Bit the bullet. Traded the 550 for the 63

I loved my S550, but I got my typical 2 year itch.

The S63 I purchases comes with the exclusive leather which is amazing. It is like butter. Love the feel of this car. The seats hug, the motor roars, the car is beauty and the beast in perfect balance. Very happy I made the move.

Now I need to decide if I do an ECU upgrade to maximize the potential of the car.

I made the same move . . . S550 to the S63 and I absolutely love it. I love the roar and the acceleration that goes along with it. I won't be going back now that the S63 is AWD. Congrats on your purchase.

Looks great, however Mercedes really didn't do enough to differentiate the s550 from the s550 amg package and the s550/s550amg from the s63/65. They almost all look the same aethestically.

That's what I said above. Perhaps he found a great deal on a 2014? I thought he acquired a new one.

I'm out looking for a '14 or '15. Any details you'd care to share?

Also, is that the porcelain interior?

I was literally searching autotrader every day. Saw this car come up for under 100K. Thought there had to be a problem with it. The car is absolutely perfect.

Yes, it is the Porcelain interior.
