This 2012 Mercedes-Benz S550 4Matic was sold new through Feldmann Imports of Minneapolis, Minnesota where it was serviced with its original owner until February 2015. Finished in Palladium Silver Metallic (792) over Black/Anthracite Leather (211), this S-Class is powered by a 4.6-liter biturbo V8 paired to a seven-speed automatic transmission. Over the past year, the car has received a notable amount of preventative maintenance at Blue Ridge MB outside Atlanta, GA including new motor and transmission mounts, front lower control arms, an air suspension refresh, and much more. The odometer currently shows 89,487 miles, approximately 7k of which have been added by the seller. Features include a Sport Plus One Package, Panoramic Roof, Driver Assistance, Distronic Plus, Bi-Xenon headlamps, Keyless-Go, Dynamic heated and ventilated front seats, and a heated steering wheel. The car is now being offered by the seller with a clean Carfax report showing regular dealer service intervals, the factory toolkit, manufacturer’s literature, two keys, and a clean Georgia title.
The exterior is finished in Palladium Silver Metallic (792) with all original panels and paintwork. The AMG Sport Plus One Package adds sculpted front and rear bumpers, side skirts, twin exhaust outlets, and 20” AMG 5-spoke wheels. The seller notes small rock chips from highway use along the nose of the car along with an imperfection in the lower mesh grille due to a rock/road debris. Features include Bi-Xenon headlamps, LED running lights, electric folding mirrors, a panoramic sliding sunroof, and front and rear parking sensors with a backup camera.
20” AMG five-spoke wheels are fitted as part of the Sport Plus One Package and wear Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3+ tires measuring 225/40 on all four corners. The wheels are factory equipped and were refinished in January 2021 due to light curb rash. New tires were mounted at the time the wheels were refinished.
On the interior, the seats, door cards, center console, and dashboard are upholstered in Black Leather (211) with an Anthracite upper dash and grey headliner. Burled Walnut veneer accents the dashboard, doors, center console, and leather-wrapped heated steering wheel and presents with no cracks or fading. Interior features include Dynamic heated and ventilated front seats with massage function, Active lane Keeping Assist, Active Blind Spot Assist, Adjustable ambient lighting, power sunshades for the rear side windows and rear window, and Distronic Plus.
The leather and walnut adorned steering wheel frames a 160-mph digital speedometer, 7k-rpm tachometer, and a digital odometer with trip function showing 89,487 miles. Additional readouts include fuel level and coolant temperature, along with a digital readouts for various assistance programs, outside temperature reading, and infotainment menus.
The 4.6-liter biturbo M278 V8 was rated at 429 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque when new. Power is sent to all four wheels through a 7G-Tronic seven-speed automatic transmission.

@Armenian Just checked- the piece used is a Fuyao Sunless Laminated unit. (DOT459M848AS1)
@ProdigalPetrolHead Thanks for the reply. since the windscreen was replaced can you advise if it was an aftermarket windscreen or original Mercedes Benz part? As you can see I have great interest in this vehicle and need to properly evaluate it. Thanks
@Armenian It was replaced in 2020 before I owned the car.
@ProdigalPetrolHead Has the windscreen been replaced? I didn't see a "Daimler Benz" sticker on the windshield. Thanks
@Armenian The Carfax certainly shows the mileage and time correctly for all owners including myself. It looks like their estimated time of ownership is off although the records line up correctly showing 2015 to 2021 under the second owner. I'm sure an email to Carfax could have that amended, which I've sent out this evening. @Tdgust45 the only thing strange is the Carfax typo, which I was unaware of. Mileage on the Carfax report is tracked consistently, that being said. Also, the car never had any OBD issues. With @Blueridgemb being intimately familiar with the car, it's certainly a real listing and can be bid on with confidence.
Something is strange about the records on this vehicle. It has been registered in several more States than listed. The miles don’t add up either. Is this a scam?
MB of Blue Ridge, Tell me about the refresh of the air ride, the panoramic roof repairs, OBD issues, suspension and brakes. Pads, rotors?

Hello, after looking at the CarFax I noticed the mileage listed under the 2nd owner don't add up to the years of ownership. Owner 2 had it for 1yr/8mo with 15k miles/yr??? What's the deal?
The sport kit makes such a huge improvement visually to the 221. Fantastic looking machine, GLWA!

I drove this exact car, in the day, and it may end up being better value than the green 4 magic wagon on here that I really want...
