Dollar for dollar this is the best car that money can buy. A 3 year old MB Certified car with around 30,000 miles is the way to go. The price will be about 50% of original MSRP so you save about $50,000. I suggest 4 MATIC and AMG trim package. I 've owned other MB's, high end Jaguars, BMW's, Volvo's, VW's and several American cars, new and used. This is the best.

Excellent car. I am driving S550 2015 for 6 years with no any mechanical problems, this car is soft driving and luxury finish and look.

I have owned nothing but Mercedes Benz since 1987. Every one of them (except my current Mercedes S550) lasted a long time and I had few problems with them. I recommended Mercedes to my family and friends. My current Mercedes Benz is a 2015 S550 and it has been quickly falling apart since Year 4 (2019). First it was minor things like the Seat and Door Upholstery wearing out (How does the Stitching on a Door come unraveled?). Then it became huge Engine, Suspension and Transmission problems costing tens of thousands of dollars. When I purchased the car I spent an additional $4,500.00 for a 7-year/75,000 mile Warranty. Because I had 75,000 miles in year 5 the $4,500.00 I spent was wasted. My first bad experience with Mercedes Benz was when I reported the Worn-out Seat and Door Stitching. This type of issue is something that takes place over time. Mercedes refused to repair the Worn-out Seat Area and Door Stitching because the 5-year Warranty ran out 2 months earlier. That was the beginning of a litany of problems with the rest of the car. My dealership has been fantastic and asked the Warranty Representative from Mercedes Benz to cover everything because a car like this should not be falling apart in 4 years. Unfortunately Mercedes Benz refused to take any responsibility for this Lemon! I will never recommend Mercedes Benz again. I have been a loyal customer for over 30 years and that loyalty has not been returned. Mercedes does not build cars as good as they used to - sad, but true.
