Its here, 2006 S65

Finally arrived via Intercity from San Diego. 7 Days from pickup to delivery in NC. Arrived in great shape, full tank of gas, everything cleaned and polished. Team at Mercedes of San Diego was great. Have not done any extended high speed runs but the short bursts are amazing. The beast pulls really strong and NOW. Only modifications so far is the bluetooth puck (thanks to KenStudios for the PM help). Installed and linked with my Blackberry 8700C, works great. Here are a few pictures to tide you over.

Much less than $100K. 13K miles, certified so it gets the extra year of warranty. Parktronic, VCM, keyless go.

Congrats on the car. A word of advice: you should strongly consider adding the one or two-year extension to the Starmark warranty. The dealer should be able to to add it to the transaction. At $2,400 or $4,000 (for one and two more years, respectively) for any AMG or V-12, the extension is a bargain for an S65. Even if you don't plan on keeping the car, the warranty is transferable in a private-party sale so it's great for resale value.

In some states MB has to refund the unused premium if you sell the car do a dealer (in which case the Starmark warranty does not transfer).

Very nice. What color interior is it? Definitely get the extended warranty.

I don't mean to change the subject, but how's the reception on your blue tooth phone? I hear most people fine on mine (Motorola Krazr), but everybody tells me they have a hard time hearing me. Anybody know how to increase the sensitivity of the mic in the car?
