The Best Car I’ve Ever Owned!

Let me start by saying at 48 I’ve owned a lot of cars. BMW’s....Ferrari’s...Multiple Maserati’s...And this 2008 s550 absolutely takes them all hands down. The car has more room than an suv, the ride is the smoothest ever, the power is amazing, features are never ending, by far most comfortable car I’ve owned, Stereo is amazing , and it even gets great gas Mileage. This said if you’re thinking about buying one of these you’ll be happily surprised it’s the most luxurious car I’ve owned...it’s basically a little smaller version of the Maybach

At 70k miles, the car feels like barely broken in. The build and finish quality are outstanding, with first rate materials. Repairs, well, might seem to be on the costlier side, however when taking everything in consideration this is a small concern, as this car is top quality overall.

The best car I have ever owned

I have owned many new cars incuding 9 new Sclass mercedes. I purchased a new 2007 through my local dealers European delivery program. What a blast. The hotels they were incredible. But the hotels paled in comparison to driving the new S Class on the Autobahn. My wife and I both loved that car so much that the following year we went back to Germany and got another one. Well you guessed we are going back for our third one in August 2009. As long as Mercedes keeps making a car of this quality with such a high retained value I am In.

This car is all you would expect from Mercedes Benz. Economy is much better than advertised...25 on the highway at 80 MPH. Comfort is awesome, handling is great and interior layout was well thought out.

This car is huge! Every trip is super comfortable and for its age people still think it’s the new model Mercedes! I really enjoy driving my Mercedes I have put the larger 20 inch Mercedes rims I think I may have the vehicle repainted but other than that I’m keeping it!
