3 weeks old 2008 S550 4 Matic AMG Sport P3

I just leased a 2008 S550 4Matic AMG Sport P3 package Flint Gray/Blk for my wife but after 2 weeks she said it is too big for her therefore I want to sell the car. The car has 800 miles now. The MSRP was $104,120 and I am now asking $74,000 and we would do the transaction through a auto dealer so the paperwork will be taken care of. The vehicle is in absolute brand new condition. Email me for pictures:jshaw1022@yahoo.com

wow that sucks big time! Did she drive it before you bought it or was it intended to be a surprise? How will you get out of a lease and then sell it to someone else? I did not think that was possible so early in the term? I guess anything is possible if your willing to pay for it.

Good luck...

can't you keep it as your daily ride or are you driving something else better? Maybe you can get a bailout from the govt? They seem to be handing them out on regular basis! Good luck getting rid of it for a decent price so you dont take it on the chin too much.

I sent you an email asking for photos.
I have interest, although Flint Gray would not be my color of choice.

@Furuso@ assuming you went MSRP out the door, it's really bad to take a 30,000 $ loss, especially in these economic conditions.


Am I correct the PP 3 includes rear A/C massage seats?? If so, you have one of the few S 550s in this combination around, I could not find a single S 550 with rear A/C seats on ebay last week. Perhaps that could encourage your sale to happen sooner.

happy new year.

Why dont you try to swap the lease for another car saving you alot of money, i forgot the name of the website that offers lease swapping, i am sure someone here can help with that. It should save you alot of money if you can get someone to pick up the lease....good luck to you

thanks BW1

thank you, didn't know that - good to have a salesman on board.
So in that case i've not seen many s 550 with the rear seat package # 325.

Have you seen many persons ordering package # 325 on S 550's??

Best wishes

Very few S550s with Rear seat package, most people don't want to pay for it. Only way to get massage seats in the rear is to get an S600 or S65 to my knowledge.

I have sold a lot of #325 equipped S550s, but 2WD and W4. You tend to see a lot of brokers purchasing those cars.

W4 is MB speak for 4Matic. Except it should really be V there. W is German for Wagen, which is sedan. V is the code for long wheelbase which every S-Class sold in the US is. So a 4Matic S-Class would be S550V4 and a rear wheel drive would be S550V.
