You got a great deal on that car. Very nice car. The Ruby is a rare color too and nice int combo. You mentioned the eco feature. A lot of people turn off the green lighted eco button every time they start the car as it gets annoying the auto engine stop feature at lights and it’s not easy on the engine starting and stopping all the time. Plus with it on the engine runs on 4 cyl a lot of the time which there again Is not the greatest thing for the engine long term. With it off I can still get 28 mpg on the highway. Pretty amazing for a big heavy 463 hp fast car.
I’d estimate the sticker on your car was around 122k msrp.

Thanks for that 2012 Merc AMG , much appreciated!! I will turn off the stop / start because its actually a bit annoying..$36k is a lot of savings in exchange for having 24 months/ 5k miles on the clock. im going to track gas mileage for a while and see how its doing. This weekend is my "learn the car weekend" while I have a beer and cheer on the Jags!

I live in the USA just bought a 2020 Class 560. I'd be very grateful if anyone has any thoughts on the below...total Mercedes newbie to be honest..
In the trunk there was a towing lug, and the locking wheel nuts. Nothing else. Anyone know hat should be in there?
Also in the Rear RHS door storage is fixed a strange felted holder for something spherical or semi spherical. Does anyone know what that is?
It looks like somebody removed the slide out trunk platform as well. Even the valve stem dust covers were gone.
That said, I paid 86k including 2 years extra warranty through 2027 and the mileage is 5k. The car is immaculate but I'm curious - a fair deal do people think?

Mine came with towing lug in that "styrofoam" support and locking wheel nuts inside a case.
The easy tray or whatever it is called also seems to have been removed as the car has the rails for it but not the bag itself. Or maybe they all come with those rails installed regardless of weather you opt for the bag or not. Either way that is something I would probably never use. Seems clumsy.
As far as the rear door storage, same situation here. Felted holder with nothing in it. Again, ashtray would be useless for me so a felted compartment is actually better if you want to throw some small item in there and have it not rattling around.
