Just wondering people! need some opinions.

There is no thought process involved, S65.

CoogiMan

I'm just wondering....why would you ask such a thing?
That's like saying - do you want an attractive girlfriend? Or an insanely beautiful girlfriend..... no brainer here holmes..... S65 RENNTECH.

S600 gets better gas mileage so I would chose the S600 over the 65

NY_SG

Alright alright.

Wonder if 07 s65 would depreciate more than the s600 08.

Anyways is there ever a CA benz meet? I never get to go to one haha.

"S600 gets better gas mileage so I would chose the S600 over the 65"

Uh. You own a 67' chevelle, Supercharged Range Rover, Denali, and a Porsche Carrera GT?? Please tell me you are joking about the gas mileage!!! oh. And you already own an S600.....

T65 BRABUS.

I dont own any of those... I've been waiting to get a car haha.

I am eyeing for a used S65. I will have to give up my GL for it though.

Hmmm but s class is big powerful.

cmcjo

Yes the 65 would depreciate faster then the 600.
But jokes aside, If you could afford it, I would highly suggest the 65 over the 600 any day anyhow

Athough the 2006 maybe can be bought for under 100K and the 07 took a huge hit as well.

cmcjo

Oh misread that..
In that case I think the used 65 took its biggest depreciation in the first 12-15 months of ownership so maybe you would do better if you are concerned about depreication. But who cares about depreciation anyway when your driving a 600+ horsepower car?? Lease the darn thing and enjoy!!

srice

He didn't have enough room to list his Gulfstream??!!

NY_SG

I guess the 2007 s65 should have been depreciated already.

I can find clean 07 s65 for like 140k-160k.

Maybe I could wait little longer see how it goes.

But yeah thanks I am getting the S65 than hehe.

If i get 600 I got to put body kit etc etc etc....

Carl Lassiter

Brakes on the 65 are huge too. You can do better than 140-160 for an 07. Just be sure to post pics.

according to mbusa S65 gets better highway gas mileage and identical city mileage.
also again according to mbusa S600 and S65 have same size rotors different piston designs.

S65 is very nice but a S600 with amg sport pack is very close to S65 in terms of look. I have heard that S65 has stiffer suspension so that S600 has more comfortable ride. I would seriously consider giving up the 100hp difference for more comfort focused suspension. A fully loaded S600 with designo exterior and interior. if what i heard is not right, then S65 all the way

The S65 would be my pick of the two. Just can't afford it

whoover

The S65 ride does not sacrifice comfort. I've driven the 800 mile round trip from Northern California to Southern California 5 1/2 times in the last year (I bought the car in Anaheim) and with a single short stop in Buttonwillow for gas an Starbucks I arrive feeling totally relaxed and refreshed. It's amazing how well balanced the suspension is between taut handling/responsive steering/low body lean and comfort in the passenger cabin. The AMG treatment of the S600 improves the car in every way.

S65 with new gen renn-tech software

cmcjo

The Chevelle only gets 3 miles per gallon. OP picked up on my comment

CoogiMan

CM - Can you post pics of your chevelle? I'd be interested to see the car and hear about your project.

Who did the work?

Thanks.

Coogi

housclass

you can't get 07 and newer 600's with the amg sport package...sucks!

Another question to ask is: Would it be better to get a stock S65, or get a stock S600 and let Renntech, Brabus, Wald, or Kleeman get their hands on it??? You may be looking at approx the same amount of money and have additional exclusivity. Just one's preference would have to rule that idea.

Points to ponder

LetsJet

Since you asked..........

I would pick (picked) an S600 because it's all the power I needed. It's already overkill and I just didn't see the advantage to more power that I can't use.

W211 BEAST

Ok, we obviously know that the 65 is better than the 600 (performance wise) but can you guys plz tell me what youd pick between the 600 and the 63?

Carl Lassiter

A better question from the new member who loves his questions.

trumpet1

I'd probably choose the 63 fully loaded and have them throw in the woodgrain palm rest for the phone keypad cover.
