    I have 2015 S550 , love it … it’s my daily driver , and it’s all I could ever wish in a car … I bought it used with 80K miles for $29K …

  • @charlielong
    @charlielong 8 років тому +112

    I don't understand why there is so much hate over the fact that he leases his S550.. Clearly, the people who are complaining about it have never leased a car or have any idea what that means. I also lease a S550 4Matic sedan (similar to his car but a few different options) and wouldn't want to do it any either way. By leasing a new car, you always have the latest and greatest car, renewable by each cycle. You also have the car during its warranty, which is vital for expensive and rarely unreliable luxury sedans.
    You people need to stop complaining about him leasing this car. Quite frankly, it is the smartest plan for financing a car like this.

    • @charlielong
      @charlielong 8 років тому +11

      Plus, at the end of the day, he can take out his S550, Gallardo, or M5 while people complain that he can't afford the S550. If he couldn't afford leasing it, he wouldn't have it.

    • @VehicleVirgins
      @VehicleVirgins  8 років тому +40

      I agree :). Hope you are enjoying your S550 as much as I am!

    • @heinkmeister8415
      @heinkmeister8415 8 років тому +2

      Exactly... Like I could probably afford purchasing a Subaru Forester XT at best but right now I'm looking at leasing an E350 sedan (still in the market, I'm kind of torn between my brand loyalty with MB and with going for a Lexus RX450h)

    • @Coffeepapiii
      @Coffeepapiii 8 років тому +1

      how much a month do you pay to lease the 550?

    • @SupremeKilroy
      @SupremeKilroy 8 років тому +1

      Leasing is actually smarter you pay less don't pay for maintenance, and don't lose money when car is 4 years older and you want the new version. Only sucks if you go over mileage. Kids act like leasing is bad well okay get your credit to 750 and lease a car.

The new E is like a small S!

    I very much enjoyed the whole series of videos you posted of your S550. I'm soon to be in the market for a CPO car under 30k miles and under $70k and have narrowed it to the S550 4matic, Audi S8, or possibly a used BMW Alpina B7 xdrive. I frequently drive long distances (Richmond VA to Litchfield CT) in all weather so having awd is a must. So far the S550 4matic is in the lead. Plan is to test them all out. Speed is fun , but I need it to be relaxing for 8+hr drives and very snow capable.

    Hey Parker, When you talk about any screen in a vehicle, like in this video, you say the S550 has incredible graphics, I understand saying that the screen has a great resolution instead of Graphics, I prefer you saying Resolution, everytime you say Graphics, I remember someone talking about a new game or something, but that's your way of interpreting it, not judging Parker, just a slight twitch, Love your Videos Man, Keep Up More M5 Videos

    Personally i would have gotten a Porsche Panamera GTS, similar pricing... And it's a Porsche... Also has a Burmester sound system just like the S550. However, it does lack the radically cool ambient lighting, which is a big part of why you chose this car and why i'd consider it as well.

    Can you make a video about the dual screen vision stuff? Like your vision seeing the car stuff and passenger seeing a movie or something?

    Hey Man,
    Ive seen a good amount of your videos and i appreciate the quality of the reviews. I noticed that you are also in A2. Id love to check out your rides and maybe go on a cruise. I am a fellow car enthusiast as well. I am a bit jelly of the lambo and would love to see it in person. Let me know if your down. PS- Cops are always out on Packard! lol
