Is that right? How do you know it's less expensive/hassle to maintain than the S600? The car he's looking at has most of the options that come standard on the S600, except for ABC and Nightview. The M278 engine has much less of a history than the 5.5 V12 which has been around since 2003, so long term reliability is hard to determine yet. I can maybe see your point with ABC as it has a history of more leaks than Airmatic, but what else makes the S600 more expensive or hassle than the car the OP is purchasing? And with it being CPO'd, why would any of that even matter?

hey dave
see what i mean about the designo interiors? they might be tougher to keep clean but it's pure class in the cabin. works better in a warmer year round climates though.


OG poster enjoy it's a beauty!

Sweet car, interior looks amazing! Naturally I would be concerned with keeping the white seats clean but that car is too pretty not to get. I would have them remove the wing though.

I know, they're like unicorns or something. My favorite interior combo though. I will say back when I was shopping used CL's I saw the Porcelain Designo interior quite often.
