One more big thing, only for S63's, there are two versions of the Burmester Audio, the standard one, and the High End 3-D system, which is $6000 option. This comes standard on the 65 so only look for it on 63's. You get like double the speakers and a subwoofer, which makes a huge difference in the experience of the car. For example, on the car for this video, there was a big speaker on the ceiling for the passengers, so for 63's make sure it has that speaker and the extra speakers around the cabin. This option is also faked quite a bit, by gluing fake speaker panels to parts of the car, so make sure it's on the window sticker!

Just got a 2015 s550 4matic 62k miles $30,500. Very nice car has nearly all options expect designo, 3d audio, and cross stiching. The lighter interior is better for the lighting since it reflects better but the black interior is Pimp approved. Would love a s65/63 but still 20k more for similar miles. For these s-classes colors #1 is black #2 White #gray
Just picked up a 2015 S63 with 67k miles for about $10k more than yours. Mine doesn’t have the executive package (rear recline seats) but 600 horses and all the lux for under $50k. I’m not complaining. And the crazy thing is, I can actually put a lil value back into it if I tune her. I’m so glad Mercedes hasn’t learned to limit production 😅
Just picked up a 2015 s63 for 46k with 70k miles with all the bells & whistle executive pkg & executive pkg plus & many mre options loving tht exhaust sound good luck guys
TBH I'd just get an AMG GT63 over S class at this point, not as luxurious, but WAY better looking and more fun to drive.. While also being luxurious and spacious as a daily driver.
Dang...that's an awesome deal...I am looking for one almost a year a later and couldn't find anything better than 70k for 40k miles... how has the car been so far for you?
Goal: 2014-2016 (9-7 year old) S63 AMG w/ under 30k mi with a seller willing to sell for $65k. Sell when milage hits 35k. Rare but I'm gonna start looking.
I have this car in the S550 valiant. The only thing I really don't like is that steering wheel so I added a third spoke to my steering wheel. It looks much better with a third spoke.
Completely disagree with someone who can afford a rolls Royce wouldn't buy a Mercedes S65 AMG. The rolls Royce is complete luxury literally no performance the S65 in particular is a very very stiff performance oriented car that DOES NOT compete with rolls Royce. If you said Maybach I would agree but a S65 AMG is a complete difference car. Go drive this S65 AMG on back roads and come back and tell us how it compares to rolls Royce (hint doesn't) more like a sports sedan
2008 mercedes S63 AMG W221 is what I have and the first year they were made, 2011 they went smaller displacement from 6.3L to 5.5L biturbo engines onwards
Hi PJ, what’s your take on buying a 2016 S63 Coupe with 3D Burmester sound, magic sky control, carbon fiber interior and exterior packages, 20 inch 10 spoke wheels, 54,000 miles, 3 owners, No accidents & regular dealership maintenance?! Really appreciate your advice before I go for this.
Great video PJ!! I'd appreciate one for the coupe and convertibles if you can spare the time - since the convertibles are discontinued as well... Cheers
Warren Buffett drives a 15-year-old Cadillac, I mean, he could drive anything he wants, but he drives a 15-year-old Cadillac and if you asked him to spend the money on a Bentley, a Rolls-Royce, or a Mercedes-Benz, he would say that cars are not assets and people who spend their money on them are not wise, but I don’t think he would ever say you are a wannabe rich boy driving a Bentley, Mercedes, or Rolls-Royce.
The statement on every guy who drives an s class is wannabe rich and they buy it because they can’t afford a rolls or Bentley shows how shallow minded some of these UA-camrs are thinking they have come with killer statements. If that is your solid conclusion on why the sclass exists then man your world is very limited. I don’t even know why you had to include that part like you saying some world standard shit😂. Absolutely no one resonates with you there, I mean that statement was just dumb. People buy whatever pleases their eyes I don’t even like the sclass but you see them all over in Dubai were one has all the sports cars, Bugatti Ferrari and always a Range Rover and an s class they like it because it is elegant without being showy. That statement was just dull🤦♂️
Because they’re essentially fully depreciated. It rapidly stops making sense for an extremely luxurious 200k MSRP car with 35k miles to dip far below 50k. It’s just too much value for what it is at that price point.
Hi PJ, what do think about a 2014 white i8 with 41k miles, would that keep its value or appreciate? I believe it's reliable and there will be no next gen come out
Didn’t hear any laughing..paranoia 😆 I like the night vision …guess it depends on where you live. 2015-2016 S550 50-60,000 km or 30-40k miles. You can pick up for $30-$40 cnd which is $21.5k- $28k Though the S63 is definitely cool….I dunno for me, the S550 would be amazing. I owned a 2011 e350, loved this car…until my son wrote it 2 days for Christmas 😱 last year….been thinking about getting back in…was going to go E550…but, with the S 550 prices being so reasonable…finding a 2015-2016 S class might my next target. Been watching, reviewing, and researched as much as I possibly can though…as there are some issues that can be catastrophic…like carbon build up on the valves, cylinder wall scoring as just couple of examples…these cars are ment to be cruising at 130mph without blinking an eye…here in N America, they’re lucky to average 30-50% of those speeds …so finding a car that has extensive service background and paper trail is a must. I also believe for this car, putting an extended warranty, would cost $3-$4,maybe $5k for 2-4years…might be a worthwhile investment..as it doesn’t take long to spend $5k on one of these on repairs…wiper blades..$300 for a pair…headlights, can’t change the bulb..$3-$4k for a replacement…. So finding the right one is important…budge $300-$500/month for repairs/maintenance….that way, should something bigger goes wrong…and you didn’t get that extended warranty..the sting isn’t so bad 😉 No doubt, a beautiful car that if you find one with great service records..would be a hellofa bargain 😃
These cars drop in value like a sack of potato for a reason. If you think it’s a bargain just wait till the first repair bills come in. Plenty of bobo’s have gone broke thinking a cheap AMG or M is a great deal.
These is a rich man’s bargain ! If you can’t afford the repair bill ,don’t buy it. This is also why buy a low mileage one so it is almost new while you don’t pay the 70-80k extra. After another 20k miles, your repair bill may be 10-20k but still save a lot. If you drive good and lucky you paid less than 5k for each 10k miles.
@@electrikoptik you’re talking about billionaires! Not normal rich people! Normal rich people can spend 100k cash to buy car but they love to save 50k then they love to buy used car ! There are tons of them. Normally they don’t finance for cars ! Otherwise this saving is meaningless!

Dude stop saying the S class is a wannabe rich guys car. I worked at Mercedes and met tons of wealthy people that literally preferred a S Class over a Rolls or Bentley but other than that stupid comment the review is correct that this is the perfect buy for what it cost.
That's the first time I've heard of that myself lol. I live in Vegas and know several rich people who own S classes. Hey, it might be different in other major cities.
I believe it really depends on where you live. South Florida where he is and the surrounding areas are one of the most baller areas where showing your wealth doesnt feel like you are a douche. Everyone can carry too so criminals try less. I guess if you were in a more subtle rich area like parts of NJ and NY, and were wealthy, you may not want to daily a Rolls Royce.
You are out of touch with 95 plus percent of the country and your viewers. Let's get real.....few truly rich people watch your videos. Many wealthy people do watch your videos, I'm sure. Not all well to do, wealthy people who love and drive S-classes or the similar are wannabe rich people that cant afford Bentleys and Rolls etc. Calling anybody wannabes is not at all close to fitting when discussing S classes and quality automobile enthusiasts. I could go on forever about how a Grey-poupon attitude will turn people away from your videos if you display the such. I liked this video nonetheless. I will step down from my soapbox now.
