@TheLavskithe Bang and Olufsen is a leap above the Harman Kardon unit my E63 has. I do not have any rattles. The speakers were tested in 2020 by Mercedes to which they found a tweeter not having output. It was replaced with records to show that as well.
@aklalaniI received the car with the Michelin's when the rears came to be needing replaced I went with Vredistein's highway tire. I didn't need an ultra high performance tire on a car I am cruising down the highway, I wanted something quite and smooth.
@AHMAD99OAll of the massage function works on every chair ,including the side bolsters, the heating and cooling work on all as well. On a test drive yesterday someone noticed the driver mirror motor is intermittent. It wasn't working at all. Today it moves. I suspect the motor is going out within the mirror housing. All the TV screens work, this car has been optioned with split view, so the front passenger can watch a movie as well as the two in the rear. There are no error codes on the gauge cluster or that show up with a OBD2 scanner as pictured.
@AHMAD99OThe reason is money - there's not enough of it to go around! I have a small collection in which I check fluids and meticulously inspect and have found on my 2010 E63, it is consuming larger amounts of radiator fluid. On those motors the head bolts crack and the heads have to come off. I have gotten a few different numbers but looks to be the total job cost can range from anywhere from 6 to 12 Grand depending on how many "while you're in there" parts you want to add. I had a job where I would have to drive to Tallahassee and used this car with its automatic cruise and Lane keep assist was fantastic but now that I have a job that just involves me going into my own City, I drive my E63 and other cars more often. I will need to sell the s65 for repairs to E63 and most likely use the rest to buy a home.
@Rafaziz717indeed it's been serviced multiple times, the most recent one being at 108,000 miles.
@MercedesDadyou're welcome! Basically right, I don't have the Bluetooth headphones to test that but normal headphones work as each screen has their own ports for a wired connection.
@MercedesDadthere are no headphones. The rear entertainment screens both work and comes with 2 TV remotes that control all 3 screens. Indeed there are the original designo floor mats in rear.
@dbryan75No problem! Funny how close we are to each other. Let me know if you want anymore pictures.
@elstarI did not do most of the work on this car. I looked at the Carfax and didn’t see a recent change of brake fluid so I put it on the schedule to be changed. I am curious as to why it doesn’t show the information on the Carfax on the guest view, I will post what I see on the owner’s page that shows the more recent work, what milage and who did it. I will also talk to MB Market on getting a screenshot up. Unfortunately, I am unable to attach pictures to comments. I have not topped up any of the fluids as nothing has needed replenishing. I do check the fluid levels often, this is how I caught the (probable) head bolt break in my E63 before it becomes major. Owner 4 brought the fridge back from an excursion in Europe. An option not available in the states but was there, it is fully functional. He also got a Kleeman tune of which I was weary of as he didn’t have any real data to show me other than a purchase screenshot. Something that was laid to rest after the car put down over 900-foot pounds of torque on the Dyno sheet. I reached out to the better known Eurocharged company to which they said they wouldn’t be able to touch those numbers with their tune. The exhaust I did, I had a muffler shop take off the bumper mufflers, which are included in the sale if the buyer wants to have them put back on. On a cold start it’s almost as loud as my old 14’ F type R, but that only lasts for about 50 seconds before the revs kick down to under 1k RPM. It won’t wake the neighbors but people in the parking lot will know you just fired up a V12. The headlights and taillights are OEM. No information on clear side markers. Both 4th and 5th owner were in WA, apart of the same car club. Owner 5 title was in his name. Picture of the armrest stowed will also be sent to MB Market as I cannot post them in comments. Thank you for bidding on the car. • All Euro Care Care Date 02/14/2025 Odometer 118,593 mi Services Performed o Fluids checked o Brakes checked o Brake fluid flushed/changed o Brake fluid checked o Radiator checked Add Note • All Euro Car Care Date 02/14/2025 Odometer 118,593 mi Services Performed o Oil and filter changed Add Note • All Euro Car Care Date 12/30/2024 Odometer 113,635 mi Services Performed o Suspension serviced Add Note • Self-Service (DIY) Date 12/01/2024 Odometer 113,000 mi Services Performed o Fluids checked o Oil and filter changed o Tires rotated o Brakes checked Add Note
@elstarThe Carfax shows me as owner 6, I spoke to owner 4 and bought it from owner 5. That's why it shows owner 5 had it for less than a month
@elstarI purchased a 2011 s550 base model. Drove it for a few months before realizing I liked the platform so much I wanted the top dog, but wanted it in the rarest color combo. There are a few white interiors in the country but only one dealer verfied designo mystic Blue. I hired a PI to find the owner and cold called him. Unfortunately he had just sold it the week prior. Negotiations then went on with the new buyer who wanted to make a profit and I wanted the car so we made a deal. I've driven it and definitely put some miles on it and down the maintenance required and even ceramic coated the interior leather because I had fear of jeans on white leather. Thankfully that's not a problem. However now I have the dreadful head bolt crack as I'm having to fill up radiator fluid on a 2010 E63 all too often, as it's just under 100k miles I plan to also change the camshafts as they are a wearable component along with the 'while you're on there' pieces. This head bolt project, along with trying to get money down for a new house is the reason for the sale. It's the one toy I have that will bring in the most money so unfortunately this one has to go.
@Aa87the coils were replaced at 94k and plugs at 99k at a Mercedes Benz dealer in Washington.
@Mbb79184I was in disbelief I would lose my ass this bad as I had bought it admittedly over priced, but after discussions with the rep from MB Market, they have agreed to relist it with a lower reserve.
Thank you all for bidding so far. As the bid comes to a close I will be standing by to answer any last minute questions or thoughts.
@MercedesDadUnderbody photos have been uploaded, waiting on MB Market to post them.
@MercedesDadHello! The date codes are 2020 in the front and 2024 in the rear. I just replaced rears with Vredestein. Soft and comfortable. There is a sunroof up front that works normally, and then a pano roof in rear. It's a large window to the sky that just has a sliding shade to open or close, can be open from any seat in the car. Both portions of glass also have a ceramic tint to dissipate heat. All soft closed doors work including trunk, both close and close and lock buttons on the trunk work. There have been some factory options added such as the fridge, rear tray tables, mirrors. The fridge is a 2 stage system, meaning you have a cold or colder setting but can also be shut off when not in use. It does get pretty damn cold. I have had no transmission issues under my belt, in addition zero messages are in the dash as well as zero internal codes show up when scanning the computer. I will get some underbody shots and upload them.
@lionsfan54 indeed, all seat bladders work, front and rear. Even the massage in the rear is working.
@Dropthehammer I am working with MB Market to get those binder pictures uploaded. As for the cold start, it looks like my original video didn't make it. However, I'll post the links to them down below. https://youtube.com/shorts/82ZFviYjXps?si=RRWIG47Av1OVQ0gQ https://youtube.com/shorts/6Hj71HHQgq0?si=Zh7DjGZDUnyumMWQ
@ProdigalPetrolHeadi am unaware of why there are three latches. I do know I can lock the truck using the red button on the lid.
@lionsfan54I don't have a VMI, but I do have a book of the service records from Mercedes showing the services the Carfax Replicates. I'll get with MB Market to get pictures of that uploaded.
