More problems than its worth

I brought this car from Easterns Motors and its been a problem from day one. Suspension problems and more and when i talked to the sales manager they said they would fix it. Less than 8 months i still have the same problem and wouldnt you guess its not covered under the warranty they make you buy. Everyone who was there when I purchased the car is no longer employed. They buy cars from VA so they dont have to be MD inspected. I wont buy another Mercedes-Benz at all. I have had audi and bmw and no major problems

Performance meets Luxury

The 2009 S550 is a phenomenal machine wrapped in silk. It has incredible power on-demand, and the ultimate luxury ride. The interiors are royally appointed with superb wood and leather. The COMAND (computer and brains of the vehicle) is very intuitive and did not require me looking at the 600+ page owners-manual for almost all features/functions - I did however have to look it up to figure out how to open the hood (cleverly hidden) Having owned BMWs for years, and the bad press both the Mercedes E-Class and C-Class cars have got in recent years from JD Powers, the S550 was delightfully over-the-top in the super-luxury category....definitely miles ahead on build quality and performance when compared to BMW 750Li or Audi A8. The S550 is silent as a santuary, amazingly quick and maneuvers easy. The $100K (incl. taxes) price tag for the base model ensures owners the exclusivity.

This car is a beast

This is a car that very few people have. You will stand out and shows you are one of a select few that can have this car
