2010 S550 good deal 51,900??
Black w/cashmere interior CPO 44,000 miles, P2 package, rear blinds, and sport package. I'm not sure what this model year is selling for now, but this seems like a fair deal to me. Please chime in if the asking price is out of line. Thanks!!

That sound like a very good price, depending on condition. The lighter colored interiors (ash, cashmere) seem to show a lot of upholstery wear so examine the front seat wear areas closely. Pics?
The ask on my 2010 with Pano, AMG, Nightvision, with 44k miles was $58k and we ended up at $54k. Buy the full CPO extended warranty.

seems to me that w cpo cars for an extra 1-2k you can get a car with close to half those miles. I would say if you do 12k a yr nxt yr that car has 56-58k miles and is getting up there.

Yeah, they're out there and if you come across one grab it. My prior W220 was 7 years old when I bought it in 2011 with only 34,000 miles on it. Definitely nice to see that low odo every day and know you've got that extra time ahead of you. On a CPO car I know I'm going to run out of months before I go over on miles, and since MB is fixing everything that breaks, I don't sweat the mileage as much. I'm more interested in condition, color and options at that point.

Yep. The way I look at it is... This one had 11k on it. When it's time to sell, lower mileage will be worth more. I really wanted one with low miles and got lucky.

It was an excellent deal. The price is in the title of this thread 
with one year CPO. Then add the two cpo on top. You can find that for around $3,400

I'm surprised that everyone is really concerned with miles on the S class. I own a 09 e320 diesel and 13 ml350 diesel and miles don't concern us but then again these are not 100k plus cars either. I don't like buying cars every 2-3 years but more like every 6-7 years. I spend a lot of time driving on highway so the S550 will add more comfort vs my E class but at an added cost I do not mind paying for. Seems like a majority of people sell car when their warranty expires, but I plan on keeping this car for at least 5 years after purchase.

everyones concerned on miles because that's what sells bmws and Benzs, high mileage cars are worthless on the secondary mkt. I try to get as low miles and best condition I can find so when I sell the car is still low miles and more desireable than most out there.

If you want to get an idea of the expected repair costs over a three year period, get a quote on a W221 from any reputable 3rd party warranty company. For an 08 or 09 with average mileage a 36-48 month warranty runs $12,000 to $15,000.

Brave man. The problem with the S is that while depreciation can knock 50% off the original price in three years, the cost of parts and labor to fix them doesn't drop a cent. You can easily spend another 50% of the value of the car in common repairs that you'll never recover at resale. Granted you may get lucky, but it's a big gamble.

I don't think necessarily it's just "this car". ML's and E's break too and their parts can be just as expensive. When any Benz breaks, it's can cost ya. In general. Some break, some don't.
