Considering 2012 S550
I’m considering purchasing a 12 S550. It has P2, Driver Assistance Package, Sport Package, Pano, and 68k miles. Asking $21,995. The car fax shows that it’s had the intake manifold gasket replaced twice, the camshaft seal replaced once and the front shock absorbers replaced.
Is this anything that I need to be overly concerned about? I’ve never owned a S class before, only C and E classes.

Hi,
Ensure that there is no Oil Leak from the oil cooler gasket. It is a $50 gasket, but it costs thousands to install...

A frequent comment surrounds the interior. Driver arm rest and console begins to pucker. Common on southern cars. Not as common on designo upgraded leathers and s600 models. Mechanical these cars are solid given maintenance schedule completely adhered. You will appreciate the higher build qualities and extra room in sclass over e series. Good luck with your purchase.
