I’ve got a 2008 with 200k miles … it’s hard to let this one pass me by. Great machine as a daily driver. They love to be driven.

Hi quick question 773-972-0505 thx Carey
@MK395 Appreciate the kind words! I'm trying to do this as more than just a passion/hobby, so if anyone does need auction photography in the Southeast, feel free to reach out to me. I've driven post and pre facelift cars and I have to admit I'm just that much more of a fan of the M273 cars. I'm a firm believer an S-Class deserves naturally aspirated power over turbos just because of the refinement factor. I know a lot of enthusiasts will probably disagree with me and I totally understand the love for turbos (who doesn't like kidney flattening torque and tunability?) but I'm just a curmudgeon who likes a quad cam Mercedes V8s without forced induction, plus the engineering is better than a turbo W221 -- plain and simple. Also I just like the painted panels going through the brake lights on a pre-facelift car. I think they're just neat.
The photography is exceptional. Very desirable color. Prefacelift NA v8 models are a joy to drive.

As we come into the final day of the auction, I’ll be on standby for any last minute questions. This is kind of the spec for a W221. Green on tan is in vogue right now and is a timeless color combination, rare to see on an S-Class. The M273 is a much more reliable engine over the M278 the W221 got during its facelift since they don’t have the oil starvation issues on cold start, turbo issues, coolant pipe issues, and cylinder bore scoring issues. The S-Class deserves a NA V8 for its smooth and linear power delivery and this 5.5 liter quad cam engine makes more power than the AMG M113. It’s a perfect match. The service records are also a huge plus! The recent $11k service at DC MotorWerks, Atlanta’s best AMG/Mercedes specialty shop, absolutely went through the thing to get it worthy for the next owner. It’s just a super nice W221 and I’m excited for the next owner to win it. These are fantastic cars and this is a spectacular example that’s ready to just be driven.

@Schoonermon Really good catch, total oversight on the copy. I’ve alerted The MB Market team to edit the description. Blind spot assist was option 234 or 237 which this car does not have. I appreciate the comment.
Does the car have blind spot assist? It is mentioned in description but would like to confirm. Thanks
@henryfpotter It got lost in the uploads, I've sent the PDF to The MB Market team to upload it now. PM me if you want and I can send it directly to you if you need it immediately! Second page breakdown for the other bidders who want to see it now goes as such: Remove seat back and replace lumbar bladder and control unit R/R engine mounts, trans mounts R/R right and left front CV axles R/R rear flex disk, propeller shaft joint and adjust Rear bumper repair Pg 2 invoice will be uploaded shortly!
Apologies if I missed it, but the second page of the DC Motorwerks invoice (the recent $11k service) appears to be missing from the photos. Thank you!

@Armenian I've emailed The MB Market to upload all the service invoices to the gallery. They'll be up tonight. Oil changes were indeed plentiful in the stack of records. Keep an eye on the listing and I'm sure The MB Market team will drop a comment when they're up. EDIT: Sorry for the delay, all the invoice files got corrupt. I've since converted the files and resent them to The MB Market team -- they'll be uploaded ASAP. Thanks!

My only concern is that the CarFax lists last oil change and filter was performed at 58K milies in Ga. in February of 2019. Are there any service records showing subsequent oil/filter service performed to the CarFax documentation? The VMI only goes to 2017, probably requested by owner selling at that time.
The term Designo has been removed from the description for this car.

so which part is designated Designo ?

Welcome everyone to the auction of this wonderful 2009 Mercedes-Benz S550 4MATIC in one of the prettier color combos I've seen on a W221. The MB Market should be uploading the stack of service records here in the next day, but the car was babied both cosmetically and mechanically with an open wallet. Our local specialist AMG/Mercedes-Benz independent shop here in the Atlanta area (DC MotorWerks) went through the car just prior to the auction to get it truly dialed in and ready for the next owner with a hefty $11,000 bill that will be uploaded soon. I'm an open line of communication via PM, email or phone if need be. Thanks!
