2010 S63
09 S550 09 S63 OR 2010 S550

Okay so i guess as you can see I'm interested in either one of those three cars. My problem is i Don't know witch to get ? i know the 63 is a completely different animal from the rest but here is how i came up with all those choices.....

ok so i figured 09 are pretty much considered left overs and i can get a good deal on them. i am trying to lease my next mbz, i want my payments to be no more than $2000 a month with minimum down.

i know i can get a left over 09 s550 completely loaded for well under $2000, but if i go with either an 09 s63 or a 2010 s550 with the deal i can get on the 63 i think i can be in the 2k range i don't think i can get a major discount on the 2010 s550. i talked to my dealer at caliber motors in ananheim and he was giving 25-26k off s63's so maybe he can squeez a little more out of them since the 2010 models are on thier way to the dealership.


tell me what you guys think.

thanks in advance.

those are kinda personal decisions.

My vote is for the 09 S63. The sound of the exhaust will please your ears and the $20 grand or so leftover will please your wallet.

09 63! Will give you way more smiles per hour and a nice savings on discount. The body package/wheels/brakes/safety are vastly superior and will help set you a little apart from the crowd. Personally I don't think the 10 is an improvement.

out of those three...09 S63 if you can afford it.

Of course, W221 S65 is the best car in the world (unless you live in Europe with $8 gas). Just my opinion and just my luck they're out of my price range right now.

Ooooh Yeah

09 S63 - no question.

Trust me - I bought an S550 and sold it 6 months later

Don't know about S550's but I did see a brand new 09 S600 for $30,000 off MSRP. $122,900. A fully loaded S550 approaches that figure.

PM me if you want to know where it is/was. It may have sold already as it vanished off of eBay last I checked. I'm sure that deal could be duplicated anywhere in the states.

Wow! So many of you recommend S63 over S550. Is it really so much better?

No it just costs $30k so you can say you paid $30k more </sarcasm>

He can pay me and still brag about paying more
No seriously, is it so much different? I park next to S65 and CL63, should I ask my neighbours to take me for a ride?

Any driving fanatic can enjoy many/most aspects of 65 at legal or civilized speeds

Deep bolsters/ergonomics of sport seats
Thickness and grippiness of sport steering wheel rim
Elegant, fine-grained leather, carbon fiber, Alcantara finishes throughout, even subtle areas like rear shelf
Music of exhaust note...wonderful balance of intimidation and elegance
More precise brake pedal feel and more powerful brakes
More precise, stable chassis esp in any emergent high-speed maneuver
Legendary tq (65 makes 63 seem like an underpowered Prius)

65s are far more costly in EU than in US but Germany has some of world's smoothest roads, speed-derestricted ABs and high-octane fuel....if it had CA weather, Germany would truly be nirvana for 65 driving

Go for the S63 or if you can swing it the S600 will blow it away.
