This 2014 Mercedes-Benz S550 4Matic was originally sold by Mercedes-Benz of Arlington, Virginia where the car remained until relocating to Rhode Island in July 2022 when the current owner moved. Finished in Manufaktur Diamond White Metallic (799) over a Beige Leather (515) interior, power is provided by a twin-turbo 4.7L V8 engine paired with an automatic 7-speed transmission and all-wheel drive. Additional features include Night View Assist PLUS, COMAND with navigation, a Burmester premium surround sound system, Keyless-Go with hands-free access, PARKTRONIC with Active Parking Assist, power rear-side window sunblinds, Driver Assistance Package, Warmth & Comfort Package, Air Balance Package, and optional Comfort box. The car remains under an extended exclusionary warranty for another 3 years or 25k miles. This S550 shows just under 44k miles on the odometer and is now offered by the seller with a window sticker showing a $117k MSRP, factory literature, a clean Carfax report, 2 factory keys, and a clean Rhode Island title.
The body is finished in Manufaktur Diamond White Metallic (799) and features a chrome grill and chrome trim around the windows and along the lower body line. Additional equipment includes a Panoramic glass sunroof, dynamic LED headlights, power-folding side mirrors, Distronic PLUS cruise control and dual exhaust outlets. The seller reports two small scrapes less than an inch on the front bumper and a minor scrape on the underside the front bumper. Pictures are provided in detail in the gallery.
The optional 19” twin 5 spoke wheels are wrapped in 245/45 front and 275/40 rear Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season 4 tires. The car is factory equipped with AIRMATIC suspension and Adaptive Damping System (ADS).
The multifunction wood steering wheel features shift paddles and leather. The digital instrument panel displays an analog-style 160-mph speedometer and tachometer with various driver selected screens and settings. The digital odometer shows just under 44k miles, approximately 23k of which have been added by the seller.
The twin-turbocharged 4.7-liter M278 V8 was factory rated at 449 horsepower and 516 lb-ft of torque, which is delivered to all four wheels via a seven-speed automatic transmission with paddle shifters and 4Matic. The seller reports an inspection and "A" Service was completed at the dealer in July 2022. The car comes with a fully transferrable extended warranty which does exclude some items and remains in effect for another 3 years or 25k miles. An image of the warranty terms can be seen in the gallery.
For more than half a century the Mercedes-Benz S-Class has been the pinnacle of luxury, safety, status, and ingenuity as the benchmark by which every other manufacturer measures their flagship sedans. Every iteration of the S-Class receives notable improvements over the prior generations and even as the new models are released, these W222 chassis cars make it seem as though perfection has already been achieved. Facts aside, this specific S550 has been well serviced and well-loved, and comes with a very impressive options list. Examples like this are an enormous value buy in today's market. The original window sticker shows a $117k MSRP and with only 44k miles and a healthy documented service history, this S550 is just getting warmed up. On top of that, the extended warranty and the gorgeous color combination of this S-class makes this a step above the rest.

Hello everyone, a couple more questions were asked to me through messages. Below are the answers which I thought may help others who are interested. Picture 91 shows the night vision. That is a feature that is automated while driving at night. If there is someone or something on the side of the road, that screen will appear in the cluster and have a red box around the object. The car also flashes the object with the headlight. It’s really amazing how they do it because it the headlight turns into a spotlight and only flashes that particular object. Truly amazing I couldn’t believe it the first time I saw it happen, which is a feature that happens automatically. Slide 117 is a page out of the warranty contract. I included that to show everyone how minimal the exclusions are. I shopped like crazy to find that warranty. Most contracts I read had 8-10 times the amount of verbiage in the exclusions section. Also, that particular section shows that the air ride system IS covered in the warranty. That is very rare when it comes to aftermarket warranties. I’ve never had an issue with the air ride, but if it did come up this warranty would cover it.$15,000 bid placed by @Billcourcy
@mhs244 When I bought the car from Koons Toyota in Tyson’s Corner, two of the tires were older than the other two. I forget the date code, but they were clearly not replaced when the other two were. So I had the dealer replace the two old tires. Those were the OEM Pirelli runflats. After owning the car for a few months, GT Peace recommended, and I researched that everyone in the forums said that non runflat tires would improve the ride quality. I decided to switch out the runflats for the current Michelin Pilot Sport 4s’s that are on the car. Those are the only two sets of tires that have been on the car during my ownership. There has never been an issue with the car wearing tires outLooking over the carfax, there are multiple entries where 2 tires were mounted and multiple occurance of alignment. Is there something perpetually wrong with alignments that it keeps wearing the tires off every 10 plus thousand miles and you have put up new tires?$10,500 bid placed by @MarcS550

@MBLOYALTY yes it is transferable@MBLOYALTY Yeah, its a transferrable warranty. It explicitly says so in the listing description: "The car comes with a fully transferrable extended warranty which does exclude some items and remains in effect for another 3 years or 25k miles. An image of the warranty terms can be seen in the gallery". Looks like a super nice car with good presentation by the seller. GLWAIs the warranty transferable?Sweet whip!One of the few modern Mercs I can always get behind. (Daily driver is a 222), these are everything they should be as an S-Class and killer value right now.Hello everyone, thank you for viewing the auction. It has been a dream come true to drive this S550 for the past year. I recently moved to Rhode Island from the DC area and am selling to buy something more rugged. I included one of the pages from the warranty contract in the photos. I do have the full contract if you’d like to view it I could send it separately. It is an exclusionary warranty which is desired when it comes to a vehicle with so many components. This particular warranty does not exclude the Airmatic suspension! If I can provide any more information please don’t hesitate to ask. Best of luck to all the bidders.
