    the interior and features alone as a first luxury car definitely gives it its value , the fact that it keeps going down is because the majority of peoples interest has shifted and that is ok , I own a 016 model and trust me it still turns heads.

    Just FYI historically the seats in the S Class Coupe were magnesium framed which were horse hair padded then they switched to Amazonian Coconut Husks, I don't know what they were using in that generation but there's a reason those cars cost so much and the attention to detail in them is other worldly.

    I believe the reason why right-hand-drive S63s (and RHD S-Classes in general) weren’t offered with 4Matic AWD like the left-hand-drive cars was because of engineering and packaging constraints with the right-hand-drive steering rack and the front driveshafts to the front wheels on the 4Matic versions.

    I own the 2020 S-Coupe; had the 2015 prior and saddened that Mercedes-Benz has canceled the model as of 2022. I’ve not found anything that feels as good to drive so I’ll hold on to my 2020 or find a low miles 2021 but I doubt I’ll ever drive anything else.

      @eastbaystreet1242 9 місяців тому

      Yes. I was lucky and got one with very low mileage that had been babied (17k miles). No issues whatsoever - had an oil change done when I received the car and had my mechanic go over it - no concerns. I would buy it again, especially with Merc moving away from the V8. I hope you find one for yourself - phat, smooth cruiser that can turn into a beast when you are in the mood.@@kigzman1745

      I own this exact car, have had it for a little over two years. I use it as my daily. Other than wear and tear items like doing brakes and tires, I have spent approx $1000 of fixing random small issues. So in my experience so far, very reliable. Just over 100K on mine right now. All of the interior materials still look brand new
