Looking for an 05-06 S55

As the title says, I'm in the market for an 05-06 S55. I'm flexible with colors and options.

I'd appreciate a pm or email at jwalther@wrgfirm.com with any leads. Thanks!

Good Luck, hope you find a real nice one. These cars are just one of the best built AMG Mercedes S-Classes from the W220 era.

JWalther, good luck with your search..Dallas and Atlanta are about the best sources I found. It took me a good six months to find the car I bought. Dont settle for one without all of the options you want, you will kick yourself later.
Sher Judge, what designo colors do you have? Mine is a 2005 Designo Mocha Black, I have never seen another one with this color scheme...Mike

What's wrong, I'm not good enough to find your car for you?

I just delivered a 2006 S55 to someone on this forum (along with C55, S600, CL600, etc), and am sure I can find you a great one too.

Shoot me an email to brucem105@comcast.net.

Thanks, hope all is well!

Good luck. Ditto on the call for patience with options, etc. I've got an '06 which I've never seen duplicated in options, etc., and as I start to see more S55's out there, I'm happier and happier that I insisted on the combo / packages that I wanted. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

If you don't have a W220 already, you might also look at the W220 S65's. Basically an S55 with S600 level options and luxury. Compelling. I think you end up with a less reliable induction system (turbo instead of supercharger). But I'm sure people will line up to debate that one.

It's all about the thrill of the hunt anyway. Good luck.
