Don't worry, whoever bought it for $5500 will spend
the remainder of the $121000 the 1st time he takes it to the Mercedes dealer for any kind of maintenance or repairs!!! 😋 |

True statements all, I used to have a E39 M5 and it was expensive to work on, so a V12 Benz will probably be even higher. However the S550 is a really nice car, if you about have 3 - 5 K a year for repairs its a great deal. After 3 years you spend accord money on one of the best cars in the world. The trick is you need to find the right person to work on it or do it your self.

In New York City you are probably buying your own parts back!

Lee, at the end of the day, you are still driving a SL600 Mercedes. Wife wants a SL55 or SL65 once I get the second lift in the garage we will be pulling the trigger. Black/Red or White/Cognac.
