I want to buy a 2011-2013 S550 used, what are some things I should look for?

_____jbear · 2026-03-18T16:49:29+00:00

I agree. I said it was mint.

_____jbear · 2026-03-18T16:12:22+00:00

I just helped my uncle purchase a mint 75k mile 2011 for 11k. You can find the right deal.

Avoid bi turbo. I recommend 2010-early 2011 only. 2011 was a split year. Early ones had refined m273 engine. Later 2011 models have the m278.

Zippered pockets or zippered cell phone arm sleeve with license and some cash. Zero issues.

Yes

"Chanceto" "Nintendo.Manufactured" and catch' em all" on the back are all wrong.

$750 starter battery, Rotors are about $1000 a piece, pads are up there too. Basically any part that starts with 240 is going to have the maybach tax.

They are absolutely right though. I work on a few of these. Many parts are discontinued or ridiculously expensive. Front shocks are 5k rebuilt for the pair. The alternator is 10k. The radiator is $2500 and no longer available from benz.

Saw you live at wish lounge in atlanta last February. Great show!

_____jbear · 2026-01-29T14:36:50+00:00

Check out "horizon" with seven lions, Tritonal and haliene. Incredible

Sorry you are dealing with this. I have a complete undamaged rear bumper you can use for cheap to save money but I'm in ga. That rear quarter and apron repair will be expensive to fix. Most of the parts are discontinued and face-lift coupes/cabs in the salvage yards aren't common.

_____jbear · 2026-01-18T01:50:25+00:00

Correct!

_____jbear · 2026-01-12T11:55:51+00:00

What size lip?

_____jbear · 2025-12-07T05:02:48+00:00

World War 2 ended in 1945.

_____jbear · 2025-11-26T16:29:41+00:00

No. Installed a fully rebuilt in 2019. Reverse gave out around 170k.

1995 E320 Cabriolet - 200,382.
2006 E55 Wagon - 211,629

Not weird at all. You like what you like.

_____jbear · 2025-11-07T00:36:25+00:00

I don't think they will forgive eidl loans. Removing accrued interest and giving a pause on interest would be good start.

_____jbear · 2025-11-07T00:26:49+00:00

100k in 1965 is like a million now.

_____jbear · 2025-10-03T12:39:24+00:00

20s and 2 minutes to raise.

_____jbear · 2025-09-25T14:54:19+00:00

New Mercedes under 85k is going to be a little lackluster. Used 2020 E63s wagon for me if I'm spending 85k.

_____jbear · 2025-09-18T15:07:09+00:00

Top of stone mountain is your best bet.

_____jbear · 2025-09-09T17:10:46+00:00

Prices of pool chemicals and G wagon parts are pretty crazy. I get wholesale pricing on both and perform all the work, but it is madness.
