2011 Possible Purchase
I think I may have found one. It's 2011 in color Designo Magno Alanite Grey Matte with 39,000 on the odo for $44,000. Per the datacard card has Premium 2, Rear Seat Adjustment, Rear Seat Climate control, AC in the rear, Panoramic sunroof and 19" AMG wheels with Sport Package. One thing I'm concerned about is that it's been at this one dealership for over 181 days.
Is there anything to be cautious of being that it has sat so long? Thanks.

Looks like it's sitting on a Honda dealer's used car lot. Probably won't find a lot of buyers for a $44k used Benz on that lot. This probably gives you good leverage in working out a deal.

LOL!!!! Did you match up the VIN number that the OP didn't provide to you with whatever auction data you might have? Did you call the dealer that the OP didn't provide and confirm that they did nothing to the car to get it ready for sale? Did you call the F&I office that the OP didn't provide and see how much the floor plan is on the car?
Just wondering.

It is a trade in. A dealer will take a car for at least 1k under wholesale (for 40k car) so if they can't (or would not) sell it on their lot they can break even at the auction.... And I know what a mid level optioned 2011 s550 is worth at the auction. So.. This one is easy.
Hope this helps

Still has about 14,000 left on the original MB warranty. There were services done at 10,000 and 20,000. Trying to get more information though. I'll find out once i'm there at the dealership. Definitely will get a PPI done before purchase (if any). Thanks.

I like that Designo Alanite Grey man, has a lot of nice options too. Could be the owners or managers car. What are all the options?
