Time's Winding Down...

So time's winding down on this E-class lease to be over and we're hopefully jumping into an S550, if not an LS460L.

I was going over the options and which are the most essential ones one should have. I was looking at the rear seat package. Who on this forum has that? Is it worth it??

We have the rear seat package on the S550. It comes with 4 zone climate control, and fully adjustable rear seats on both sides. It also comes with heated and cooled rear seats. Is it necessary? You bet it is. It takes comfort to a whole new level.

On long trips its one of the best damn features of being in the back. Take the S550 over the LS460l. You will appreciate it much more.

Get ABC...expensive but worth it and along with that the Multi Contour seats with massage. That combo makes a long trip shorter. Also the Trunk Closer...use it all the time.

P2A
ABC
Multicontour Seats
DRvM (dynamic rearview monitor)
RSP (Rear seat package)
ETC
Ventilated Seats
Premium leather if you really want.

a must or dont even bother. I would only buy a S 600 if it came with a MB (no aftermarket stuff ) sports package. ( Thats money permitting ofcourse. )

At this time very few dealers order S550 with ABC.

The supply on most S550 is down due to the increased demand accross the world.
