Picked up another S600 a while back.
5 year warranty or 125k miles which covers everything except wear and tear with a 100.00 deductible....it's flawless. Only driven about 6k miles/year. I have to admit...It's better than my black S600. The engine bay is even spotless.

Yeah, the silver is actually super nice, love it more than the black because it shows more details in the body...at least to me.. I'll try to get some more later today. It has the 20" oem amg wheels with Michelin as3+ tires..i've read the tires make the difference as well...can't believe it rides like butter with these wheels.
I've just been waiting for the right one...I knew I'd come back. I test drove some 15 -16 S550s with the rear pakage with tray tables, etc but couldnt do it...S600 is just what I am meant to have lol. The S600 has the rear tv's with remotes, headphones, etc.

Awesome! Yea, I wonder if that is the same silver I just saw on a 2013 GL550. Something about it in that color. DO you know if the bright silver on a GL550 2013 is the same as yours? It was super sharp. It's much brighter silver than this pic shows.
Yep, it's Iridium Silver Metallic. A lot of car for the price!

Exactly! I was waiting for someone to point that out. It also has the amg steering wheel...when i first saw it i was like where is the wood steeering wheel and then I realized something was different. This car was built with it from the factory....yes, from the factory...according to the dealer. I bought it outright and the dealer said he wanted to charge more and he said i will never see another one of these in the USA...dont know how true that is but I've never seen this before. The owner sold it for a new one...he babied it, and you can definitely tell....it's like no one ever sat in it....when i saw the engine bay, i was like wow..if he didnt, he had someone take care of this thing like a diamond. I have the window sticker - which I saw in the glovebox after I got the car...it was 149k and some change.
If it's true or not, I don't know but from what I can tell, it is, never painted, no accidents, carfax and autocheck 100% clean....the other strange issue is that it would not let me add the car to my insurance policy using the VIN like i have done numerous times online, so I am glad I added it before I flew out to buy it because it took 2 days. They said they have never had this issue before and I had another S600 on my policy before so they couldn't figure it out and it took many people and call backs to get it added for whatever reason.
The exhaust is also AMG stamped, no pipes ever cut and nothing added....all oem from when checked underneath on the lift. I had a thorough 3 hour inspection done after I got it home and the tech couldn't even believe it and asked me where I got it from. I didnt get a PPI....I just knew in my gut it was the right one. I drove it hard when I tested it just to see if it did anything strange, a gem. The door jams, hinges etc, all spotless with no dust, grease or anything...I swear you would think the car was new. I've never seen a used car like this.
Also, another thing....the S65's sold outside of the US dont have the front bumper side lights like the USA S65's do...as far as the bumpers go. Even when the dealer told me about the car, I thought it was an aftermarket kit at first until I realized some small things specific to AMG's and AMG packages on cars outside of the USA.

Another question....I can't remember from my black one, but does the S600 have elongated metal paddle shifters?
Also, I could just be hallucinating as well but this definitely feels much faster than my black one as well. When I put it in S, it's a freaking beast. In C, it is very calm and mellow....did the same with the other one but not like this.

It's pretty clear that someone spent a lot of money putting S65 gear on that car. We see similar stuff being done to cars at work but I haven't done a full S65 exhaust swap yet. You have the window sticker. That will tell you what it was built with.
