I hate to start a new thread for this. I want to sell my 2014 S550 on a private sale. Do you folks have any suggestions on what is the best way to do this? My car is worth about $49-50K (private sale) with the options I have on it.

I would put a listing on this forum and in the classified section of MBWorld. In addition, I would put an ad on Craigslist and in AutoTrader.

Just to make sure, you are saying that I can list it on the "New S-Class (W222)" forum, right? The classified section of MBWorld is not very busy at all. The last item for sale there is from 3-16-2017.

I'm not sure it is 100% Kosher, but several folks have listed vehicles for sale in the forums for the model. I don't see any problem with it. Just ask interested parties to Private Message you. Good luck!

As I stated on Streamliner's post ("I'm smitten...........), I pulled the trigger the other day and ordered the 2018 S450 (4Matic) with the following options: Selenite grey exterior, black interior with light burl walnut trim, Premium Package, Warmth and Comfort Package, Driver Assistance Package, Head-Up-Display, NightView Assist Plus, Wheel Locks, Cabin Atomizer. I was really struggling with the exterior color. I have the iridium silver on my 2014 S550 and considered getting the same color. I also considered getting the diamond silver metallic. But I thought I would try the selenite grey this time.
Now here are the two questions I have: I have seen quite a few videos of the drive and various features of the new S Class. On one video the guy says if you come to a complete stop due to traffic, the car will move by itself as long as it's within 3 seconds of the stop. However, another video that's pretty recent says, the car will move if it's within 30 seconds of the stop with the new and enhanced Distronic Plus. So, which is it? Here as a link of a very good video where the guy says "within 30 seconds and not just 3 like the older system". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YqEH2ZmoSu8. The other question I have is this: There is a wireless charger neat the front console, right? I don't give a hoot about a rear wireless charger.

Just for kicks, here is the video of the 2018 S450 in which the guy says, "if stoped in traffic, it will resume on its own if the stop is less than 3 seconds". He says this at around the 4:45 to 4:52 spot on the video. Obviously, he is wrong. It amazes me how these guys can be so wrong on these things.
