An S-Class always has the best that Mercedes can offer at the time that it's made. Meaning it will have what most of other brands call innovative for the following 10 years.

So true-and the same can be said of the E-Class to a slightly lesser extent. My 2006 W211 E350 came with many features back then that slowly became ‘the norm’ for today’s mass market vehicles.

[@fasteddy917]

I think the dealer was overly optimistic when they were pricing the car and maybe when they bought it. Once again you were able to get a great car at a reasonable price. First thing I thought of was, the wheels are holding the car back and need to be changed. Great car and video. Thank you.

[@AAA-gd1od]

Hey! As for the sticky buttons in the center console, buy the WURTH WG-5 spray and literally soak the area. I have a the same car and those buttons get sticky and make them impossible to press because sometimes coffee/juice/other beverages spill in that area due to it being so close to the cup holders, what you do is get that spray and soak that area down (it wont damage the plastic or the buttons or the electric wiring underneath so don’t worry, and press the buttons to get the spray down the crevices, once the button releases and you are able to press it and it functions, continue with the rest. If a button is still sticky keep spraying it to soak it and keep pressing it still it releases. Hope this helps and saves you money!

I am not surprised that the car runs and drives fine and no warning lights and everything works. Because it has been DRIVEN and maintained. I have always owned Mercedes cars and I know them well.

Happy owner of 5 previous Mercedes currently driving 2 Mercedes diesels ,if you stay up to date with recommended service and maintenance they will perform and last significantly longer than other vehicles, As you stated drives like new, l agree with you also. Just serviced front suspension on one vehicle ,drives like a brand new car. As all German cars depreciation is horrendous, maintenance is not cheap, but the over all quality of ride and engineering is superior ,to the competition, S class are referred to as Panzer's ( tanks):

Bought a 2013 s550 for 21000 TTL out the door.89,000 on the clock.Pearl white,sandstone interior.Not a daily driver for me. Just a weekend toy and stored in winter.4matic and all the other goodies.

Congrads Randy Sweet Ride!

[@brokebuilt4827]

Man this is great on so many levels. The best part is it's had the timing job done recently, which (hopefully) means they also replaced the seal that can go bad behind the timing cover. I have a 13' S550 with the M278 and am dreading doing that seal.

[@MercedesMechanic]

The seals on the 2013 S550 are easy on the cam covers. Use a torque wrench though when putting the new screws back in (5 nM) because those little bolts are easy to break off and if you break one at the bottom, you'll likely not be able to recover due to the tight spaces. Also once you get covers off, Loctite makes a gasket remover spray for this LOCTITE SF 7200, do not, I repeat do not use sand paper or anything other than the spray and a soft cloth to get old material off if there's any left on it. Then use LOCTITE SF 7063 to clean it before putting new gasket sealant on. Use the sealant Mercedes sells and get the new bolts from dealer. You will also want new clamps for the turbo pipes and other hoses you remove as they'll likely not want to tighten back up for you when putting back together. You'll want a 1/4 inch universal joint socket that fits the bolts as you'll need it in two locations as well as one ratcheting boxed wrench same size for one location. If your covers are not sealed now, your engine is losing compression and once you seal them, you'll notice a huge response from gas pedal. Also change your oxygen sensors, there are 4, use Bosch from Napa. For this you'll either need to drop the exhaust or have a kid or woman with very small hands for the upstream driver side sensor as its impossible to get your hand on it. Also replace your cam magnets and cam sensors. You'll need the pigtails on these to intercept any oil from getting in the main harness. ZZPerformance on ebay made pigtails for the M278 engine for this purpose. If you don't use them and oil gets to your main harness, it'll be an engine pull out ($15,000). Do all these things which are easy for anyone that enjoys turning a wrench and your 2013 will drive like it did when brand new. You'll notice a huge difference in power and gas mileage. This work is easy so no need to dread it. Doing it yourself will save you thousands of $$$.

[@Bolsaa]

MB has come out with extended warranty on cylinder heads for these engines. If your lucky, your car will need one, then you will get a new head and a tech will reseal your covers and all new coolant lines!

Nice score. the ECO is for engine start and Stop at stops, where the gear indication letters on instrument panel, will be a green ECO when on. S and E button is for transmission, E is also called Comfort, the transmission usually starts in 2nd and smoother shifts, the S is standard is also a little more aggressive.

[@ascelot]

Would of thought ECO would effect the transmition and throtte and climate control, as in keeping engine revs low and changing gear sooner as well as reducing throttle response time as in what BMW does (Had 2013 manual).

[@r.weaver3769]

@@ascelot The E/S button does all of that, if you turn off the start/stop ECO button, the fuel map, throttle map, and trans shift points for eco are still on, just not the start/stop. Supposedly for short quick stops, like a street with stop signs at every block, for instance.

unfortunately they are more expensive issues,I just sold my 2015 with 175K miles to CarMax for $ 12K as it was "not fixable " .There was a combustion misfiring on the 8 th cylinder signal above the permissible limit value ,one side of the engine block need to be rebuild. That is a problem Mercedes has a bulletin out The transmission jerked under ballast we never could figure out what was the problem but the car was actually not driveable The headlights LCD stopped working first one later the other ,communication with control unit ,mal funktion with the camera Mercedes bulletin replace headlight ,they are almost $3000 each ,we replaced a cheap chinese control module what solved the problem at least till I sold it I have 2 of the best mechanic in my town working on it and they gave up

[@Bolsaa]

The m278 does not have valve cover gaskets. It is a sealant. I have never found one leaking from the valve cover. Only the front cylinder head covers and cam magnet seals, which is a fairly easy repair. Coolant lines can become brittle and brrak over time, which is a PITA. Valve seating issues leading to misfirees, but recently has become an extended warranty by MB. I just did ine a few weeks ago, both heads. Engine and transmission comes doen with shbframe.
