E55 to an S-class

I haven't owned anything that large..but am thinking it might be fun to have for the daily driver for a couple of years.

Plenty of good people around here talked me into the S600, over the E55. It is a real blast. My ONLY regret is that it need bigger brakes Atleast the way I drive it.

The wife even invents excuses to cruise now, it truly is a fun toy my friend.

See yeah

PS: Make sure you get the dynamic seats

I would love to own a S600 bi-turbo. I can't say whether I would trade in and E55 for one. if it was a straight swap, maybe.

E55
Are you talking about the 07 and up S class? S65

I would trade my E55 for a S class with AMG sport package. That car with a slight drop and some 22 inch rims is money. The car is quick enough for daily use. But, I will miss being able to hit triple digits with 4 passengers, AC on, at the drop of a hat.

I would be going for a new S600. I would go with an 09 if I found one optioned with all the goodstuff.

Judging from your cars. You can use a nice big comfy saloon. Do it my friend. And don't look back!
