Question Launge Package ??

Can anyone tell me what the Launge package is ?

I'm considering buying this 07 S550 with 6K miles that has the "Launge Package".

Can anyone provide any info on this ??. I was told the car ran for about 110K new.

Thanks in advance

the "Launch" package is a clever marketting tool....oh, and it includes some subtle and expensive touches on an already great car in the case of the S550.

Launch package is a great way to trick consumers into buying first year model cars.

How much ?

What do you guys think something like this would cost ?

It has the Panarama roof, night vision, I'm sure it has more stuff than this ?

, I have a good customer in my dealer looking to sell it.

yup

Yes I did.

I didn't fully decide on the CLS yet. I own a detailing place on OH, quite frequently I get these customers looking to offload their cars.

Thats how I bought the S500. Now I have one that really wants to get rid of this S550. Told him I will think about it.

I would only buy, if I know I can sell it and make some $$ on it.

The S550 has the pano roof in the Launch Edition, the S550 4Matic Launch Ed does not. Here's the full contents of the Launch Edition, so far as I know:

P88 Launch Edition: Seating: premium almond beige leather upholstery, heated/ventilated/massaging front bucket seats. Equipment: power tilt/telescoping wood/leather-wrapped steering wheel with cabin controls, night-vision system, automatic remote keyless entry/start, rear skylight, rear side sunshades. Entertainment: satellite radio. Cabin features: designo oak wood & premium two-tone leather interior trim, starter button, special badging. Exterior: special metallic graphite paint, 9-twin-spoke alloy wheels. Safety: front/rear obstacle-detection system, rearview camera. (S550 = $13,500. 1000 PRODUCED.)

P88 4Matic Launch Edition: Seating: premium almond beige leather upholstery, heated/ventilated/massaging front bucket seats. Equipment: power tilt/telescoping wood/leather-wrapped steering wheel with cabin controls, automatic remote keyless entry/start. Entertainment: satellite radio. Cabin features: designo oak wood & premium two-tone leather interior trim, starter button, special badging. Exterior: special metallic graphite paint, 9-twin-spoke alloy wheels. Safety: front/rear obstacle-detection system, rearview camera. (S550 4Matic = $9150. 1000 PRODUCED.)

Matching does not neccessarily mean the exact same.

I meant the way the photos were taken. The S550 Launch Edition "Denebola" wheels were from MBUSA.com whereas my avatar was a picture I took of my SLR model.

Statements of fact cannot be classified as an "insult."

I beg to differ: No one likes you.







To the other posters: When was the S550 4MATIC Launch Edition introduced? I don't recall ever hearing about it until recently when reading through a 4matic thread.

Don't try to change the subject. You "beg" too much. Why not just get it right the first time and you don't have to beg. If you didn't spend so much time worrying about what other people think, you might be a descent individual. Get a life!

He is a trifle caustic, isn't he?

Anyhoo... the Launch Edition was introduced (as the name suggests) when the S550 first came to market. It's a limited-run model, like I noted before, and they were all sold mono-spec; you got the S550, the contents of the Launch Edition package, and that's it. M-B has done this with the '05 SLK, the '06 CLS, and the '07 S-Class, along with a Premier Edition of the GL-Class that is essentially the same thing.
