S550
Hi! I'm a new PROUD owner of 2007 S550
as my C300 recently got stolen, so now yesterday I bought 2007 Mercedes S550 - P2 & P3 with Distronic Plus package, and also bluetooth module & iPod integration kit, heated steering wheel, with 22K miles. I got it for $53K after taxes with 1 yr Tele-Aid.
Is that good deal? I think so.
If anything important about S550 that I should know, please tell me! Merci beaucoup.

As I stated on another thread, your car is loaded, and you don't see too many S550s with P3 and Distronic Plus. You got a great price! Congrats!

Congrats...you're driving a car that's better engineered than 99+% of cars in world, no matter price
IMO, one of most important options on 550 (that few have) is ABC....transforms car's chassis precision/stability
Many on this Board have moved from 550 to 63 or 600 or 65....it's all relative; no one "needs" any of these cars; they are each marvelous masterpieces of engineering that one can enjoy for both daily transportation and entertainment...drive them each to judge for self
One warning: it's often painful to ever go back to underpowered, less luxurious cars after accustomed to MB V12s....recently drove a colleague's CL63 030 briefly and was astonished by how underpowered it felt (despite its loud exhaust note), even in routine fwy driving....until last Fall, I drove a CL63 030 for >16K mis, but clearly have become addicted to 65's tq and now refuse to ever own anything but an AMG V12

But there's certainly nothing wrong with a S550 either - especially not when it comes with all options.

Sounds like a great deal. BTW - the S600 has every option as standard equipment, so when you add that in, the price difference is not quite as bad.
I have been looking at an S550 as well. Currently have an E320 CDI and love it.
