My new 600

First time posting pictures so I hope it works. The pictures are not very good but the light is not good here either. I'll take better pictures later. But so far I will say this car is amazing. I like it much better than the 05 S600. It even appears to have more power. It is smoother for sure.

Radar detector

Thanks.
The dealer told me that you cannot install the front/rear radar detector in these cars since it interferes with the distronic. Anyone else here of that?

I did go for that Xzilon coating... not sure if its a gimmic or not but it looks good for now.

Oh and one more thing.. My arm gets pinched in the automatic locks if I have my arm out the window. That's about the only complaint I have.

NevadaJack,
That background setting on your picture is so nice it looks fake. We just don't have backgrounds like that here in NJ. I can put a rundown broken window factory behind my car, but not a nice tropical setting like that.
These cars look great in White!

I was born in NJ and left when I was 19 to join the Navy and I agree there are not too many "tropical settings" but there are some nice beach scenes. We have beaches (sand) but very little water...:-)

With that car any background looks good...!

Terrible for now. I think I have 140 miles on it and it used almost a full tank. I'm thinking it gets better though. Worth every penny. And I really like the greatly improved massaging seats. Now they really work unlike the lame 2005 model massage seats

Another little complaint:
The integrated Ipod does not display any info on that nice big command screen. It only displays behind the steering wheel

Not really a good deal at all since I got killed on my 05 trade in.
I think they gave me like $65,000 on the trade in and it only had 11K miles.
This time I leased though so no surprises in a couple of years when It's time for a new one.

OUCH! $65K for an 11K mile 2005 S600?
Isnt that....... robbery? I just went on KBB.com and based your car on Excellent condition.

2005 S600 w/ 11K Miles
The Trade In Value is $84,650.

The Suggested RETAIL price of your car is $104,020 on KBB.COM

The price for a PRIVATE PARTY SALE is $94,180

I dont think any dealers will give you $84,000 on a trade in unless they inflate the price on your new purchase.

Beautiful S600. Don't like those particular wheels though.

You could always use imageshack.us or photobucket.com to upload pics.

I agree aswell, I had the option to order those particular rims on my vehicle and I declined, I just love the stock ones too much to replace them with the optional 19s.

I had the 550 on order forever and the dealer called me to tell me about the 600 that just came in so I grabbed it. I also like the stock wheels but these are nice too.

Try ImageShack. http://imageshack.us/ It's free and you can put as many pics there as you like.

Here is an example of my wife's car...She rarely lets me drive it. Of course these pics need to be sized down a bit for this Forum but you get the idea.
