This 2010 Mercedes-Benz S550 received its pre-delivery inspection at Mercedes-Benz of El Dorado Hills in April 2010 and has remained registered in California since new. Finished in Iridium Silver Metallic (775) over Gray Leather (218), power is provided by a naturally aspirated 5.5-liter V8 paired with a seven-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes the AMG Sport Package, 19-inch AMG wheels, heated and ventilated dynamic front seats, Night View Assist, a rearview camera, COMAND navigation, a power sunroof, and KEYLESS-GO. The selling dealer acquired the car approximately two weeks ago and has added 415 of the 85,091 miles shown. The dealer reports recent oil and brake-pad service under prior ownership, along with suspension work in 2022. This S550 is now offered in Dublin, California with two keys, manufacturer’s literature, OEM all-weather floor mats, the photographed service documents, a clean Carfax report, and a clean California title.
The exterior is finished in Iridium Silver Metallic (775) and features AMG Sport Package bumper covers and side skirts. Additional equipment includes bi-xenon headlamps with washers and active curve illumination, LED daytime running lights, a power-operated glass sunroof, parking sensors, and a power trunk lid. The dealer reports a touched-up scratch on the passenger-side front bumper and a small dent with touched-up scratches on the lower right rear quarter panel ahead of the wheel opening. Both areas reportedly received factory-matched paint and clear coat. The car is reported to remain stock, and no rust is reported by the dealer.
The 19-inch AMG five-spoke alloy wheels wear Bridgestone front tires measuring 255/40 and Continental rear tires measuring 275/40. Scratches and finish wear are visible on the wheels. The car is equipped with AIRMATIC air suspension and four-wheel disc brakes with perforated front rotors. The dealer reports suspension work was performed in 2022, with front shocks showing replacement at 80k miles in April of 2026. Brake pads were reportedly replaced recently under prior ownership, and the Carfax records tire replacement in June 2026.
The cabin is upholstered in Gray Leather (218) with matching door panels and carpeting, complemented by a contrasting upper dashboard. Burl walnut veneer accents the dashboard, center console, door panels, and steering wheel. Equipment includes heated and ventilated power-adjustable front seats with memory and dynamic multicontour functions, automatic climate control, COMAND navigation, a Harman Kardon sound system, a DVD changer, and ambient lighting. Additional amenities include power rear side window and rear window rollerblinds, soft-close doors, KEYLESS-GO, and a rearview camera. OEM all-weather floor mats are included, and wear on the upholstery and interior touchpoints is shown in the gallery.
The wood- and leather-trimmed multifunction steering wheel is mounted on a power-adjustable column and fronts a central digital speedometer, an analog tachometer, and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. Night View Assist can display its forward view within the instrument cluster. The digital odometer shows 85,091 miles, approximately 415 of which have been added by the selling dealer.
The naturally aspirated 5.5-liter M273 V8 was factory rated at 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a seven-speed automatic transmission. Based on information from the previous owner, the dealer reports a recent oil change in May of 2026 and brake-pad replacement. The Carfax documents front and rear brake-pad replacement in October 2019, a battery replacement in October 2021, a starter replacement in September 2023, and an oil and filter change in March 2024. A photographed September 2024 Mercedes-Benz of Long Beach invoice documents KEYLESS-GO diagnosis and replacement of a key and start button. A July 2025 payment receipt is also included, although the work performed is not itemized. Additional service history is recorded on the Carfax, and underside photographs are provided in the gallery.
The Carfax report shows no accidents or damage, five owners, and 30 service-history records. An Autocheck report supplied by the seller notes 3 owners from new indicating one of two owner entires on the Carfax could be lien payoffs or superfluous. California registration history is shown from new, with the latest reported mileage of 82,390 recorded in June 2026. This S550 is offered by the selling dealer with two keys, manufacturer’s literature, OEM all-weather floor mats, the photographed service documents, and a clean California title.
The seller has included the following videos:
There’s a lot to like about a facelift W221 especially with some notable options... The updated lighting, AMG-sculpted bumpers, and five-spoke AMG wheels give the S550 a modern look while retaining the presence expected from an S-Class. Iridium Silver makes those details easy to appreciate, and the Gray Leather cabin with burl walnut trim keeps the specification comfortably traditional. The appeal extends well beyond appearances. A naturally aspirated V8, AIRMATIC suspension, and a generous cabin make a compelling combination for covering miles, while this example adds dynamic front seats, Night View Assist, Parktronic, and more interestinf features. These are the details that made the S-Class feel special when new and remain useful today. With California history from new, 30 Carfax service entries, and its factory configuration intact, this example offers plenty for someone who intends to put a flagship Mercedes back to its intended use.

@robplus1 Hello, thanks for your questions. 1. No I have not because the most recent oil change and service was done not even 5000 miles ago. I did do a visual inspection and saw no leaks or issues that could lead to a problem. The 450 miles I’ve put on the car would attest to that as no issues rose during or after. Also the codes were last checked before my 450 miles I’ve put on the car (unfortunately I do not have a scanner powerful enough to tell you when they were last cleared) but if you were to bring an Autel it would tell you they were cleared more than 450 miles ago. If any new lights or issues were to arise they would’ve come up in the 450 miles I’ve put on the car. 2. Yes happy to send a closeup, here is a link to a folder with a few more photos: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1KY-RcwRZCllDny_zKq4nZf_mQZDiYt3e. As you can see the actual bolster does not have a hole it does have a few hairline cracks and is slightly dirty from usual use. A lot of it can be removed with some good leather detailing and for the cracks someone who’s good with leather repair can use leather filler and color matched dye to repair for roughly $300. That’s the number I got from a local guy near me. The seats function completely fine though, 0 issues with them and I would not suggest spending $1400 on replacing it because there is no holes or anything like that. As for the wood trim, there are no hairline cracks anywhere as far as I can tell. 3. As you can see in the photos above the dent does not extend to the door. The actual door itself only had a scratch which was touched up.Three questions, 1. have you done any service or maintenance or other inspections since you have owned it? (you can just clear the OBD scanner, and then re-run it and no codes will be shown) 2. Can you take a closeup of the wear on the drives seat pad to see if the leather has a hole. I know it is quite involved to replace the pad since it has the ht/cooling element. GAHH gave me quote on Friday and it was $1,472. for just the pad and cover. Any hairline cracks in the wood section of the steering wheel? 3. Is the dent (paint damage) on the passenger lower quarter extend to the rear door as well? thank youHello all, As we near the final days of the auction I wanted to just reiterate that I am happy to answer any questions as well as add any other pictures that might be helpful. Please reach out to me if there is anything I can help with. Thanks!Hello all, Wishing everyone an early Happy Halloween! I noticed I forgot to include a photo of the OBD readings of the car so just to ensure there's no tricks and that this car is only a treat I've put a link to a picture of the OBD reading of the car below😃!

Hello all! Just one week left for the auction of this super clean and beautiful Mercedes Benz S550. This car is an absolute pleasure to drive and the new owner will definitely fall in love with it. With that being said, if any more information is needed please feel free to ask!$500 bid placed by @BlueridgeMB
@Kfossum No vibration at all from the driveline when driving, the car is very smooth overall as experienced during the nearly 415 miles I've put on the car. No creaking noises from the front suspension. The maintenance logbook in the glovebox shows the front air shocks were replaced about 6000 miles ago (in 2022) so the suspension is like new. All audio, video, radio, DVD/CD components work. Zero issues with the iPod interface and aux inputs.Is there any vibration from the driveline when driving? Is there any creaking noises from the front suspension? Do all the audio video components work, I.E tuner, DVD/CD player, iPod interface and aux input?Hello all! Welcome to the auction of the beautiful 2010 Mercedes Benz S550 with only 85k miles and all the bells and whistles. This car has been an absolute pleasure to drive and just last week I drove this car from Santa Barbara, CA all the way to Dublin, CA (a nearly 350 mile drive). The car handled amazing during this drive and all the active bolstering and massaging seats functions worked phenomenally. As mentioned in the listing above there is a difference between the number of owners on the Carfax and Autocheck which could just be a difference between where each is pulling data from. The Autocheck link is below for those who would like to see it. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qXkTDXP4UgPmWjbJHoXKKTqbVGPSo1UW/view?usp=drivesdk If there are any questions regarding the car please feel free to ask and I’ll be happy to help!
