2014 or 2015 S-Class....opinions?
Folks -
I am not going to pay 80K for a E43 (after just driving one) when there are 14's & 15's S550's out there with 15-20K miles on them for 75-85K.
Anyway - i found a 14' thats optioned the way i really like - anyone know what the differences are compared to 15's outside of the touchpad in the center console? I'm hesitant only because 14 was the first year of the new body so i'm just not 100% sold. The car is loaded, has the rear heated seats/adj seats which the kids will love, night view, split view, distronic/surround view, and sport package. Asking is 77K which i'm sure there is room to negotiate.
Appreciate any input
Thanks,

I think there were just minor differences; like touchpad, head-up display, etc.
On the other hand, do checkout the new inventory of the 2016 CLS550. It is a great car and great engine, there should still be some at the dealers with good deals.
Happy shopping.

Also, see if they will CPO it for you. With all those fancy features, they can be extremely expensive out of warrantee to repair. If you end up loving the car, you can extend the CPO an additional 2 years Unlimited Millage.
I purchased a 14' and love it. The car is a beast with that engine.
Good Luck with your search....

Correct, Touchpad and HUD. I personally like the older style with the buttons. I think they also offer Remote Start on the 16 and 3G/4G.
