do all s550s come with the power rear and side blinds? i was @ the dealership today and on one option list it listed the power rear and side blinds and on the other it did not, but my dealer insisted it was standard on every S?

Can Drive 55

From MBUSA build your own - Power Side Window Sunblinds $700. So, I would say that the sales person was most likely in error.

I believe the rear blind is standard, but the rear side blinds are an option.

wman

correct, rear srandard, sides optional on the 550 standard on the 600

alright cool thanx fellas, 1 more question, my dealer has an andorite grey 550 with grey interior as the demo car and it is very well equipped almost fully equipped besides the rear reclining seats the sticker on it was $105k it has 2000 miles on it and it has only been driven by the owner of the dealership, my sales man said they would let me purchase it for $89k , is that a good buy or should i go for a new 550?

I think sticker on a car with everything but the rear seat package should be closer to 109-110, shouldn't it? What else doesn't it have?

Regardless, figure a new car with a 105k sticker should go about 98-99k? So $10k less for a demo car with 2,000 miles. That doesn't sound too bad to me. But I've never bought a demo before. I don't know if I believe that a demo car was driven by no one other than the owner.

I guess it also depends on what options you want. It sounds like the car is missing something else besides the rear seat pkg, though. Maybe ABC? Depends on if the Rear Seat Package or the other feature is important to you.

im not sure eddie, it might be missing ABC and maybe something else not really that important to me, my sales rep did tell me it has pano roof, night view assist, rear blinds and side blinds, P2 package, amg package, heated steering wheel, and those are really the most important options to me. im going in on tuesday to look @ the car, hopefully bringing it home too....

Cool! Congratulations on a good find.

I looked all over the country, literally, for an Andorite Grey S550 myself. Different dealers, btw, "found" different cars in their search which was interesting. But no one found the essentials I wanted, so I get to wait.

Mrkhan347

yea i think i got extremly lucky finding this car, its rare you get a very very well stocked s550 for 16k off sticker with only 1700 miles on it...hopefully 2morro i can post some pix for you guys

If that was the Factory sticker and not the Dealer sticker it sounds like it has it all but one option. My S550 was 105 with every (incl Night Vision, Distronic Plus, and Rear Camera) option with the exception of the AMG body kit. Since AMG is a very common option, it' possible you don't have one option. Either way it sounds like a great deal because I picked my S550 up on 12/28, and I only go got a couple of thousand off. And the fact that it had 2000 miles on it is minor.

Really? The sticker on my car is nearly 107 and I passed on all the following:

AMG package
Panorama Roof
iPod integration
Wood/leather steering wheel
Any of the wheel upgrades
And of course the designo packs

Exluding designo, I think a full optioned S550 nowadays in the US probably has an MSRP around $115k or so (including AMG). Crazy, huh?

For point of reference, my ordered Black Opal/Savanna Cashmere has the following options:

P2 pkg
AMG Sport pkg
Dynamic Rear Monitor
Premium Leather
Power Rear Side Window Blinds
Drive Dynamic Front Seats
ABC
Trunk Closer
iPod Integration
Heated Steering Wheel

With the $1,000 gas guzzler, the MSRP was $105,800.00, purchase price at $100,000.00.

eddietr

Nice color! I didn't realize you were getting that.

Yeah, my MSRP was 106,7xx (can't remember the exact figure). Purchase price is too much (103,200)

Options are:

P2 pkg
ABC
Distronic Plus
Rear Seat Pkg
Night View
Dynamic rear View
Heated steering wheel
Drive Dynamic Seats
Premium Leather
Rear Side window blinds
Trunk Closer

Wow, you and I have vastly similar option boxes checked off!

Thanks for the compliment on the color, it's one I've loved for a long time though I did swear once I'd never get another car in black or near-black color with the climate in the northeast and those 'salty' months. I saw the color on a W210 E-class long ago at the autoshow in Toronto when I lived there, and it was a very lively color under the lights so my wife suggested that I get it this time.

What color combination did you order? I'm looking forward to seeing the Savanna Cashmere in the premium leather in my car when it arrives. The dealer promised me info for a committed production slot this week...keeping my fingers crossed.

Mrkhan347

well it looks like this deal is tooo goood to pass up, i was @ my dealer and he is holding the car for me, and i will hopefully have it before weeks end

eddietr

Yeah, I don't have any hard info on production week yet either. I ended up going with Andorite and Grey interior.

You'll love the black opal. My brother-in-law has an e-class in that color, and I always admire it.

eddietr

Fantastic! Congratulations. I look forward to the pics.

So which options does the car have?
