This 2012 Mercedes-Benz S550 was sold new by Mercedes-Benz of Palm Beach, Florida and has remained in Florida since new. The car has always been dealer serviced with only 33k original miles and a clean history.

Equipment includes heated and ventilated multi-contour front seats with memory for both driver and passenger, COMAND with Harman/Kardon sound, a power sunroof, a rear rollerblind, rear side shades, AIRMATIC suspension, and much more. The original MSRP was nearly $110k in 2012 and noted option packages include the Premium II Package, Driver Assistance Package, and the Sport Plus One Package. The included Carfax report shows 24 service history records nearly all of which are authorized dealer visits. The most recent service in January 2026 included an oil change, brake fluid flush, and differential fluid flush. This low mileage S550 is now offered for sale by the selling dealer with factory literature, two keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean Florida title.

Front LED marker lamps are featured along with dual exhaust tipis 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.

In January 2026 the brake fluid and rear differential fluid were flushed.
The interior is upholstered in Black Leather (211) with matching carpets, matching velour floor mats, and a black 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 power sunroof, and a rear rollerblind with rear side shades.
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 33k miles.
This S550 is powered by a 4.6-liter biturbo V8 engine which was rated for 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission. The included Carfax report shows 24 service history records, most of which were logged by the original selling dealer, Mercedes-Benz of Palm Beach. Mercedes-Benz of Naples oversaw service from 2018 through present day. A service in December 2023 included a transmission fluid flush, new thermostat, new engine timing/front cover, alignment, and oil service when the car had 28k miles.

Incredible condition and spec! I can't believe anyone would go spend $100k for a new s class today when you could get this! The 221 design is far superior.$23,700 bid placed by @Jme2711

@Mika Thank you Mika. As @ProdigalPetrolHead mentioned, the factory wood/leather steering wheel was optional on facelift cars under Code 289 (Leather Steering Wheel with Trim Insert), and this car is so equipped. It pairs beautifully with the interior. This example has been Florida-owned, carefully maintained with documented service history, and kept indoors, which reflects in the undercarriage condition. I appreciate the kind words.$20,000 bid placed by @GoRexGo
@Mika Facelift cars got them. VERY Similar to my S550 I sold several years ago. I can't emphasize enough how great that car was. https://thembmarket.com/2012-mercedes-benz-s550-4maticNever seen a steering wheel like that. Were the wood spokes optional? Spotless undercarriage, where did you find this beauty?Additional photos have been added to the gallery.Good afternoon everyone, As we head into the final 24 hours, I wanted to share a few additional details that some bidders have inquired about via direct message: • The car comes with both original keys • All owner’s manuals and literature are included I will be uploading clear photos of the keys, manuals, and a close-up of the new engine cover shortly so everything is documented publicly. Thank you again for your bids, questions and thoughtful comments. I’m here for anything else as we head into the final hours.$19,750 bid placed by @Jme2711
I'm asking myself, would I rather have this beauty or a new Honda Civic for about the same price as where this battle may end? I think we all know the answer! Good luck with this auction while I try explaining to my lovely wife why I need a fifth vehicle! :-)$19,500 bid placed by @Lookn007

@MedhatElsergany Great question , the new OEM engine cover is still in the box. The current cover presents very well, aside from the missing emblem, so we ordered a new one from Mercedes and chose to keep it as such for the next owner. Some customers like to receive brand new OEM parts with their original packaging. We’re happy to install it prior to delivery (at no cost of course as it takes seconds) at the new owner's request. I’ll be uploading photos of the new cover this morning for transparency.Did your staff installed this? A new OEM engine cover, still in the box, will be included with the sale. Installation can be handled by my staff at the new owner’s preference$6,040 bid placed by @FrankVelaa
@Jme2711 Hello . Yes, lumbar supports work. This car is also equipped with massaging and Active seating; I tested both and they work.Hi Is lumbar pump and bladder working on driver seat ?@mfollis This car is not equipped with the ECO start/stop feature, which many owners prefer for drivability and long-term simplicity.@mfollis Yes, the rear headrests do recline.Good afternoon, and thank you for viewing my 2012 Mercedes-Benz S550. This car comes from a curated collection and has been owned and maintained with intention, serviced since new by local Mercedes-Benz dealerships. It is being offered honestly and without shortcuts. What you see is what you get: A proper S-Class, presented as such. I’ll remain available throughout the auction to answer questions and provide clarification as needed. For full transparency: The Mercedes star emblem on the engine cover is missing. A new OEM engine cover, still in the box, will be included with the sale. Installation can be handled by my staff at the new owner’s preference. Additional photos and video will be added as the auction progresses. Thank you for participating on MB Market. — Mario@mfollis If you’re referring to the ECO mode my 2012 S63 has it. I personally hate it and disable it upon startup. To each his own! This one looks phenomenal!$5,790 bid placed by @Lfuselier
Also does it have "Start/Stop" feature?Do the rear headrests recline?$5,500 bid placed by @Downsethut
