@seller have you been able to come up with the vmi that you mentioned?
absolutely stunning color combination! i had an s550 in the designo mystic blue and then an s65 with designo red interior. i had always wished that i could find an s65 in the mystic blue with either designo interior i had on my s550 or s65. this particular designo interior is neither of those but still fantastic in its own right! @seller do all of the active and multicontour seat functions work across all 4 corners? that would be the active/dynamic functions of the front seats and the multicontour of the rear. do all 4 seats have the massage feature, and does it work on all 4? i see that the right rear seat pneumatics were replaced but what does that mean? pump, bladder, lines, or something else? any operating issues with the vehicle currently due to the lemon/buyback activity? i see you have put some miles on this one in the past month! did you drive it back from somewhere or just a decent road trip? right rear seat pneumatics
@seller do you know if all recalls for this vehicle have been sorted especially the brake booster recall?
@seller how do the fluids look on the vehicle? i can see no evidence from the carfax of the brake, transmission, coolant, etc., systems ever having been flushed. did the inspection of the vehicle also include all hoses and seals to see if there is any degradation on those due to age or lack of use? does this vehicle have the airmatic suspension? also, could you show a photo of the underside of the front bumper? thank you!
@seller can you upload an updated pic of the drivers seat after it was cleaned up?
@seller sorry if i am being dense, but i'm not following the story with the 2nd owner? that's not you, correct? but they just purchased the car and are flipping it less than a month later?
@seller any back story from the prior owners as to why the extreme lack of use? Looks to be in great shape but the lack of regular use raises some concerns
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"?
@seller those are great features to have working on these cars especially of this age. there's nothing like the feeling of going into a turn with a little speed and having the seats grab you and pull you into the turn. i have a 2005 s55 with the same feature, but those functions are not working on my car, and local MB dealer quoted me about 9k to "fix" both seats which just means swapping out the mechanism and then figuring out whether the bladders are dead
@seller she's a beauty! does this have the dynamic seats where the bolsters inflate in turns, or does this just have lumbar, bolster, etc., adjustments with massage?
@seller beautiful specimen! thank you for posting the work done by stuttgart steel to clarify what all that was. do the multi contour seat functions all work as intended? nothing worse than having an amg that doesn't grab you in the turns because the seat functions no longer work. common problem both with the lines and the bladders and not at all inexpensive to diagnose or resolve. also, there appears to be a wheel in the gallery--are you showing that the wheels were refinished, or is that just an extra wheel? if the wheels were not refinished, can i ask why not? seems like it would have been money well spent on a beauty like this one vs. leaving the (gasp!) curb rash on the wheels?
@REVVINMOTORSso is the ecu tune reversible if it's not wanted or needed?
@revvinmotors is the tune an obd port tune and can it be reversed/uninstalled? do ALL aspects of the multicontour seats work including the dynamic driving mode (catches you in the side on turns) and massage?
these are such great looking cars! i love the R230 so much more than the R231, and i really love these facelift R230s of 2009+. great example here in mars red with the beige interior! i'd be all over this one had i not just purchased a 7k mile 2012 R230 recently. glwta!
wow! that paint looks amazing! and that interior color makes this a rare bird indeed! absolutely loved my e320, and someone will love this one as well (maybe me!). my only issue was traction in wet weather which is why i started buying 4matics.
stunner! great color combination and equipment coupled with relatively low miles!
absolutely stunning color combination on this beautiful beast! mileage is the only thing holding this baby back, but it just means that this has been driven and enjoyed as it should have been.
Also there is text in the description that mentions 15k miles vs the 28k shown on the dash pics The odometer indicates an original 15k miles.
Is there a sticker available? Original msrp a little less than 100k?
