Wishfull thinking.....

Sorry guys I was going by memory when I said my 600 was getting 17mph.
I checked this morning on my way in to office and for the last 4800 miles its 14.7mpg.

Oh well I obviously didn't buy it to save the earth.
I do recycle though.

Stitched leather everywhere imaginable... Doors, dash, and not to mention it's a much finer texture and less grainy, and also softer, IMO.
(The only way to get equivalent type of leather on an S550 is to order a Designo model)

You also get a little bit more wood in a 600.

Every option is standard. (Except the AMG Sport package which isn't available in the US)

Is that good deal? I think so.

If anything important about S550 that I should know, please tell me! Merci beaucoup.
I just purchased a similarly equiped S550 for $65,000 (AMG package, 4Matic, etc). The differences are as follows: 2008, CPO'ed with one year extra warranty, 19,000 miles. You got a very good deal!
