This 2011 Mercedes-Benz S550 was sold new by Mercedes-Benz of Cutler Bay, Florida and remained registered in Florida showing three owners from new through 2025 when it was titled in Montana. Showing only 69k miles from new, it shows healthy dealer services and strong options. Finished in Black (040) over Java Leather (214), power is provided by a 5.5-liter V8 mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels. Equipment includes heated and ventilated multi-contour front seats with memory for both driver and passenger, COMAND with Harman/Kardon sound, a panoramic sunroof, a rear rollerblind, AIRMATIC suspension, and much more. The original MSRP was $107k in 2011 and noted option packages include the Premium II Package, Panorama Roof, and the Sport Plus One Package. The included Carfax report shows 31 service history records, nearly all of which are authorized dealer visits. The most recent service occurred in June of 2026 and included a comprehensive mechanical inspection resulting in a new oil filter housing, new front brake rotors and pads, a lower radiator hose, new oil cooler seals, a new thermostat housing, and new tires. This S550 is now offered for sale by the selling dealer with factory literature, two keys, a Carfax report, and a clean Montana title.
The exterior is finished in Black (040) with chrome trim along the front bumper, side skirts, and rear bumper. Front LED marker lamps are featured along with dual exhaust tips from the rear. The optional Sport Plus One Package includes AMG 5-spoke wheels and an AMG body kit. The "Plus One" name denotes the 20” AMG wheels over the 19” wheels available for the basic Sport Package. Bi-Xenon headlamps are standard for this model along with LED taillamps. The Carfax report does show damage to the right rear reported in 2012 resulting in paintwork to the rear bumper.
Factory 20” AMG five spoke wheels wear Toyo tires up front measuring 255/45 and 275/35 Michelins. The front tires show 2025 date codes while the rears show 2024. The fronts were replaced in June of 2026. Suspension on this model is AIRMATIC and can be adjusted via buttons above COMAND.
The interior is upholstered in Java Leather (214) with matching carpets, matching velour floor mats, and a Java dashboard while Burl Walnut wood trim lines the center console, dashboard and door panels. The wood trim presents well with no fading. Interior equipment includes heated and ventilated multi-contour front seats with memory for both driver and passenger, COMAND with Harman/Kardon sound, a panorama sunroof, and a rear rollerblind.
The leather-wrapped steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer along with a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and gauges for fuel level, economy, coolant temperature and oil pressure. The odometer indicates an original 69k miles.
This S550 is powered by a 5.5-liter V8 engine which was rated for 382 horsepower and 391 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission. The included Carfax report shows 31 service history records, nearly all of which are authorized dealer visits. The most recent service occurred in June of 2026 and included a comprehensive mechanical inspection resulting in a new oil filter housing, new front brake rotors and pads, a lower radiator hose, new oil cooler seals, a new thermostat housing, and new tires.
The Carfax report shows linear mileage updates from new and three registered owners. This S550 is now offered for sale by the selling dealer with factory literature, two keys, a Carfax report, and a clean Montana title.
The W221 S-Class has settled into a particularly appealing place in the modern Mercedes-Benz market; new enough to feel genuinely luxurious, but old enough to remind us of the traditional MB flagship formula. This 2011 S550, finished in black over Java leather, has the kind of formal and understated presence that suits the long, confident shape of the W221 especially well. The spec helps separate it from an ordinary S-Class. The Sport Plus One and Premium 2 packages give the car a sharper appearance and a more complete luxury experience, while the naturally aspirated V8 delivers the smooth, effortless power that made these late W221 cars so satisfying to drive. Showing 68k miles, this S550 lands in a nice middle ground. Preserved enough to feel special, but usable enough to enjoy as Mercedes intended. For buyers looking for a handsome modern flagship with strong colors, desirable equipment, and traditional V8 S-Class character, this example checks a lot of the right boxes.

Hey Everyone! Thanks for checking out our 2011 S550, with the final year of the M273 and some cool options including the Sport plus One package! We have a lot of videos and pictures posted but feel free to ask for more on any part of it, and send a message if you would like shipping quotes! Happy Bidding!@gscharnagl I used to own a very similar car to this...Actually listed it here back in 2021. You'd be surprised Black over Java wasn't terribly common then. I just did a quick search online and about 5 out of 100+ facelift 221's listed are this combo. None of which show the Plus One pack, etc. Perhaps "rare spec" is the focus. Either way, this combo is harder to replicate. @alexwahl6 beautiful spec!love these cars, and i miss the 3 w221s that i've had! forgive my ignorance, but what makes basic black (040) and tan (214) a "rare color combination"?
