This S55 is equipped with Active Body Control (ABC) suspension which was serviced in 2020 with a suspension fluid flush and new right rear ABC strut. Four-wheel AMG disc brakes with cross-drilled rotors and silver-painted calipers are equipped at all four corners.
The interior is trimmed in Anthracite leather on the seats, center console, steering wheel, and shift knob with accenting burl walnut wood trim on the dashboard, center console, and doors. Equipment includes heated and cooled dynamic front seats, Bose audio, COMAND with navigation, dual-zone automatic climate control, soft-close doors, a CD changer, and an electric rear roller blind. The seller reports that the CD changer is currently inoperable and the hydraulically assisted trunk closing function is slow to operate.

A walkaround and driving video is viewable below.
The Mercedes-Benz S-Class remains the ultra-luxury car against which other ultra-luxury aspirants are judged and this 2003 S55 AMG is no exception. The look is unmistakably Mercedes, with a dignity of design appropriate for a technological flagship that exudes luxury, refinement, and class. In 2004, this AMG would set you back a healthy $106k and change but certainly was worth every penny. Featuring a hand-built M113 V8, the 2004 S55 now came with a supercharger which greatly increased power to nearly 500 horsepower. Updated styling cues including bi-xenon headlights gave the W220 a proper facelift for the 2003 model year. While these cars have proven to be remarkably reliable over the years, well maintained examples have allowed owners to enjoy premium luxury and power without breaking the bank. Perhaps that’s exactly what makes this specific S55 AMG so attractive. This example has a nice history of ABC servicing and plenty of dealer history visits to allow the next owner to sleep soundly. Now with only 86k miles and a clean history, this S55 is ready to be enjoyed by its next owner who is sure to know this car is something special.

@Rubibound S55 over S600 for me, just my humble opinion but AMG’s seem to hold up better over time$5,000 bid placed by @Rubibound
S55 or S600? S55 OR S600. What's everyone consensus? I can't decide. I guess it comes down to the particular car's ownership and this one appears to be better than most. I'll open the bidding.
