I have been a s class owner for a long time,my first s class was a 96 s500 that I parked with 429,000 km.Last years I bought my 2012 s550 with 90,000km.Its a black short wheelbase model with night vision.Its a dream to drive especially after I bought my Renntech tuner,with 705 lbs of torque it pushes you back in the seat hard.Ive put on 15,000 trouble free km on her now and look forward to putting on lots more.Great video by the way,Cheers from Calgary!

[@KM-bv3fp]

Daniel, it was your videos on the W220 and 221 that influenced me to by one of each over the last 8 years. I have re- watched each of them annually as they are so entertaining and refuel my passion for the car. I have really enjoyed both, and done a lot of repairs on both. Basically fixed all the common issues on each one. One thing I learned is that it is cheaper to buy the best maintained one than to fix up the cheap one. Oh, and you will enjoy the car better if you are driving it more than you are under it. Next time I might follow this advice. So... Where is the W222 video? They are hitting ideal depreciation and the prices of cars are finally getting back to reasonable. Now's your time my friend.

[@DanielKon15]

Super luv to hear it! Thing is, the w221 has been treating me good for a while now. We tight. But I am curious about w222 prices and will have a look. Thnx!

[@justinhamill954]

I know exactly what you mean I bought a 2007 CL550. Definitely steer away from the first year . That being said I still love my car. I should have started a KZbin video channel on repairing it. I replace all the door speakers every window regulator motor the ECM and transmission . The door panels started to sag. Don't get me started on the suspension Which is the ABC system. I had my seat bladders go out twice.

vid finally ready! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHLMgpJtaM-VhdU

[@ackvig]

Using THIS video as my MAIN guide (out of many), I FINALLY found 95% of my dream spec and the provenance of previous ownership that I was looking for just 30 minutes from my house and decided to pull the trigger. Almost walked due to no AWD, but realized I'd spend the next 6 months trying to recreate the deal right under my nose, now, plus everything else about the situation was simply too sweet to walk; One owner. Family matriarch who spec'd the car new from the MB dealership and dealer maintained at all intervals. All records. Car fax spectacular, clean title, no wrecks. Previous owner took it to the dealer if a bird pooped on it. Maintained in this manner until he died in November, 2023. Every last record, new tires, two keys, no wrecks, pano-roof, piano black. Disappointed he skipped the rear seat package, but the rear does have the automatic shades all around. AMG appearance package. I didn't want these AMG 20's, (AMG wheels are soft. Bend too easy), but damn they rock. As promised, (threatened?), in a previous thread, I had them shave the S550 badge at the detailer before I ever brought her home. Naturally aspirated. Lovely car, my 6th Benz and 3rd S-Class. The true successor to the W140 in my mind. Thanks for 5 years of (hilarious!) guidance in this purchase!

[@realitycheck469]

You are an entertainer! I had a 2008. The best or nothing? Nothing looks way more attractive than that beautiful but unreliable car. Other little things really disappointed me such as the interior wood cracking, the metal finish on the buttons pealing off, the leather on the armrest stretching, and many rattles. I liked how it looked, how big the rear seats were and the sounds of the doors closing. The rest of the car was not impressive. We are a Lexus family now and much happier.

[@TEXASWILDIN]

[@Max-mp7lp]

Was on the fence about buying a W221. Now I'm sold.

[@JettaRedIII]

While depreciation is technically a cost, it's more of a mathematical exercise than a true out-of-pocket cost. Depreciation only counts when doing your taxes. You've either purchased the car outright, or you have a car loan that is completely unrelated to depreciation. If you get a car that was reasonable well treated and didn't have any genetic predispositions for failure, they are much more affordable (valuable) than you indicate.

[@Angry-Lynx]

nope, depreciation is real cost, beacuse in the end when you sell it you will get back only part of price you paid for it ; so you basically lost money just because car is older and more used.

[@BoleDaPole]

thats why you never buy a new Mercedes unless you plan on keeping it for the next 15 years.

[@kevin9c1]

Another happy 07 S550 owner. I joke that it's the Camry of S-classes. It's a great car. I finally did have to do a front right strut but I simply shipped it to RMT in FL and $293 all-in later they shipped back my rebuilt air strut. They are super easy to change as well. Oh, it was the original, 17 year old strut. Hard to complain about that.

[@SuperJoeTendo]

This the most in depth car review I’ve ever seen

[@gotimelimousineinc2864]

Awesome video. I love the 2007 S550. I bought mine for $9500 in January 19'. 90,000 miles. But now I have to hold my breath and get ready to break the bank when it all goes bad.... ugh, I'm not prepared...sell, sell ,sell.....

[@bhasins]

Don't be scared. I bought my 2005 S550 with 70,000 miles in 8/2017 for $11,000. I have replaced the following till now: 1) engine and transmissions mounts, 2) both front struts, 3) AC fan, 4) Brakepads & rotors, 5) Starter, 6) Sparkplugs, 7) Fuel vapor canister repair. It sound like a lot but if look at these things carefully, they are regular wear and tear. I don't have any major engine issues... yet. I say keep the car and enjoy it. Keep up with the oil changes and small stuff here or there.

[@gotimelimousineinc2864]

@@bhasins are you serious? How much did all of those repairs cost you

[@bhasins]

@@gotimelimousineinc2864 Well, I don't go to the dealership. My indy mecahnic is very reasonable. Mounts for around $150, installation $125, Struts $130 each, installation $100 each, AC fan $130 from eBay, installed it myself, Akebono brakepads and Meyle rotors for about $200, installed for $125, starter $100 from eBay, OEM sparkplugs and boots $130, installed myself, Fuel vapor canister cracked, repaired for $400 including $85 for new vapor soleniod pump. That fuel vapor canister job was a rip-off. But I drive 20,000 miles/year. These are just regular wear items. I would have to do this on a Toyota too.

[@pavelgabriel9704]

What do you think about 2009 CL550 4Matic? Does worth it?

[@CarlsGarage1]

I just got a 07 S550 with AMG package after getting rid of my 2011 BMW 550i GT. The Mercedes has a more reliable engine and drives less sporty but much comfortable than my bimmer. I got ESP and ABS warning light on and it turns out to be a wheel speed sensor. Also, the 07 model is suffering a valve body issue that could cost you $3k to repair. Hopefully you won't go through it.

[@arjan92]

Loved my W221 2008 S550 lwb, it was black on beige. Bought it with 89,000 kms in January 2016! Drove it everywhere and had never experienced such luxury! Only had a few tiny problems, but the biggest issue was when the front right air strut went out, decided to get both fronts replaced and was fine after that. Sold it 2 months ago with 172,000 kms!!! Absolutely loved it, gonna upgrade to a 2011 S450 with 58,000 kms and drive it till 200,000 kms!

[@bhasins]

I love my 2007 S550 as well but am having issues with my front struts. I have replaced the front right strut when I bought the car 24 months ago and then replaced the front left strut about 10 months back. I bought both brand new cheap on ebay ($125 each). I guess I got what I paid for. As soon as I turn off the engine, the front of the car starts to slowly go down ( I can hear slow clicking sounds). My indy says I need new struts. What do you recommend? The MB originals are over $1200. Do you recommend a good pair of aftermarkets or used?
