My mechanic feels similarly. I have an s63, and I remember him telling me "you bought the right one" I asked him what he meant, he said that I didnt buy the s65 (the v12). He felt the MB V8s were much more robust than the v12s.
AMG OMG
AMG-OMG
BTW, Tavarish.....BEST EBAY CHALLENGE EVER!!! not that I am biased towards MBs or anything...no...not at all!
Just to add, CARFAX says that this was a Florida car for its first 50K miles...no accidents reported...and the seller is offering an extended warranty...HELLO?!
uh, can't you just wash it? Besides, only 60,000 miles in nearly 15 years...barely 4000 miles per year.
Not very. Its actually the hydraulic Active Body Control (ABC) system that likes to go south on these W220s. Which is why you would want to take the seller up on the warranty that they are offering. The reliability of the V12 is debated - my MB mechanic doesn't like them at all.
Me likey!
Awesome!
I know! that even better...so when the ABC system inevitably blows up, you won't have to pay to fix it! ;-)
Nice find! I am looking at the ad for an estimated HP....I know stock its around 370...any ideas what the Renntech upgrades would take it to?
Oh, I am loving this one! Thanks Tavarish! How about 12 cylinders for the price of a new 4....er, not even....maybe a 3 cylinder engine'd new car even? Normally I would go for an AMG, but only 60,000 miles and less than 15 grand, nay, 13 grand, for an S600!? Whats not to like!?
I have mixed feelings....I love Lego and like the racing in F1, but not sure I was the goodness that is Lego to have anything to do the evil that is Bernie...
well, at least we know it hit the ground with the force of 1 G...
Be seeing you...hopefully....
Yeah, uh,that's not my name.....
In Russia, you dont find dead body, dead body finds you...
Obviously a morganatic marriage..
One of the best designed coupes....hell, best designed cars... The mix of elegance and power, in a package that can seat 4 people. The MB designers did a hell of a job with this! With typical depreciation may even be able to afford one in 5 to 10 years..
I had one back when I was in college. I could easily cram all my dorm stuff in it. Not only had the hatch and fold down second row, but also there was a rather deep "well" from the rear axle to the bumper- all, nice empty space.
