Very nice. I was gazing at a white one on Ebay. A 2007 model with around 4K miles on it for around $165K. It has mystic white paint and designo interior. I wish I could trade up to it but I guarantee I'll get raped trading my car in for it.

I own an obsidian black/charcoal right now. Latter 1/2 of the 2007 model I feel are the best ones out right now because the antenna was removed from the trunk, you still have the park assist feature on the comand which was removed in some of the 08 models, also I like the smooth leather on the doors instead of the extra stitching on the doors and seats. Also, I like this one because it is $40K cheaper than new.

Wow, interesting! One loses the diamond stitching with the designo version or maybe because the diamond stitching didn't come with the car until 2008?

Very pretty car!

.. Oh! my mistake! Diamond stitching is only exclusive to s65 on MY08. s600 should have the "pipes" on the seat and "bumps" on the door for MY08.

Stealth,

Thanks man! I'm up to 850 miles on the clock. Itching to be more aggressive with the pedal. Amazingly smooth, the V12.

Kind of a bummer it's only a 5 speed but it seems that is all the car needs.

That designo while S65 looks to die for, although I must say i would have to get used to the contrast in the interior. With Michigan winters, the interior contrast would be a tad depressing and cold.
