I am thinking of buying a used S550 with low mileage.What do you guys think of this deal which i was offered:

2008 S550 with the following Options:

1) Mileage 2300
2) P2 premium
3) AMG SPORT package
4) Panorama Sunroof
5) Night view Assist
6) Rear View Monitor
7) Wood/Leather Steering Wheel
8) i pod integration Kit
9) Power Rear Side window sunblind

MRSP 102,515 ,Asking Price is $88,000

Would appreciate your feedback
 
Is that in Canadian dollars?

You shouldn't have to worry about a used Mercedes (the owners usually baby them) but if you can spring the extra 12 grand and get a brand new one (with your own option specifications) you might want to do that :P

Otherwise the car itself sounds perfect.
 
What is the mileage?

If that is in USD then (depending on the mileage) the price sounds very good, but we need the mileage.

This car has all the options i am looking for ,It has 2300 Miles and the price is in USD
 
What is the price for the same in new? Including eventual commercial action/price cut-off by the dealer?
 
2300 miles?? That's nearly brand new... :eusa_clap


Yep, it`s not even broken in yet. that usually takes about 50.000 miles.
Sounds like a very good deal and the W221 S-Class has an excellent quality report. I`d still check the service record though.

Put the VIN number in at CarFaX.com. It might be a small fee but it`s worth it, good luck.
 
sorry , i made a mistake , it has 5k miles

Asking Price 88,000, Would appreciate your advise on this price
 
Before you buy it, visit your local dealership and offer 10K less than the sticker price ... put down a check for 2K or so to show you are serious. They'll call you towards the end of the month or sooner.

But on the ther hand. 5K miles on a "Previously owned" MB is nothing. Plus it has a ton of features so if a dealer will not sell you a similar new one for 90K which they might, I'd say go for this one.

I got mine for $13K less than sticker using this method! LOL

Yeah, be a jerk, that always motivates salespeople to help. Or, you could actually work WITH the dealer.


if the car was 102k new then cost on it was about $94,800. Cost, less hold back (which dealers don't negotiate on typically) would have been around $92k. So, no a dealer could not sell you a new one for anywhere near $88k right now. There are no programs, except for dealer loyalty money. You have to own an S, SL or CL currently. i think it's about $3,000.
If you wait, you always risk someone else buying it out from under you. There is no used car factory.
 
^^Well, it worked for me and the salesman actually encouraged me to write the downpayment so he could convince his 'boss'. I gave up a panorama roof and rearview camera in the process but gained 4matic as part of the deal cos I had to have the AMG package and the only one available for that deal was the one I got.
Also helping me in the decision was the fact that I got an 'extra year' of warranty by buying new (a +/- $3000 savings) over a used model. Warranty starts from date sold as new ... a used one usually has a year or so less.
 
:Dnot bad whats the milage you know what never mind im just 13 all i have to do is keep my bike lol that dosent use any milage right guys;)

Yeah and with a bike your motor is getting more powerful at each "miles per day" and that's not the case even with a Porsche...:D

What a pleasure, no, to feel your motor increasing its power??:cool:
