Hi everyone,
I am a new member as I just purchased a new s550 about a month ago and it is by far the best car I have driven yet. I bought a P1 car because they actually had some at the dealer ready to buy and I had a lease that was due. I actually intended on buying a 750Li because the mercedes we're on such backorder. I was fortunate enough to go to another dealer, Mercedes-Benz of Pompano (the best dealership I have ever been to by the way), and they actually had a few in stock. Anyway, I am planning on ordering with time an S600 designo with piano laquer, but I wanted to know when mercedes will bring in the RSEs. Thank you!

Oh! And by the way

I will put some pictures up soon. It is really an amazing car. I took it up to Jacksonville, Orlando, and Tampa recently on a trip. It was incredibly fast and responsive for passing trucks. All I can say is that I have to agree that it's definetely the best car on the market.

Jayhawk

You're welcome.

I'm sorry about the "your welcome", but to make it up I have some pictures to post:

...And last, but not least are my two brand new jet skis:



The red one is supercharged to 215 hp.

Thank you!

Oh, I saw that u drive a Launch Edition. They had a used one with 400 miles at the dealership for $120,000. It was extremely nice in every aspect. I almost even decided to buy it even though it was well over MSRP but I opted to just be patient and wait for the S600's. But congratulations on picking such a nice car. The Designo Graphite is an incredible exterior color. Also the interior is the same two tone as my Escalade. Once again u have one of the hottest rides out there.

Can someone please help me about the rear seat entertainment though? I would like to know when this:



will be available in the States. Thank you!

Jayhawk

Thank you for the pics!

ZZ Top is good traveling music!!

I can't believe a used Launch car for 120K. Thanks, it's a great car and I got it for a little below MSRP.

The RSE is available here. I had an opportunity to get a car with it but I opted for the Launch Edition instead as I usually occupy the left front seat!!!!!

Your welcome. It's available "here", as in New Jersey and as in the system from the factory? Oh, and its for my kids by the way. Although, I do hope that once my son gets his driver's license in about a month that I finally can occasionally enjoy the amazing rear seats of the car. From the driver's seat though, it is an incredibly fast car too. I found it extremely effortless and exciting to pass the big rigs on my last trip (In a safe and controlled way of course). Anyway, if u can please elaborate and thank you very much; you might just have made my day with your revelation. Once again, thank you!

Tony

tonybeachguy

You're right about that!

Jayhawk

Are you serious? You bought you 15 year old son a new $120K S550??

Have you taken leave of your senses???

tonybeachguy

I think that you misunderstood or I improperly presented it. The tv's would be for my kids to watch, primarily for my daughter, the youngest of 3 kids. I hope that that clarifies everything.

Tony

Jayhawk

Oh good! I did missunderstand. I was about to ask you to adopt me...

Tony, you seem to be the "politest" person on this forum, what with the profusion of thank-you's and you're-welcome's.

Welcome aboard and congratulations on the new S550!

I was also a little bit concerned to hear the young son/new driver bit, but I trust you have something else for your son to practice on before getting his hands on the S-class. Anyway, seems like you and your family have a wonderful new ride.

tonybeachguy

I would have done the same if I knew a parent who would do that.

Tony

This is going to sound redundant, but thank you for all of your compliments. It's hard being polite in a city like Miami. Actually, my son has been driving allongside me on the 25 minute morning commute to his school. I trust him, as he is a very mature 16 year old. He is an excellent driver and has mastered Comand. He even drove the s550 for a few hours on our recent trip. Here he is actually at his birthday party a few weeks ago with the girl I guess that he's trying to get. I plan on buying him a 2002 cl500 or something like it. He's been a great son and has helped me in my real estate endeavors. I might even let him take the s550 or escalade out whenever he wants for dates or whatever. Anyway, Thank you once again!

There is no firm date but RSE will be available as an option on US W221s later this year.
