I've been looking for months for just the right used S550 and can't seem to find it anywhere. A question that I have is whether all S550's have adjustable ride height or is that only with the ABC option? Also, how can I tell in a picture if it does have adjustable ride height, is there a button somewhere (I assume there has to be) and where is it located?

Here's what I'm looking for if anyone knows where this car might be:
2007 S550, Black exterior, Black interior, AMG/Sport pkg, rear seat package, panoramic sunroof, wood steering wheel, power rear side shades, P3 pkg:night vision, rear camera, parktronic, keyless go, dynamic/massage seats. I'd like for it to be under 50k miles and under $50k.

I can't seem to find one with all of this. Anyone know if some of my options were not available together (like rear seat pkg not available w/pano roof)?
I should be ready to buy after I sell one of our vehicles.

4matic has ride height adjustment - normal and approx. 1" higher. It is used to add clearance to clear snow drifts. There is a button on the left of the large COMMAND screen with a small icon. It is either off (normal) or on (car height raised).

Not what you are looking for but I just wanted to point it out.

All S-Classes have adjustable ride height regardless of whether or not it's ABC equipped. The non-ABC S-Classes have Airmatic, which also has comfort and sport settings.

IMO, it's going to be very difficult, if not impossible to find a used S550 with all those options. For maybe about $10k extra, you could upgrade to an S600 which will have all the options you're looking for, plus ABC (which is the better suspension option), and not to mention that almighty powerful V12.

I'd love to have a 600 but I think it's just a little too far out of my range right now.
I've found a guy in ATL that tends to buy cars that are very close to what I'm looking for. He has one that has all but the pano and has a gray interior instead of black. Mileage is a little higher but the price is ok.

Thank you both for the replies, they were helpful.

Sorry to say that, but I think even if the car like this will be for sale - it'll cost close to $58-$60K. If you wanna purchase this car for under $50K - you have to wait till...at least July - August of 2010...
I quess - even wholesale price for the car with those options will be about $50K or a little more.
Good luck anyway ...

I think the color combo is the hardest of all along with the rear seat pkg. At that price you'll definitely have to pick it up at the auction but problem being that black/black tends to be the most desireable ones for export hence usually means higher pricing.

Agree, go for a 600 if you want the rear seat package and other options you are looking for. It's rare to find a 550 loaded like that, although I found that the 08-09 designo editions seem to have lots of those bells and whistles too.

Or you can get MBenzNL to upgrade your stock S550 to have whatever options you want. It is possible... just need $$$
