2007 S600
Purchased a 07 S600

Been reading through the w221 forum

a bit overwhelmed, lots of good info.

I have a few question that are not clear after searching. I hope you guys don't mind.

Extended warrenty:
I have been having an issue finding an extended warranty for the S600 can someone point out a good one, I ready on here about fidelity but then i read else where that it's not a good one.

Tires
can anyone recommend some affordable good brands.

General
any advice what I should do first to help maintain and enjoy my s600 experience


Thanks for any advice

Can't really help you with your questions but wanted to welcome you to the forums! Just curious, what size tires are they?

Just curious, why shell extra for a S600 when you can just get an S550. Is it for the bigger engine? Or because they are fully loaded?

In my opinion it would only make sense if you like more power but dont want the sporty looking S63

I wanted a v12, I have wanted one for awhile so when the opportunity presented itself, i was fighting between this on a Bently GT i went with the cheaper of the two options which also happens to have better reviews

Why not go with an S63?

Why did you buy your car? Seriously, he bought what he wanted. Nice car BTW, I like the "sleeper" look over the AMG but that's just my opinion.

LOL, thank you. I have to be honest I never thought about AMG vs Non AMG i saw the car it was a good deal and I brought, Like i said the only other car i considered was the Bently GT. So far i like the car and I also like the sleeper look as well, I know what I got under the hood.

Just curious. I have always wondered why people buy S600 since its a lot more expensive then a regular car,and I finally got a chance to ask an owner.

LoL, the next time I see a S600 I will ask the same question.

Never question how other folks spend their cash-money.
