Q to update to w222 from w221 S63 m156

Hi All

I have a 2010 s63 AMG that is in perfect shape but the warranty is set to expire in a few weeks. I have two options:

1: trade in on new s550 - same payment etc Big questions is how is the performance as ill be getting a non AMG car for a AMG car and I wanted to see if there are any owners here who did come out of a m156 motor car. 2k drive off on new S. Benz Employee pricing so a smoking deal.

2. Buy a 2 year extended CPO for 4400 and drive it...My dealership is very good and i do love the car.

They basically charge the same for amg and non amg warranties now and you should be able to find a seller on here that would get you the 2yrs for around 3700 out the door. That's if you go that route.

well there is a BIG difference between your W221 to the new W222

I drove both, the W222 '15 63 AMG and the '15 550, not much difference in my opinion unless you are on the open road at high speeds, also there was significant turbo lag on the 63 which was annoying. So I purchased a '15 550 V4, very happy with the car, love it.

So, if I were you I'd trade it for a new 550
