Presidential??

Anybody know what's different about this car vs a "regular" 600? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2009-...item335b8ad222

The Presidential edition was a special designation offered to one particular individual to take part in a situation he knows nothing about without any experience whatsoever and has no way of ever possibly paying for it. It was originally issued as a 2008 model, black exterior, some white inside, but all in all a total waste of time and money. Comes with a 4 year, $1.8 trillion (per year) warranty which is then followed by catastrophic failure, no 4 year warranty extensions are available at the end of the original warranty. Certainly a unique design, never to be repeated (we hope)....

Presidential is probably some rediculous label the seller put in place. This car looks like a Designo color combination.

Makes no sense, but Mercedes-Benz does have these obscure "Presidential" AMG models.

A friend of mine had a "Presidential" AMG CLS Class, and it had a red interior.

They thought they could fool everyone into going for this edition. Unfortunately, the lemmings fell for it - perceived style and impressive engine note, fooled the ignorant and uninformed....

I didn't know US models could get granite? It's a beautiful combination of colors on the inside.

What I saw is a regular S600 with designo interior, you can get the same interior on S550 for extra about $12k

Not to be repeated??!! When all the "automotive" media are constantly kissing this model's butt 24/7 and the coastal residents comparing this model to the second coming of christ its hard not to see it again in '12....when the US implement VAT and GST like our neighbor up north

It was bought back from MB as a lemon due to a defect in the airmatic system (kept losing air overnight)...

I guess I was mistaken. Some idiot wound up issuing an extended warranty- they'll cover anything these days.....
