am really thinking of trading in the e55 for the s550, but I wont get the power of the e55.

He said he can me the first few cars at sticker price obsidian black on black. Do you guys think is a good deal? And he said I can lease it through MBcredit. Sounds tempting.

What you guys think? Let me know.

Keep your E55. It's far, far more exclusive. Especially in California, you'll see hundreds of these things a day within six months.

Ehh in California any AMG, M, RS or high end car is a dime a dozen man. After I bought my E55 I had 2 neighbors buy the same damn car as me.

Just should really buy a Veyron and see if others follow.

E55 vs. S550 .. they're entirely different animals. You're comparing a full sized, luxery sedan to a high performance AMG car which happens to be a sedan.

S550
I ordered S550 BRABUS PACKAGE

Ok I have decided to order the S550 full brabus package, they can add it to the lease payments.

That's great, they would take in my E55 for 69,000. Is that an ok price? It's a 2005 silver with hardly any options on it. Right about 5000 miles.

I will be getting the S550 in march at sticker price plus the brabus package. S class is S class plus I have never had an S class before.

I'll post pictures once I get the car. They said it will have the brabus kit when it arrives. I chose black on black.

Very Cool. I don't think that $69K is a great trade-in - but I suppose that if you didn't have alot of options on the car that it's not a horrible one.... I've seen pics of the Brabus kit on the car at the show in Dubai - .

And yeah, they'll have Brabus do the work at their headquarters factory in Germany before puting it on the boat over here I guess. Cool.

Good for You!

If you don't mind, what was the markup for the Brabus package? I've seen an exterior shot for the W221 so I have an idea of what the exterior appearance changes include. Does it also include interior and/or engine mods?

S550
The package includes, Front bumper, Rear bumper ( WITH LED ), Side skirts ( WITH LED ), Dual Fog lights on the front bumper, Exhuast, and 20 inch rims. Thats the package I got from them.

They charged me 18,000. It's not that much I called brabus north america they charge the same. Plus this goes into the lease payments so therefore I am not that worried about it.

I asked for engine modifications but they said they have none avaliable for the 550s at the moment.

I went last weekend to look at the S550 for my wife. When she saw it she was not at all thrilled; said it looked like an old man's car or a Hudson. She ended up falling in love with an E55--- fully loaded white with the pano roof. It is all a matter of preference.

Congrat's ! One of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen...especially with that kit. I am definitely going to line up purchase for a used one when it drops to my price level....say 2015 !
