And I shopped that too. They were the only dealer who gave me more than $45k, Carmax, wholesalers etc. I’m interested to see what it sells for.

As for the dealer's asking price, it is a bit over-priced but still reasonable in my view! It's a 2020, but it has more than 50K miles now, out of warranty and with not highly optioned. The 48K offer was actually really really fair. A good/fair dealer would usually make no more than 5K on a car of that price assuming they bought it for a fair price. Low 50's would be my guess, cause their retail and auction price is about 50 to high 40s. One can get a similarly options W223, yet 2022 and half the mileage for mid 60s now, so the high 50s for W222 is a bit high. Or, One can now get a 2018-2019 S63 for high-mid 50s from a dealer, or mid-low 50s retail. If your lease ended a year ago, they could have probably asked for 70K. Am seeing about 20K difference between today's prices vs last year for thee W222 across the board. Sounds like a good dealer though for euro cars. It will be hard to see what it will actually sell for though as their final posted price may or may not match what it will sell for.
SW202, I was wondering if you could share more detail about the recent service you did? I think future buyer would appreciate those details. I assume there are no concerns going forward about any of that? I didn't keep up with the detail but I know you had a few questions about some major services you did.

I am sure the next owner would be happy with the cosmetics aspect of the car, at least knowing it was yours.

Yeah it doesn't bother me. They'll have to negotiate down on that price. Even if they don't, I got the deal I wanted. Euro is a good dealer, I have been satisfied for sure. They made the best deal happen on that car when I bought it and they did the same for the new one.

I agree… That offer was as good as any dealer could have offered. You did really well.

Dealers love using the tax advantage as an excuse for a lower price. In the end that’s a decent wholesale number. Retail is in the low 50s I believe with that type of mileage. Just picked up a 2018 with 32k miles, well optioned for 45. I got a good price for a well maintained one owner car.

The “gimicks” in the W222, or any S-class in general, are really really worth it. Probably not all of the options but most of them are well worth the price. But, like you said, its all about what you feel comfortable paying for.

Has anyone else noticed how difficultit is to read the legends on the Cruise Control buttons? At night, they light up, but during the day, I cannot read them. I had to paste my own labels over the car switches. Ugly but it works.
The way MB forces costly features if you spec a particular interior or exterior is disgraceful, imo.
But that's just country boy thinking, developed over 3/4 of a century of driving.

With my perception of you from your posts, I'm sure you did. In any event, there's neither reason nor need for anyone to critique your actions. It's your business and no one else's. As Benjamin Disraeli is credited with saying, "Never complain, never explain." Sound advice!!!
