Considering a 2013 S550

I am considering purchasing a 2013 S550. The only options that it has is the Driver Assistance package and Pano roof. The kicker is that it only has 18,000 one owner miles. Dealer asking $34,999. What do you think would be a fair price to offer? Palladium silver with tan interior.

WOW thats low miles almost new. You can check car gurus or auto nation to compare. Ive seen 2014 to 2017s for that price BUT they all was over 50000 miles.

i think that it depends on how long that you plan on keeping it. The wholesale price is $25K. I wouldn't be comfortable with that kind of spread in case I needed to get rid of it. On the other hand you are getting a nearly new car for 1/3 the new price. So if you plan on keeping it a long time and putting a lot of miles on it then it might be a good deal for you. I would try to get them to come down at least a couple of grand.

Sounds like a good starting point. I think I would hang fairly firm around that number. Avg KBB private party is 29.5K. I think that you could argue that as a starting point

OP.... 4.7 liter twin turbo bent eight with the seven speed box behind it. Excellent combination.

Low miles. Seven years old so due for fresh fluids everywhere.

Enjoy!

As other have said, I'd start around $29.5 - $30 and see what happens. Just wanted to say that the spec on that car is one of my favorites.

If they still have it, I just got a 2013 this year for $27,000 but it had 68,000 miles on it and no distronic plus or blind spot mirror warning which I wish it did. Mine has the AMG wheels and body trim package which kept the price up a little. I'd jump on it because 18,000 miles are very low. Right now, I've only put 2000 miles on mine at 71,000 and the car started leaning two days ago so Im looking at airmatic suspension repairs already. You'll enjoy the 2013 because the V8 got some improvements over the 2012 I think, twin turbo 429 HP and the thing hauls *** in sport mode. In my opinion, the 2013 looks better than the 2014 and up since they made so many cosmetic changes after 2013.

No. They sold it before I could make an offer.

Wasn't meant to be. I am looking for a low miles S65 maybe a 2017 to replace my beloved 2007 S600 which is well sorted. I have 72K miles on mine now and I'd really like to upgrade.
