Was the S400 an answer to a question no one has asked?
see thread "2010 S400 what can you really get for it" which implies they are worth $22-25,000.
I think the consensus is "Get an S550"

Yeah, there's nothing sexy about a V6 in an S Class. At least the diesel is both exotic and a good performer, especially in low end torque. Really the "right" engine for the car is probably the TTV8 in the 12 and 13

Saw a CPO 2010 S400 with 47k miles at San Francisco M-B. Asking $36,970. I believe the S400 is just an S350 with a "light" hybrid system to improve mileage. And the improvement is not that great and they seem to be generally unloved...

I thought there was a gas 350. I fixed my comment. The gas 3.5L prior to the new 2012 GDI engine was not a gas saver. We had an 2009 E350 and averaged about 19mpg with about 70% highway driving. The new GDI 3.5 is supposed to average 23mpg (19 city/29 hwy). We haven't had ours long enough to know...
