2008 S550 - Need People's Thoughts

I like the 2007 and or 2008 S550 because it's in my price range, I want a Black and Tan one, and I would like something a little different than everyone else is driving. This seems to fit the bill. My concerns are that it is no being sold through a MB dealership. The Car Fax looks strange to me as there is not much on it. It is not being sold with a warranty - so i they would add a warranty for $$$$$. Please let me know your thoughts.. The 2nd link takes you to the car fax

Both are nice, but with the second one you lose the designo interior, rear view camera, blind spot assist, pano roof, dynamic seats, distronic, rear seat package, heated steering wheel, and sunblind for the rear doors. However the second one is lower in price and you may be able to talk the dealer down further. Also, be aware that both cars are different shades of black. The first is more of a mocha black which will look like a very dark brown in some shades of light while the second is a true black.

thanks
appreciate the comments, didn't realize that the 2nd one did not have a camera, how much you think it costs to add a camera? i dont really care about most of the other things i would be missing

Something else I noticed about the S550 in the second link. It's advertised as having hands free communication, but the bluetooth module is not present. Perhaps it's still available in the car somewhere, but if you check the car out, I would ask about it.

I recently got an '08 S550 here in LA, black, fully optioned (Premium 2 package) and an outstanding 24K miles only! Got it as a CPO so my warranty is good till Jan. 2014. I do plan on getting another extended 2 years for $4,500. My point is, with the 2014 model coming out..the used market is getting saturated with the pre-facelifted S 550s. I got mine for $47K..If you look harder..You can even find an '09 model for roughly the same price. Mind you, there are alot of '08, '09's out there with sub 25K mileage. So be patient and look around. Good luck.

found another one
this one is certified from MB- the Car Fax says 4 owners, the dealer says it only had 2 owners as the owner moved states.

curious as to everyone's thoughts here? thsi one is 5k cheaper than the 08 and is certified. The Car Fax makes me nervous but the MB dealer is jumping up and down claiming it was only owned by 2 people, and one of the owners was at the start for a brief period of time- he claims the owner of this car owned it from 08 to present
