Just a thought, I would hold out for a 2008 or later. 2007 was the first year and I have heard quite a few bad things (in addtion to the transmission).

2005 was the first year of production for the W221 body. I don't know this engine but the other typical issues are pretty minor.

2007 was the first model year of the s550 & the 7 speed transmission had some issues. Play it safe & purchase an extended warranty & you will be fine. Enjoy

My 2007 S550, bought in summer of 2006, has no malfunctions with almost 80k miles. My friend's 2008 S550 with same mileage was in the shop for airmatic problems. So... yeah just bad luck I guess lol. Can't tell you to expect very much except check history or known abuses from previous owner if any.
