First S550 I've seen for $35K outside of an Auction. I'll throw in that you are missing out on the true potential of the S550 if you buy one with few options.

No wonder for a 82K miles with no options

Just goes to prove why a clean low mileage optioned car is going for $50's...

yeah, no parktronic, looks very base. and miles are very very high. Although Benzes are known to last forever if they are well maintained. Not bad for a second S class... Hmmmm..... =)

also in an area where there are a lot of S classes, so the supply is def. high and drive the prices down. if it's an accident free car with clean record not a bad deal at all.

emilner

I for one would not buy an S with that many miles. High mileage S classes have serious maintenance concerns, especially when you have no idea how well the car was treated. Just changing the airbags alone is $4k+. The price isn't terrible, but for a little more your can get a better car....

Hey Ed, everytime you quote a price for a piece of the s550 I clench my stomach like someone just socked me in it lol.

I second this, watch out for 65k+ S-classes considering you have no knowledge of how they have been maintained and treated throughout the current lifecycle.

there's always a tradeoff buying a used car -- risk of wear and tear and related inconvenience v. money in the bank -- I think this sides on the risky side a little too far. 82k miles is asking for a major mechanical issue given the electronics in the car.
