*SOLD* The S-Class, like this 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550, is still the best sedan in the world *SOLD*

SOLD 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550 Sedan. Full review and test drive by Bill. SOLD

[@lambcast]

I have a 2010, and I have separation anxiety. I sat in the 2017, 2018 and I just can't find a reason to switch.. I did ceramic coating on my black 2010 and it looks new and the style seems timeless. I just hit 100k miles and while maintenance is hitting me for an average of $3000 a year (e.g., preventive work) this car has never failed me once (yet)... still drive like new and I've taken it on 2 long 400 mile trips, each drive was a flawless experience.. and you have to be careful because doing 90mph in this feels like 60mph in another car. I have 2 other MB, a 2017 E300 (wife) and 2018 GLS 450... my 2010 S is still my favorite car, ever. *This car also just saved my family and I from a for-sure accident if we were in another car: A car moved out-of-place from a Stop sign into my right of way path on the road (no Stop sign for me, but for them).. I swear I hit the breaks expecting to lighten the impact of what was going to be for sure a side collision into the crossing vehicle... Nope.. the S-Class stopped on a dime, from 40mph, in less than 2 secs, the car was at a complete stop, no screeching, no sliding, just dead instant stop... I then told my kid in the car, when he get grown with his own family, don't drive anything but a MB...

I've just yesterday purchased a 2006 s class with the 320 v6 diesel which is popular in Europe, mine has 47,000 miles and it has been exceptionally well cared for, underneath is as new, I've never seen a cleaner car, even though it's over 16 years old I'm completely in love with all of it...a true masterpiece of German engineering....

[@Mercefreaken]

I absolutely love your car reviews, Bill - and it warms a Mercedes enthusiasts heart when I hear that you know these cars very well, and you know what you´re talking about! I have a similar S 500 (as they are badged here in Europe - same engine, though) from 06, and it´s by far the best car I´ve ever had. The power, the comfort, the attention to details... that´s just what makes the S-class stand out in the crowd. I´m confident that the lucky future owner of this 09 S550 will be extremely happy with the car! Cheers from Norway -Michael

[@collinmcginley2033]

I have a 2013 and it is the best. 400 horsepower twin turbo. heated cooled massage on all 4 seats. great handling and acceleration and with a Bluetooth adapter you can get apple car play. I'd say the seats are far more comfortable in the older models than in the new models.

[@MohammadUddinInTheHouse]

What kind of Bluetooth adapter do you have? I also have a 2013 s500 4matic but it would be nice to have apple carplay/andriod auto.

[@collinmcginley2033]

Beautiful cars!! Has everything you want in a car: Looks, speed, comfort. A truly complete package 💯

[@khalidsohailhakim8141]

I have 2008 4matic same interior with Sport + AMG package p1p2 package fully loaded. Now clocked 100000 miles and still drives like a dream. My previous one was s500 2006 sold at 275000. These are damn reliable cars. One thumb rule is Stitch in Time saves Nine. Be on top with maintenance of fluids and general stuff. You will enjoy trouble free ride for many years. The world uses this car in Taxis in middle east and drive for ever. If they can afford it so can you. But you need to make sure you dont buy a lemon in the first place. Get pre inspection ✅ done prior to deal. Loved the review bro. The Best or Nothing- Mercedes Benz.

[@faznout]

When this generation came out in 2007, it didn't feel or drive any different then the late 90s through 06 models. Not that there's anything wrong with that but I was surprised that it wasn't that big of a leap between the two. They did change the front interior of the car and the backseat area remained almost the same as far as styling. But then again that's most automakers for you.

[@bekabeka71]

That's why I prefer 7 series

[@ruemonbhattacharyya7730]

The later model W220s were actually great cars!

[@Scoharr]

Well, late 90s were the W140 series - wonderful cars, but a much older design. The W220 series (2000-2006 in the U.S.) were a beautiful design but plagued with electronic woes that were sorted out in the last couple years of production. The W221 is bigger, faster and more luxurious throughout, with a more modern interior but a more detached driving experience.

[@MrCarGuy]

The later years of W220 being better cars is such a massive myth. Everything about the earlier cars (save for first year, which U.S. didn't get) ended up being more reliable and easier to work on. The early COMAND 2.5 was more reliable than later units with D2B fiber optics and Airmatic suspension was far more reliable and easier to service than ABC (and convertible to springs). This myth is spread like wildfire by the clueless who just parrot the myth everywhere they go.

[@Scoharr]

@@MrCarGuy Hardly clueless but not worth the debate - I'll defer to your personal experience.

[@mathewclark1407]

Dude, it was so enjoyable listening to you go through the bells n whistles of this flagship S Class. You know your cars! Thanks for taking the time to put out this video, and i will close by Thanking you for the gut punch of laughter i had from your comments at the end of the video when the Range Rover was in front of you at the light.

[@marcissobadass]

Buddy you always make such nice videos of your cars. You make every car sound like it's the best car in the word. I know that this car is really great but your voice and charisma really take things to the next leve sometimesl. My friend wants to sell sell me one of these an 09 white with tan interior with TVs in the backs of the headrest and i might just get it after watching this if it will fit in my next garage at my next house. was actually thinking about an E550 but this S550 might be pretty cool too at 7k.

all i can say, if you can't afford to maintain them ...don't buy one. But the amount of pleasure you derive in owning and driving an S CLASS is truly breathtaking! I should know because I have a 2008 S Class 350...and it feels like you are driving on-air not on the road.

Now its only worth 4 to 6k so depending on cost to fix it this time it might have to be junked
