Check out my 2013 S550 Review here: ua-cam.com/video/NMEQKnN65CQ/v-deo.html Previous gen didn't hold up as well as this car. This W222 Chassis S class has been quite the car, one of the most stand out experiences I have had. If you have experience with this car, please leave your thoughts in the comments below. Also, please follow me on Instagram and Twitter @exhaustsports or you may become a Patreon member for updates. Thank you again for watching and stopping by. Take care
It’s a model year ‘14 S-Class or newer not a ‘13. The delay your experiencing with throttle inputs isn’t turbo lag it’s a designed feature of larger engined Mercedes. If you want all the power you have to stab the throttle to the overdrive button. Try to get your hands on a ‘12-‘16 E550. It has that same twin turbo motor but in a smaller more driver focused package, 402 hp 448 bhp. Such a sleeper!
you probably wouldn’t believe, but the guy who told me that was actually “connected”. He used to run one of the largest privately owned mortgage lending groups in New Jersey. His vehicle lineup was ridiculous. Silver g55 amg, two toned black:Himalayan red maybach 62s, flying spur, 911 turbo, artic White s600, matching land cruisers was just what I saw...Right before the financial crisis of ‘07 happened one of his offices got raided by the feds but he was tipped off and all the computers and docs where removed from the building the night before..
Wow wth that's insane. It's as if these people don't think about the consequences like they're smart enough probably an IQ of 150 to scam their way to the top but have the brain of a gnat when it comes to the fact they will be caught. Either way pretty cool to hear thanks for sharing 😆
Exhaust Sports Auto I don’t want to give the wrong impression of the guy, he was actually a legit business man. He even poached the then Vice President of chase bank to come work as his ceo or something. At the time it was a lot like the movies & sh*t - once you reach a certain level you have to deal with specific “elements” of the underworld if you’re doing that sort of business in the tri-State (nj, ny, ct)
No not a limo but used for business, executive rental, company car and so on. Limos aren’t our everyday and it’s hard for them to do that ,I have mileage in such a short space of time.
Nice! Really appreciate you sharing your insight you're def right the S class Really is different from the rest of the pack feels like you're driving through butter
I have a 2016 S550 and have 65,000 miles on it and have had absolutely no problems. Keep it service when recommended. I bought it brand new and ordered it directly from Germany.
I'm so sad that Mercedes is doing away with non-badge distinguishers for their models. I miss being able to tell an S class from the headlights. Was a good idea.
Yea I will admit they all are just shrunken versions of the S class lol I still enjoy the presence of this car but that's mostly because we know what it is haha
Love the high mileage reviews. I have owned every s class body since the late seventies. This gen finally grew on me. Currently in love with my 07 s550 sport. Drives better than my Bentley. Gonna pull the switch on on ne soon. But I still think my 07 looks better.
My father has the S550 and is always finding himself getting unintentional speeding tickets😂 I haven’t experienced many cars as im still pretty young but Ive been lucky to spend lots of time driving the S550. Its such a phenomenal car to drive. So smooth, so luxurious, and you definitely feel like the king of the road. Another thing worth noting is that when you put the cars suspension and engine in Sport mode its a blast to drive with that 450+ HP V8 😍
Mercedes are reliable if properly taken care of like any car. Cars that were this highly engineered and ahead of its time will be more expensive to maintain so people must not complain. But look after it and it'll go for years. Look, 150k miles and still driving like new. And that's a testament to their build quality, solidity and engineering. My dad has a 2005 C Class with 300,000kms and it drives like new. Interior looks immaculate. Paint is still excellent. That's quality products.
That year S class aged very well. You get one of those 550's and black it out and black Benz wheels and you are looking like a bag of money. No one would care if it's used or 150k miles. As long as it's clean and mean is all that matters.
SDav21 I agree, imo they look better with OEM lighting and wheels. Modified versions look aftermarket, which is what they are. No hate, people are different so get what you like best
I owned 3 s550s, a 2010 back in 2013, then a 2014 back in 2016, then a 16 model, both had the amg appearance package, currently drive a 16 s550 coupe with the amg package, looks so good in the coupe, love the benz! Big body or nothing baby!
EXACTLY!!!! For the exception of the w251 R class. Those vans were made to fail. Best one i've owned was an 08 w219 cls550. W240 Maybach 57 is reliable as hell too as long as you know a good mechanic.
You better read this: The W222 engine is worst engine ever built by Mercedes Benz MY2013 - MY 2016 or 2013 to 2020 S class V 8 “The exhaust valve assembly might not work properly etc. this means you need a new Cylinder head or both! The Water thermostat open at 217 Fahrenheit, Water Boil at 212 Fahrenheit you must remove the coolant to clean the coolant back flow. The temperature reading in the car display never goes aver 200 Fahrenheit I check the engine temperature was 217 to 225 Fahrenheit without any fan coming on (Back flow) the manual warning on page 295 if the coolant temperature is above 257 Fahrenheit do not drive. The rigged the software “wrote a CALL” like they did in the Mercedes Benz Diesel Engine. The exhaust valve problem trigger “Fuel system monitor not completed” 17 states in the USA DO NOT PASS inspection to drive the car “Done” and you cannot do anything about.
hahaha i was thinking "hmm is that the 150k s-class for sale on Raleigh Craigslist" and low and behold it is. I saw that exact car in person last week, it's actually in very good shape.
I have a 2012 s550 with 59k miles. Car has been perfect for what it is. I put 20’s on it an added an electronic lowering mode. Car looks and drive beautiful
the s-class is one of the smoothest quietest cars arounds. but a bentley takes that to the next level. there is a very noticeable improvement in the bentleys build.
The previous gen s class you drive had the same engine and transmission and it actually had about 50 less horsepower. So while it was athletic it was not faster than the one in this video. The 4.7 v8 amd 7g tronic tranny were use from 2012 all the way to 2017. Then it was replaced by the 4.0 in the s560. And all the previous gen s classes (W221) aged beautifully if they weren’t ragged out by stupid drivers amd kids. I have a 2010 s550 that looks brand mew and everything works with no rattles or squeaks at almost 130,000 miles on it now. The S class that aged like garbage and us terrible build quality was the w220 from 2000 to 06. Such a terrible car to follow up the acclaimed and most dignified s class ever, the W140.
Have a 2014 w222 with 132k miles drives perfect just makes a weird flapping noise sometimes when going slow and not to temperature I’ve been told by my friend it’s probably my timing chain but Mercedes said if it was the timing chain it would idel roughly idk my favorite car I’ve ever owned still 🙄 I got rid of my Cadillaic to keep the Mercedes as my second car and a 2014 Mercedes I got for 20k is 1000x nicer then my gfs Kia telluride which was 60k same tech as a 2023 car so if ur looking for a car get a used 2014-2017 s class for like 25k you’ll not regret it
To give a reference, I drive this car from LA to San Diego and back in one night with distronic plus on, there’s light to moderate traffic. 4.5 hours drive with only 15mins rest. I got off the car at 11pm that night and still felt Ok. I’m the kinda person that used to rest every single hour of highway driving.
we have a 2015 S350d lang (with all options) as a taxi here in Finland currently has 250k miles and still gets around 6k miles monthly. Such an amazing car to drive but yet reliable and fuel efficient thanks to the diesel engine. Driving 10-15 hours a day this is the car i want.
We had the privilege of "stealing" my friend's bosses 2000 S500 4matic back in the day and it was absolutely baller even back then. The size of the back seat, the quiet and cozy interior, the peasant blockers, and that smoooooth V8 were just so satisfying.
Yea I couldn't believe it, I was going to review a 100k mile one but then this showed up just crazy. And are they really reliable? Most here in the comments don't think so haha
Exhaust Sports Auto im sorta biased as I had a 221 that I adored but the 222’s seem to be pretty good cars. The motor is nice and solid, the transmission rarely has issues, and most of the electronics and suspension systems have gotten the kinks worked out of them by now. There are significantly less horror stories on the 222 forums than the 221 forums. The 221 had a few crippling issues from the start and the 222 doesn’t have any huge ones off the top of my head.
Have you had any issues since purchasing? I’m really close to pulling the trigger on a 2016 S550 4matic with 130k miles on it and am both excited & nervous about it. Any advice?
Maybe you can do a review on the 2014-2017 S550 and the potential problems that will occur and prices for repairs,also do a review on the S65 AMG,talk about POWER,it's BEASTLY,great reviewing my man.... MERCEDES BENZ S CLASS IS KING!!!!!!
Yo bro remember me the 2006 Lexus LS430 owner that u said don’t ever get rid of and I told u I already been told myself I never will lol well your on the right channel bro this is my favorite car channel and best hands down 👊🏾✊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Usually my suggestion is to get a warranty with cars like this so you dont have to worry about it haha. But if you're interested in this car, the forums are a phenomenal place for that sort of real world information. Thanks again for stopping by my friend
Also Mercedes is the #1 Selling Luxury Brand in the World, 4 yrs in a Row!! (2019 Sales) Mercedes 2.34 Million, BMW 2.17m, Audi 1.85m, Jaguar / Land Rover 558,000, Lexus 298,000, Cadillac 156,000 -- Mercedes S-class has been #1 in the Large Luxury Sedan Category every single year since 1972 for 48 yrs straight in World Wide Sales!! Mercedes Amg GTR PRO lapped Nurburgring in only 7:04 if you want a Luxury Fast Toy! 😉
Yup lol but again its all preference and looks are subjective. So many people that ruin the looks of these cars by getting a plain black interior but its the most common color I suppose peope are worries about getting it dirty but still worth getting the Cream only choice for me
@@MeynMotorGroup you look like a desi, so it's only natural you like the lighter colours, here in India at least premium cars only have lighter interiors, wether it's tan brown or biege because of airiness it brings about in the cabin. Well India is a hot country so it makes sense to not go with black which is seen as suffocating over here
@Roberto Vidal Garcia a c class is very simple to maintain. It is no different then any foreign or domestic car. My company has a fleet of 18 2016+ c class 4-matic with the highest mileage reaching 168,000 miles. Only thing we’ve had to do is regular maintenance, tires brakes etc. never had any problems; fantastic cars 10/10 recommend!!!
As a European I owned many different Benz models, never had any rattling problems with any of them … in Europe those cars will run 300.000 - 400.000 km any day of the week , and then some … you won’t need insurance if you maintain and take care of your Benz , and don’t abuse it … S550 will give you years of enjoyment , just take good care of it … btw I own 2015 S550 and 2013 GLK350 right now , and love them both , both fantastic cars … stay away from a dealer garage tho lol … plenty of parts on eBay or other on line places, do service at local shops like Midas, Valvoline and shops that specialize in European cars … if you go to Mercedes dealer it’ll cost you an arm and a leg
Whatever you guys read in the comment be careful. People make it sounds like is reliable but rarely will you see a comment that says they have over 200k miles in an s class. When something goes wrong, it’ll be super expensive to fix. If you want reliability, Lexus but if you want the best comfort and luxury that’ll cost a bit a dough, the s class
So funny, nobody in Europe is gonna think Lexus is a true alternative for a Benz. Not bashing Lexus or trying to start a debate. But you can see what marketing can do (and yes, I know, Luxury EXport US).
I own 2006 s350 , currently 62k miles and I love this car, yeah it's kinda old but can't beat the comfort it gives you on the road, so relaxing.10-12 hrs trips you body don't feel at all. Same trips I did on Honda or Toyota you get hella tired. Love it, I know German cars and their reliability but I do all by myself.
I’m giggling with you just watching it because I know exactly what you mean! I had 1995 Merc Benz s500 and it was like riding in a boat! I was that boy in the city 😭😭
Love the way S Class Benzes ride going down the road. Soft enough to be comfortable but firm enough so it handles well and doesn't float and wallow everywhere. Quiet too.
Yes that's another good point you brought up, it's not wallowy there is confidence here that something like the 3rd gen LS lacks and this aids in the quality feel the S class has
Exhaust Sports Auto I believe your going to keep your LC though either way if not a respect that in life u always do what makes u happy not anybody else approval to be the happiest within yourself
Exhaust Sports Auto I feel u bro and always happy your happy with your LC remember u saying how bad u wanted it bro that dream came true so hey we just have to keep on dreaming to make those dreams come true I dreamed of a Lex got one now we got to get that Benz to make our car dreams complete 😂 but hey whenever we do get that S class we will just stack up some side money for the repairs when need be when that warranty runs out lol
The new body is OK but they need to bring back the fenders which in my opinion made the W221 special. The interior of the 2013 also needs to come back with all metal buttons and rectangular air vents. The little keypad for radio stations and phone calls need to return which is much easier to use while driving than the little mouse pad like feature newer ones now have; very distracting and dangerous to use while driving.
I had a 2015. Absolutely guzzles gas. Better a 500 than a 560. The new w223 is a much nicer car, but there were things I loved about the w222 that I don’t like in the w223. I miss the large horizontal display. I like the w222’s road presence more. The W222 also felt roomier for tall men.
I love Lexus but I felt the same way driving the s550. However, I’ll stick to the LS. I know I can get 300,000 miles on it with no problem and the maintenance is cheap.
Haha yea the other cars are more than smooth enough LS is still incredible to drive no complaints and a satisfying ownership experience. In all fairness, I'm surprised how reliable the W222 is some owner bought a 2014 Brand New and put 215k miles in 6 years with no issues lol. He later sold it and bought a new S560 crazy
@@MeynMotorGroup History 1,000,000 miles. There is no Lexus out there with that accomplishment!!! nor carry the prestige!!! I love the interior door light, so unique. Lexus is not solid like a benz. Safety is way more important than saving a few pennies at the repair shop. I can go on and on.
Big thumbs up to you on this fantastic review!!! Believe it are not, you answered all my question before asking. I'm a previous owner of the 2011 s550 witch I miss dearly, but now that you mention this generation ride smoother, I'm sold. Smooth, quiet, and sound system is of upmost important to me. My old 2011 s550 had amg 20" rims which give it a harder ride, this is why I'm not treating myself to a brand new one. You had mention that you hope they don't change things for the worst. Well they did. The 20" rims not good. They turned it into a limo catering for the back passenger. I don't care about all that stuff for a back passenger. This just means there are going to be more unnecessary things to break. The 2018 s550 has the baddest head lights of all! You know when it's coming. With that said, I will be hunting the country for a 2018 s550 with 18" rims in immaculate condition certified under 30,000 miles. This high mile review was great to know because that amazing car is a keeper.
Can believe that but those years looks more Japanese especially the headlights love the 2014/2015 Mercedes Benz S550 looks much better that’s the pure German styling of Mercedes Benz cars 😎
Wow what a good video I’m in the market right now for a 2014-2017 s class with between 40k-60k miles on it and I’m just curious on how bad it would be on reliability
Thank you so much my friend and yes either buy Certified Pre Owned if you're looking at 40k miles and pay for an additional warranty and you will be enjoying one of the best cars on the road
Once it comes time for my next car the S-Class, 7-Series, and A8L will compete for my business. That I’m a current A6 owner won’t score Audi any brownie points in my decision. I will decide, very objectively, based on overall comfort, convenience (but not necessarily tech) features, space, reliability factors, and other objective factors. Most subjective factors (sans overall pleasure to drive), such as prestige, will have no bearing with my decision (after all, I’m buying for me, not for others). One of the big factors I will be considering - which one has an electronic interface that’s the least distracting. I look forward to this contest and subsequent acquisition!
This S Class is one of my favourites as well. Great review. I am quite shocked to see how much different the new S Class for year 2020-21 is going to look. The exterior and interior is so disappointing. It is all becoming like tesla in terms of touch screen minimalistic look - there is nothing luxurious anymore - Mercedes have destroyed the S Class same as the way they destroyed the CLS the former two shaped models were interesting to look at and showed class and beauty - the new CLS is the ugliest car ever... This is so sad.
This generation S-Class is the best one in my opinion. Have you seen spy shots of the next generation S-Class? It looks horrible. It looks almost identical to Genesis which is a let down. I hope they fix it before it come out.
Oh jeez that's crazy haha wow does your father know about me? I def dont want to make him feel uncomfortable or anything. You can email me or DM me on insta @exhaustsports if he is ok with it
I own a 2015 S-550 AMG EDITION. Traded in a 1995 S-Class. The 2015 STILL only has under 36,000 miles. Unbelievably comfortable . Also had a 1998 SL Roadster. Great car when you're young, but the Sedan is my favorite.
My experience of luxo cars is this. Small things that go wrong irritate at much higher level than say when driving a Toyota or GM run of the mill vehicle.
My grandparents always had S classes, currently own a 2021 S580. All previous models have made it to 200k miles. Besides the E class, the S is the best made Mercedes
Great video. Thank you. I previously had a '96 S-320 short wheel base. I love that car. Had to get rid of it after a couple years since I was in a more 'rugged' type job. Knew I wanted another S-Class one day. I just bought a Palladium Silver 2015 S-550 20" rims / sport package and premium and driver assist package. It has the Ash Exclusive leather and silver wood. 46K miles, one owner from local Benz store. Sorry for the long description, but I saw this color combination and was just blown away. It is a beautiful car and rides so incredibly smooth. I was originally looking for a LS460, but couldn't find one in good shape. Glad I didn't. The interior of the Mercedes I think is much nicer. Certainly has a lot of tech and the driver and passenger seats are better than any massage chair you can buy for your house. I'm very excited to be back in an S-Class and especially the S-550. Mercedes did a great job with this car. Sure I could have bought a new car for $40K, but I can drive this beautiful, one-owner S and turn heads for the same price... I'll do this all day long. Yes. Recommend the warranty. I would love to see you do a video on great warranties to buy for a car like this. Some warranty companies are terrible. Again, great video. Thank you.
I just bought a 2015 too with 78k miles, let me know if you have any issues. Oh and remember the wiring harness issue! Oil has been known to get in their and short out components, keep an eye on that! Replace all the coolant lines too when you got some extra cash laying around. After you do those two, change the oil every 5k miles to protect the turbos and you should be in a pretty solid vehicle.
Always been a Mercedes Benz fan every since a kid bro I think what first always caught me and others was the looks hands down I fell in love with Mercedes Benz looks and always thought and said their the best looking cars but after during a lot of research and from personal comments from people saying how horrible the reliability was and they were switching to Lexus I decided to own one but still have a love for Mercedes and will still get that S class for the weekends lol and keep my Lexus as a daily driver hopefully I won’t have to visit the repair shop after the warranty on the Mercedes runs out since I won’t be driving it everyday 😂🤣
Nice! Growing up I was a BMW fan boy but yea I love Mercedes design and swagger its so good. You will have one for sure my friend. And you will be daily driving one too because when the time comes, you would have made it to the point where when it breaks, you just throw it away and buy a new one 😆
Hey Kevin, I’m coming out of 2007 335 6mt and want to get into a car either more reliable, or cheap enough where I have a budget to throw some money at it. Seriously considering an 08 ls460, there’s a few in my area for 8-10k. Definitely don’t want to sacrifice the sports car element of a car, and I feel like the LS is quick enough where I’ll still be satisfied, but I’m interested in what you might get for a budget of around 10k. Any suggestions?
Hmm for 10k I would probably advise you to get an Infiniti with a warranty. LS is pretty fast but doesn't handle nearly as well as Bimmers and Infinit. The LS is a phenomenal cruiser. Again, I'm sure you will love it but Infiniti or Lexus, please pay that 2k and get a warranty you will sleep well at night
Had & drove lexus LS and ES, volvo, audi a8, bmw 7 etc etc ... but nothing drives like s class. I have 2013 s class, then new model 2014 ordered and waited 6 mo for delivery [put 80k miles on it] then 2016 but having vibration issue which nashville mercedes dealer - of music city - were incompetent to fix it and very rude/elusive with customer service, they actually sold the car with this issue!! However last s class 2019 bought few months ago from chicago with 4.6 km miles on clock, one owner... The 2019 is truly what I like very much! I intended and have couple test drive with 2022 but no tks, not so practical and resting the arm in the the door cavity is very uncomfortable, just not the same as in the previous models. The 2019 560 4 matic ultra equipped model is something that pleases me, plus it has 18 inch rims, which compared to 20 inch rims, the wheels are much quieter and softer giving the maximum comfort not really that sporty feeling but I really don't care and I hope that I can drive 250-300k miles without serious problems. At the moment I'm thinking of making a pair with the lexus L 600....
I got this car with the unlimited mile warranty. I love it. I also have driven a rolls Royce wraith and I prefer my s class over the wraith. The wraith is just for looks. I’ll keep my s class.
@@ryans-d7d That's outstanding. What dealership? I have never heard of an unlimited mile warranty. Especially on a Benz.. Is it an in house warranty program only from that dealer? Sorry for the questions. I'm interested in buying one of these and I would like a similar warranty if possible
I bought my 2015 S550 in July 2014 and has 80,000 miles on it. I've replaced both batteries at about 50,000 miles. The rear brakes have screeched loudly whenever it goes in reverse since I bought the car and can be really loud in the wintertime. But the overall maintenance has been minimal so far. I've got my fingers crossed since the dealership is an hour and a half away. It is a fine riding car although a rather expensive one. Let me know if you have one and what to expect during the next 50,000 or so miles.
The zero to 60 is mid 4 seconds which is pretty quick. The fit and finish is pretty good but it isnt like the w126 and 140. Most mercedes do well with high mileage. The value has jumped recently. Just a few points

Bro...u need to review the BMW f10 m5
I really want to I had an opportunity but it got sold. In 2010/2011 when that car dropped, it was my dream car briefly
It’s a model year ‘14 S-Class or newer not a ‘13. The delay your experiencing with throttle inputs isn’t turbo lag it’s a designed feature of larger engined Mercedes. If you want all the power you have to stab the throttle to the overdrive button. Try to get your hands on a ‘12-‘16 E550. It has that same twin turbo motor but in a smaller more driver focused package, 402 hp 448 bhp. Such a sleeper!
It's neither, its a '15 😆 I like how confidently you said that tho
@@MeynMotorGroup Wooooow. Just checked their website but you said it was a ‘13 in the description lol.
A wise man once told me that “money is truly not an issue when you can order a S-class directly out of Stuttgart.” Hope to do that one day.
I would love to meet this wise man, or perhaps he's a wise guy 😆 but yes that would be epic you will def order one from Stuttgart very soon my friend
Exhaust Sports Auto 😂🤣
you probably wouldn’t believe, but the guy who told me that was actually “connected”. He used to run one of the largest privately owned mortgage lending groups in New Jersey. His vehicle lineup was ridiculous.

Wow wth that's insane. It's as if these people don't think about the consequences like they're smart enough probably an IQ of 150 to scam their way to the top but have the brain of a gnat when it comes to the fact they will be caught. Either way pretty cool to hear thanks for sharing 😆

I have a 2014 S550 with 120k miles and it continues to run flawlessly.
All the S classes that used for limo service have this wheels. It is probably why has this much miles.
True that's what it reminded me of
No not a limo but used for business, executive rental, company car and so on. Limos aren’t our everyday and it’s hard for them to do that ,I have mileage in such a short space of time.
Yes
This one was a personal use car according to the vehicle history report.
Yep just bought one 2015 143k miles Same exact specs
Getting ready to trade in a CL55 AMG for a 2016 S550 loaded with only 43300 miles on it... Im super excited!!
Nice
I work for Mercedes and I must say that the S Class is definitely the smoothest and quietest car I’ve ever driven
Nice! Really appreciate you sharing your insight you're def right the S class Really is different from the rest of the pack feels like you're driving through butter
Exhaust Sports Auto exactly!! love the buttery steering
Tesla
@@ll-kq5uz ive been in both. Tesla produces a lot of road noise. Mercedes has ALOT of sound proofing for that. It is quieter.
Do u see alot of people bring them in for service?
I have a 2016 S550 and have 65,000 miles on it and have had absolutely no problems. Keep it service when recommended. I bought it brand new and ordered it directly from Germany.
That must have been nice to own it since new. Def the best luxury car I've driven
That's why
For how much
Mine was 124k
That's a wise choice
I'm so sad that Mercedes is doing away with non-badge distinguishers for their models. I miss being able to tell an S class from the headlights. Was a good idea.
Yea I will admit they all are just shrunken versions of the S class lol I still enjoy the presence of this car but that's mostly because we know what it is haha
@@MeynMotorGroup right. Now people are fkn around thinking the C class is an S
Yup lol that's me gets me every time 🤣
Exhaust Sports Auto 😂 so true
Still can nothing like a s class
Love the high mileage reviews. I have owned every s class body since the late seventies. This gen finally grew on me. Currently in love with my 07 s550 sport. Drives better than my Bentley. Gonna pull the switch on on ne soon. But I still think my 07 looks better.
I'm still in love with my 09 with 60k miles. You feel different every time you sit in an S class
You must be rich.
My father has the S550 and is always finding himself getting unintentional speeding tickets😂 I haven’t experienced many cars as im still pretty young but Ive been lucky to spend lots of time driving the S550. Its such a phenomenal car to drive. So smooth, so luxurious, and you definitely feel like the king of the road. Another thing worth noting is that when you put the cars suspension and engine in Sport mode its a blast to drive with that 450+ HP V8 😍
Mercedes are reliable if properly taken care of like any car. Cars that were this highly engineered and ahead of its time will be more expensive to maintain so people must not complain. But look after it and it'll go for years. Look, 150k miles and still driving like new. And that's a testament to their build quality, solidity and engineering. My dad has a 2005 C Class with 300,000kms and it drives like new. Interior looks immaculate. Paint is still excellent. That's quality products.
Correct well put my friend
I have a 1997 s500 with a 198,000 miles EVERYTHING WORKS AND WOULD NOT MOVE TO ANOTHER S CLASS THIS IS THE GRANDDADDY OF THE S CLASS
Certainly agree with you that w140 is the last over engineered mercedes benz
True, that car is just breaking in.
That year S class aged very well. You get one of those 550's and black it out and black Benz wheels and you are looking like a bag of money. No one would care if it's used or 150k miles. As long as it's clean and mean is all that matters.
Hey thanks again my friend for stopping by great to see you. I absolutely agree all people see is the exterior and this has swag for days
Why black it out? That makes it look cheap. Plus black wheels look like spare wheels.
That's subjective besides the "murdered out" look is very popular commonly done to baller executive luxury cars
@@MeynMotorGroup exactly its a simple way to make a non current car look special.
SDav21 I agree, imo they look better with OEM lighting and wheels. Modified versions look aftermarket, which is what they are. No hate, people are different so get what you like best
When future and drake did the song digital dash, this the car they were rapping about haha
Oh I bet rappers love these lol
I owned 3 s550s, a 2010 back in 2013, then a 2014 back in 2016, then a 16 model, both had the amg appearance package, currently drive a 16 s550 coupe with the amg package, looks so good in the coupe, love the benz! Big body or nothing baby!
Mercedes can be very reliable if you don’t delay service and don’t go cheap on maintenance.
Yea I suppose that's true this is the second time I've been blown away, Range Rovers have been aging really well too thanks again for stopping by
Thats with any car
Kyle try that with Chrysler bud,
EXACTLY!!!! For the exception of the w251 R class. Those vans were made to fail. Best one i've owned was an 08 w219 cls550. W240 Maybach 57 is reliable as hell too as long as you know a good mechanic.
You better read this: The W222 engine is worst engine ever built by Mercedes Benz MY2013 - MY 2016 or 2013 to 2020 S class V 8 “The exhaust valve assembly might not work properly etc. this means you need a new Cylinder head or both!
The Water thermostat open at 217 Fahrenheit, Water Boil at 212 Fahrenheit you must remove the coolant to clean the coolant back flow.
The temperature reading in the car display never goes aver 200 Fahrenheit I check the engine temperature was 217 to 225 Fahrenheit without any fan coming on (Back flow) the manual warning on page 295 if the coolant temperature is above 257 Fahrenheit do not drive.
The rigged the software “wrote a CALL” like they did in the Mercedes Benz Diesel Engine.
The exhaust valve problem trigger “Fuel system monitor not completed” 17 states in the USA DO NOT PASS inspection to drive the car “Done” and you cannot do anything about.
When you drive this car you feel like a trespassing peasant standing on a royal carpet.
That's exactly how I felt 😆
I love the S Class. Definitely a top tier dream car
Yea I agree one heck of a car for sure thanks for stopping by
Truly the best car in the world.
The W222 will age well judging from the leaked pictures of the upcoming W223 S-Class.
Yea I saw some gross pics get leaked but I think a new E class got announced that didn't look as bad
I love the Sopranos references. Please never stop with those 😂
Glad you appreciated that 😆
hahaha i was thinking "hmm is that the 150k s-class for sale on Raleigh Craigslist" and low and behold it is. I saw that exact car in person last week, it's actually in very good shape.
It actually sold lol. Hopefully that buyer paid 4k for the warranty lol
I own this car and enjoy driving it everyday ,I have a 4 matic and I have never gotten stuck in the snow here in nyc
I have a 2012 s550 with 59k miles. Car has been perfect for what it is. I put 20’s on it an added an electronic lowering mode. Car looks and drive beautiful
U switch the air ride with lowering mode?
2014 s550 163k miles its been decently reliable just needed a new water pump and some small thing here and there
I have a 2016 S550 99k miles rides like a beast
the s-class is one of the smoothest quietest cars arounds. but a bentley takes that to the next level. there is a very noticeable improvement in the bentleys build.
The previous gen s class you drive had the same engine and transmission and it actually had about 50 less horsepower. So while it was athletic it was not faster than the one in this video. The 4.7 v8 amd 7g tronic tranny were use from 2012 all the way to 2017. Then it was replaced by the 4.0 in the s560. And all the previous gen s classes (W221) aged beautifully if they weren’t ragged out by stupid drivers amd kids. I have a 2010 s550 that looks brand mew and everything works with no rattles or squeaks at almost 130,000 miles on it now. The S class that aged like garbage and us terrible build quality was the w220 from 2000 to 06. Such a terrible car to follow up the acclaimed and most dignified s class ever, the W140.
Have a 2014 w222 with 132k miles drives perfect just makes a weird flapping noise sometimes when going slow and not to temperature I’ve been told by my friend it’s probably my timing chain but Mercedes said if it was the timing chain it would idel roughly idk my favorite car I’ve ever owned still 🙄 I got rid of my Cadillaic to keep the Mercedes as my second car and a 2014 Mercedes I got for 20k is 1000x nicer then my gfs Kia telluride which was 60k same tech as a 2023 car so if ur looking for a car get a used 2014-2017 s class for like 25k you’ll not regret it
I think I’m going to get me a 15 or 16 the price dropped significantly
To give a reference, I drive this car from LA to San Diego and back in one night with distronic plus on, there’s light to moderate traffic. 4.5 hours drive with only 15mins rest. I got off the car at 11pm that night and still felt Ok. I’m the kinda person that used to rest every single hour of highway driving.
Good to see they held up nicely after 150k!
Yea it really did. Thanks again for watching my friend
we have a 2015 S350d lang (with all options) as a taxi here in Finland currently has 250k miles and still gets around 6k miles monthly. Such an amazing car to drive but yet reliable and fuel efficient thanks to the diesel engine. Driving 10-15 hours a day this is the car i want.
@@skybiz4520 what?
We had the privilege of "stealing" my friend's bosses 2000 S500 4matic back in the day and it was absolutely baller even back then. The size of the back seat, the quiet and cozy interior, the peasant blockers, and that smoooooth V8 were just so satisfying.
This is probably the highest mileage W222 I’ve seen reviewed. Looks in great condition too. The 222’s are generally great cars reliability wise.
Yea I couldn't believe it, I was going to review a 100k mile one but then this showed up just crazy. And are they really reliable? Most here in the comments don't think so haha
Exhaust Sports Auto im sorta biased as I had a 221 that I adored but the 222’s seem to be pretty good cars. The motor is nice and solid, the transmission rarely has issues, and most of the electronics and suspension systems have gotten the kinks worked out of them by now. There are significantly less horror stories on the 222 forums than the 221 forums. The 221 had a few crippling issues from the start and the 222 doesn’t have any huge ones off the top of my head.
I seen a 2015 S class for sale with 240k miles in a mint condition.
@@dimab8753 wtf 😂😂😂
Mines has 170k miles
I got a 2017 s560 140k miles and I agree that it’s a great riding care….no issues
How is the transmission and engine problems? Any advice? Thanks
Have you had any issues since purchasing? I’m really close to pulling the trigger on a 2016 S550 4matic with 130k miles on it and am both excited & nervous about it. Any advice?
@ryanmurphy1985 did you get it ??. I'm getting a 2014 with 130k miles. Just saying F it
Maybe you can do a review on the 2014-2017 S550 and the potential problems that will occur and prices for repairs,also do a review on the S65 AMG,talk about POWER,it's BEASTLY,great reviewing my man.... MERCEDES BENZ S CLASS IS KING!!!!!!
Yo bro remember me the 2006 Lexus LS430 owner that u said don’t ever get rid of and I told u I already been told myself I never will lol well your on the right channel bro this is my favorite car channel and best hands down 👊🏾✊🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Usually my suggestion is to get a warranty with cars like this so you dont have to worry about it haha. But if you're interested in this car, the forums are a phenomenal place for that sort of real world information. Thanks again for stopping by my friend
@@MeynMotorGroup what kind of warranty. Would Mercedes still cover it?
Mercedes-Benz S-class the pinnacle of Automobile ...
Also Mercedes is the #1 Selling Luxury Brand in the World, 4 yrs in a Row!! (2019 Sales) Mercedes 2.34 Million, BMW 2.17m,
Audi 1.85m, Jaguar / Land Rover 558,000,
Lexus 298,000, Cadillac 156,000
-- Mercedes S-class has been #1 in the Large Luxury Sedan Category every single year since 1972 for 48 yrs straight in World Wide Sales!!
Mercedes Amg GTR PRO lapped Nurburgring in only 7:04 if you want a Luxury Fast Toy! 😉
Benz has great swagger
I can’t believe someone drove 150k miles with that interior color 🥴
Its the best interior color
@@MeynMotorGroup exactly. Cream interior on the S class is the best option you can go with
Yup lol but again its all preference and looks are subjective. So many people that ruin the looks of these cars by getting a plain black interior but its the most common color I suppose peope are worries about getting it dirty but still worth getting the Cream only choice for me
@@MeynMotorGroup you look like a desi, so it's only natural you like the lighter colours, here in India at least premium cars only have lighter interiors, wether it's tan brown or biege because of airiness it brings about in the cabin. Well India is a hot country so it makes sense to not go with black which is seen as suffocating over here
Exhaust Sports Auto idk, im looking into buying a 2016 S550, and i will not buy a creme interior lol, all preference tho
In terms of reliability, maintenance and not being a money pit, would you recommend a 2014 and up s550(w222) or 2014 and up c class (w205)?
C class will always be cheaper. It is their entry level model so that can’t afford to have major things go wrong. But, both are amazing cars
@Roberto Vidal Garcia a c class is very simple to maintain. It is no different then any foreign or domestic car. My company has a fleet of 18 2016+ c class 4-matic with the highest mileage reaching 168,000 miles. Only thing we’ve had to do is regular maintenance, tires brakes etc. never had any problems; fantastic cars 10/10 recommend!!!
As a European I owned many different Benz models, never had any rattling problems with any of them … in Europe those cars will run 300.000 - 400.000 km any day of the week , and then some … you won’t need insurance if you maintain and take care of your Benz , and don’t abuse it … S550 will give you years of enjoyment , just take good care of it … btw I own 2015 S550 and 2013 GLK350 right now , and love them both , both fantastic cars … stay away from a dealer garage tho lol … plenty of parts on eBay or other on line places, do service at local shops like Midas, Valvoline and shops that specialize in European cars … if you go to Mercedes dealer it’ll cost you an arm and a leg
Whatever you guys read in the comment be careful. People make it sounds like is reliable but rarely will you see a comment that says they have over 200k miles in an s class. When something goes wrong, it’ll be super expensive to fix. If you want reliability, Lexus but if you want the best comfort and luxury that’ll cost a bit a dough, the s class
So funny, nobody in Europe is gonna think Lexus is a true alternative for a Benz. Not bashing Lexus or trying to start a debate. But you can see what marketing can do (and yes, I know, Luxury EXport US).
Anyone else watching this video in 2022 with utter disappointment since the s class is no more, its all A class now with size variation
I own 2006 s350 , currently 62k miles and I love this car, yeah it's kinda old but can't beat the comfort it gives you on the road, so relaxing.10-12 hrs trips you body don't feel at all. Same trips I did on Honda or Toyota you get hella tired. Love it, I know German cars and their reliability but I do all by myself.
S classes of all generations are amazing for sure
IMO I like the w221 than w222, with its bulging fenders it looks special. Nowadays all Merc looks the same.
I’m giggling with you just watching it because I know exactly what you mean! I had 1995 Merc Benz s500 and it was like riding in a boat! I was that boy in the city 😭😭
The best S-Class since the w140 chassis.
I agree
Yes it is! I really love my w140 even though I like the swb more than the lwb version😁
Love the way S Class Benzes ride going down the road. Soft enough to be comfortable but firm enough so it handles well and doesn't float and wallow everywhere. Quiet too.
Yes that's another good point you brought up, it's not wallowy there is confidence here that something like the 3rd gen LS lacks and this aids in the quality feel the S class has
Exhaust Sports Auto Uh oh bro do I see u in a S class in the near future lol
Exhaust Sports Auto I believe your going to keep your LC though either way if not a respect that in life u always do what makes u happy not anybody else approval to be the happiest within yourself
Nah I'm too poor for an S class haha LC is a masterpiece on the street has more grunt and sounds
Exhaust Sports Auto I feel u bro and always happy your happy with your LC remember u saying how bad u wanted it bro that dream came true so hey we just have to keep on dreaming to make those dreams come true I dreamed of a Lex got one now we got to get that Benz to make our car dreams complete 😂 but hey whenever we do get that S class we will just stack up some side money for the repairs when need be when that warranty runs out lol
dont forget about the e class w212 does more than the job and comes close to the s class especially if you get the luxury pckg with the big grill
it's a beautiful car , but when i seen it in person, it looks smaller than the generation before
It is but the interior is dope
The new body is OK but they need to bring back the fenders which in my opinion made the W221 special. The interior of the 2013 also needs to come back with all metal buttons and rectangular air vents. The little keypad for radio stations and phone calls need to return which is much easier to use while driving than the little mouse pad like feature newer ones now have; very distracting and dangerous to use while driving.
yea it's all subjective
Yeah the bulging fenders make it the w221 generation so much special & I think w221 feels more mercedes then the newer version
I had a 2015. Absolutely guzzles gas. Better a 500 than a 560.
The new w223 is a much nicer car, but there were things I loved about the w222 that I don’t like in the w223.
I miss the large horizontal display.
I like the w222’s road presence more.
The W222 also felt roomier for tall men.
I love Lexus but I felt the same way driving the s550. However, I’ll stick to the LS. I know I can get 300,000 miles on it with no problem and the maintenance is cheap.
Haha yea the other cars are more than smooth enough LS is still incredible to drive no complaints and a satisfying ownership experience. In all fairness, I'm surprised how reliable the W222 is some owner bought a 2014 Brand New and put 215k miles in 6 years with no issues lol. He later sold it and bought a new S560 crazy
@@MeynMotorGroup History 1,000,000 miles. There is no Lexus out there with that accomplishment!!! nor carry the prestige!!! I love the interior door light, so unique. Lexus is not solid like a benz. Safety is way more important than saving a few pennies at the repair shop. I can go on and on.
Big thumbs up to you on this fantastic review!!! Believe it are not, you answered all my question before asking. I'm a previous owner of the 2011 s550 witch I miss dearly, but now that you mention this generation ride smoother, I'm sold. Smooth, quiet, and sound system is of upmost important to me. My old 2011 s550 had amg 20" rims which give it a harder ride, this is why I'm not treating myself to a brand new one. You had mention that you hope they don't change things for the worst. Well they did. The 20" rims not good. They turned it into a limo catering for the back passenger. I don't care about all that stuff for a back passenger. This just means there are going to be more unnecessary things to break. The 2018 s550 has the baddest head lights of all! You know when it's coming. With that said, I will be hunting the country for a 2018 s550 with 18" rims in immaculate condition certified under 30,000 miles. This high mile review was great to know because that amazing car is a keeper.
Can believe that but those years looks more Japanese especially the headlights love the 2014/2015 Mercedes Benz S550 looks much better that’s the pure German styling of Mercedes Benz cars 😎
Wow what a good video I’m in the market right now for a 2014-2017 s class with between 40k-60k miles on it and I’m just curious on how bad it would be on reliability
Thank you so much my friend and yes either buy Certified Pre Owned if you're looking at 40k miles and pay for an additional warranty and you will be enjoying one of the best cars on the road
Once it comes time for my next car the S-Class, 7-Series, and A8L will compete for my business. That I’m a current A6 owner won’t score Audi any brownie points in my decision. I will decide, very objectively, based on overall comfort, convenience (but not necessarily tech) features, space, reliability factors, and other objective factors. Most subjective factors (sans overall pleasure to drive), such as prestige, will have no bearing with my decision (after all, I’m buying for me, not for others). One of the big factors I will be considering - which one has an electronic interface that’s the least distracting. I look forward to this contest and subsequent acquisition!
Good for you I wish more people would look at cars the way you do
Exhaust Sports Auto thanks a lot man!
2016 Audi A8L….. amazing. Bulletproof 3.0 and solid as a rock.
@@tombiondi9969 I’ve got a ‘16 A6. It’s been a great car thus far.
This S Class is one of my favourites as well. Great review. I am quite shocked to see how much different the new S Class for year 2020-21 is going to look. The exterior and interior is so disappointing. It is all becoming like tesla in terms of touch screen minimalistic look - there is nothing luxurious anymore - Mercedes have destroyed the S Class same as the way they destroyed the CLS the former two shaped models were interesting to look at and showed class and beauty - the new CLS is the ugliest car ever... This is so sad.
I agree they are beginning to loose their way and I HATE the touch screen trend. Even this is too much but ok I guess. Thanks agajn
@@MeynMotorGroup i agree Kevin, it is sad
I would not purchase no Benz with 150,000 miles bro
That's understandable 😂 best leased for sure than discard after warranty is finished
This generation S-Class is the best one in my opinion. Have you seen spy shots of the next generation S-Class? It looks horrible. It looks almost identical to Genesis which is a let down. I hope they fix it before it come out.
Yea I just saw them I hate the rear the most looks pinched in I like this current S class as well
I live in Cary and my dad just got a Rolls Royce Ghost, would be cool if you wanted to review it once we get it registered.
Oh jeez that's crazy haha wow does your father know about me? I def dont want to make him feel uncomfortable or anything. You can email me or DM me on insta @exhaustsports if he is ok with it
I own a 2015 S-550 AMG EDITION. Traded in a 1995 S-Class. The 2015 STILL only has under 36,000 miles. Unbelievably comfortable . Also had a 1998 SL Roadster. Great car when you're young, but the Sedan is my favorite.
News flash: they did screw it up for 2021.
Mercedes "The Phuqing Best or Nothing " 😎❤
Haha yup
If you love this body style then you you would love the 2006 toyota crown majesta. They look exact
My experience of luxo cars is this. Small things that go wrong irritate at much higher level than say when driving a Toyota or GM run of the mill vehicle.
My grandparents always had S classes, currently own a 2021 S580. All previous models have made it to 200k miles. Besides the E class, the S is the best made Mercedes
Back here after vommiting from seeing the new one.
Hahaha yea I understand this W222 is where it's at
This is my dream car but why would I buy this car at 150,000 miles ? Especially a Mercedes v8.
Gotta get a warranty lol
Exhaust Sports Auto what warranty want a 150,000 miles V8 Mercedes.... ?
Cary imports sells a warranty for any car through Penn that's why i come to this dealership
Go drive one with only 40k miles now. If love one with 150k I can only imagine what you would think of mine
Clearly an example that has been taken care of. Would love to know how much money has been spent on repairs in this cars lifetime though..?
I think this was a limo lol
@@MeynMotorGroup
Makes sense...Probably was cleaned and dealership maintained its whole life. It shows
What’s with all the “mob” comments? Are you obsessed with organized crime syndicates? Relax with the mob comments guy, okay buddy.
Don't be scared
I bought a 2015 S550 new. Love it and still driving it. Silver with white int. not a mark on it. 82100 miles
Cool video. Though I'm pretty sure you can buy a S Class in short or long wheelbase. Looks like your driving the short wheelbase.
What the differences? How can you identify short wheelbase? Is there a different chassis #?
How much is a warranty
4k
mine, 2015, was trashed from the potholes in NYC after one year, most Mercedes have trouble with the front end, alignment issues, brakes etc
I can see that
W221 exterior with w222 interior 👌 😍 the perfect mercedes!!
Ls 460. The best ever
I dont have the luxury of being biased. But you can go to the official Lexus channel and watch their commercials
I had to come back to this video to cleanse my palette after laying eyes on the new S-Class...
Ahaha yea I prefer this one too
Comparing this car to the ls400 🤝🏽
Great video. Thank you. I previously had a '96 S-320 short wheel base. I love that car. Had to get rid of it after a couple years since I was in a more 'rugged' type job. Knew I wanted another S-Class one day. I just bought a Palladium Silver 2015 S-550 20" rims / sport package and premium and driver assist package. It has the Ash Exclusive leather and silver wood. 46K miles, one owner from local Benz store. Sorry for the long description, but I saw this color combination and was just blown away. It is a beautiful car and rides so incredibly smooth. I was originally looking for a LS460, but couldn't find one in good shape. Glad I didn't. The interior of the Mercedes I think is much nicer. Certainly has a lot of tech and the driver and passenger seats are better than any massage chair you can buy for your house. I'm very excited to be back in an S-Class and especially the S-550. Mercedes did a great job with this car. Sure I could have bought a new car for $40K, but I can drive this beautiful, one-owner S and turn heads for the same price... I'll do this all day long. Yes. Recommend the warranty. I would love to see you do a video on great warranties to buy for a car like this. Some warranty companies are terrible. Again, great video. Thank you.
I just bought a 2015 too with 78k miles, let me know if you have any issues. Oh and remember the wiring harness issue! Oil has been known to get in their and short out components, keep an eye on that! Replace all the coolant lines too when you got some extra cash laying around. After you do those two, change the oil every 5k miles to protect the turbos and you should be in a pretty solid vehicle.
What is a "gush" sensation in relation to cars? 😂
Just curious
Always been a Mercedes Benz fan every since a kid bro I think what first always caught me and others was the looks hands down I fell in love with Mercedes Benz looks and always thought and said their the best looking cars but after during a lot of research and from personal comments from people saying how horrible the reliability was and they were switching to Lexus I decided to own one but still have a love for Mercedes and will still get that S class for the weekends lol and keep my Lexus as a daily driver hopefully I won’t have to visit the repair shop after the warranty on the Mercedes runs out since I won’t be driving it everyday 😂🤣
Nice! Growing up I was a BMW fan boy but yea I love Mercedes design and swagger its so good. You will have one for sure my friend. And you will be daily driving one too because when the time comes, you would have made it to the point where when it breaks, you just throw it away and buy a new one 😆
Exhaust Sports Auto Lol
*laughs in Lexus*
Who's laughing why
@@MeynMotorGroup Lexus's last way longer than 150k miles
So when your brake actuator fails before 150k miles, and its costs you $5k to replace, will you still be laughing? I wonder
The next gens interior looks worse. Unless you like all screens 😒
Yea I hate that trend
I’d rather be driven in one than drive.
lolwut? they want 30k for a 150k mile s class?
Yes
Can we have a video on the V6 S350 or the S400?
If I can find one my friend for sure!
Hey Kevin, I’m coming out of 2007 335 6mt and want to get into a car either more reliable, or cheap enough where I have a budget to throw some money at it. Seriously considering an 08 ls460, there’s a few in my area for 8-10k. Definitely don’t want to sacrifice the sports car element of a car, and I feel like the LS is quick enough where I’ll still be satisfied, but I’m interested in what you might get for a budget of around 10k. Any suggestions?
Hmm for 10k I would probably advise you to get an Infiniti with a warranty. LS is pretty fast but doesn't handle nearly as well as Bimmers and Infinit. The LS is a phenomenal cruiser. Again, I'm sure you will love it but Infiniti or Lexus, please pay that 2k and get a warranty you will sleep well at night
Exhaust Sports Auto thanks my man I appreciate it and love the channel btw, may you be blessed with many subscribers ;)
Haha thank you my friend Im just humbled to have amazing viewers like you. Stay blessed
Unfortunately the new one (2021) is not beautiful anymore with those ugly tail lights.
Yea the pinched in looking tail lights are the worst
Had & drove lexus LS and ES, volvo, audi a8, bmw 7 etc etc ... but nothing drives like s class. I have 2013 s class, then new model 2014 ordered and waited 6 mo for delivery [put 80k miles on it] then 2016 but having vibration issue which nashville mercedes dealer - of music city - were incompetent to fix it and very rude/elusive with customer service, they actually sold the car with this issue!! However last s class 2019 bought few months ago from chicago with 4.6 km miles on clock, one owner... The 2019 is truly what I like very much! I intended and have couple test drive with 2022 but no tks, not so practical and resting the arm in the the door cavity is very uncomfortable, just not the same as in the previous models. The 2019 560 4 matic ultra equipped model is something that pleases me, plus it has 18 inch rims, which compared to 20 inch rims, the wheels are much quieter and softer giving the maximum comfort not really that sporty feeling but I really don't care and I hope that I can drive 250-300k miles without serious problems. At the moment I'm thinking of making a pair with the lexus L 600....
You can feel but you must not be a Sunday driver!
I got this car with the unlimited mile warranty. I love it. I also have driven a rolls Royce wraith and I prefer my s class over the wraith. The wraith is just for looks. I’ll keep my s class.
I’d also suggest buying the wheel and tire warranty on this car to.
Smart very smart that's how it's done and that's how you buy euro cars
Did you get the unlimited mile warranty from a Mercedes dealership or elsewhere?
@@jaysmilez3118 I got it from the dealership
@@ryans-d7d That's outstanding. What dealership? I have never heard of an unlimited mile warranty. Especially on a Benz.. Is it an in house warranty program only from that dealer? Sorry for the questions. I'm interested in buying one of these and I would like a similar warranty if possible
The rims look like Toyota corolla hub caps
So how much was the extended warranty for this vehicle??

I bought my 2015 S550 in July 2014 and has 80,000 miles on it. I've replaced both batteries at about 50,000 miles. The rear brakes have screeched loudly whenever it goes in reverse since I bought the car and can be really loud in the wintertime.
But the overall maintenance has been minimal so far. I've got my fingers crossed since the dealership is an hour and a half away. It is a fine riding car although a rather expensive one.
Let me know if you have one and what to expect during the next 50,000 or so miles.
Hi, how have the past 9 months treated you with the car?
hows car been bro?
I own this car....and I absolutely LOVE it!!
how many miles you got so far ?
@@skionen1781 just over 100 thousand. I only drive it on the weekends. Or when I want to feel like a BOSS!!! LOL
The zero to 60 is mid 4 seconds which is pretty quick. The fit and finish is pretty good but it isnt like the w126 and 140. Most mercedes do well with high mileage. The value has jumped recently. Just a few points
Is the S class reliable pls tell me I am planning to purchased
No but just get a warranty or buy it CPO
i feel far more relaxed driving my 23 yo GM car ...I wear ear plugs and it has sheep skin seat covers ...ignorance might be bliss.
