2009 s550 vs 2008 s550
Hi All,
I would like to know if there are any significant difference between the 2009 s550 and the 2008 s550.
I'm trying to get the following, and not sure how much it's worth in California. Please help me negotiate:
2008 S550V
040 Black
201 Black Leather
P02 P02 Premium II: Parktronic, Heated and A
220 : Parktronic
401 : Heated and Active Ventilated Front Seats
881 : Electronic Trunk Closer
889 : Keyless Go
057 iPod Integration Kit
289 Wood/Leather Steering Wheel
321 321 AMG Sport-Package
770 : 19" AMG 5-Spoke Wheel
772 : AMG Bodystyling
Thank you in advance.

- Wood/Leather steering wheel is standard
- S550 with 19" wheels now include All-season tires
- 18" 7 split-spoke wheel (23R) now standard on S550
- shift paddles instead of shift buttons
- new window switches (push/pull) to comply with new US regulations
- 1 touch closing with Pano Sunroof
- HOLD convenience braking function
Equally equipped, the 09 S is about $3k cheaper than the 08 S. And the 09 can be had at a pretty good discount. Know this when you compare to a depreciated 08.

I hate to quote specific discounts because every dealer has its own pricing policies. And I'm not sure I believe all of the 08 discount claims to begin with. But running the numbers, the 09, with its smaller discount, was the better financial decision over the depreciated 08 model year with its bigger discount, but lower value. It would also depend on how long you plan to keep the car. I'm always 2, and out.

08' Black S550, AMG pack, P3
for Sept, 10K marketing support and 3% interest for 60 months, on top of the usual dealer mark downs. Not so sure about 09. P2 for 09 includes rear cam. check at edmunds.com
