- 2016, LWB W222 AMG Line S-Class S350d - W415 Citan Van too :)
After having my 2010 black, LWB S Class written off after a crash on 4th June (Lady pulled out on me, car is now uneconomical to repair 
), I have bitten the bullet and bought this 2016 beauty...
My 7th S Class and the first without a black interior... let's hope I can keep it clean!
Bought from Mercedes Benz of Guildford, 31000 on the clock, one owner, full MB history... the car was a good price to start with, but managed to haggle a bit, still it came with a years MB warranty, it was Stargarded too which was nice. In the PDI, they found it needed new tyres, disks and pads as well as magic vision wiper blades, so all that was done as part of the deal, and they even refurbed all the alloys too.
As I still have my Audi A8 courtesy car for at least another couple of weeks, I have started adding stuff (as you do!!) Fitted Carplay, brilliant and looks pretty much factory and I have fitted a wireless charging pad in the centre armrest.... I have the fridge to go in as well as the electric retracting towbar (I had the towbar on my 221, handy for popping to the tip or towing the old MK1 Granada around!)
The car already had distronic (an absolute must for me) low-end Burmeister, massage seats, TV and the full exec pack in the rear (Blinds, rear aircon etc) and rear privacy glass
Very happy so far apart from a few little annoying bits... on the W222, they have dispensed with the bag hangers in the boot as well as the umbrella holder, so I have stripped them out of the 221. There is no auto close button on the boot lid and the car only has keyless start and not keyless entry... not a bad thing really I don't suppose, seeing as how they can steal cars using the keyless entry feature these days.... The car also has very light grey seatbelts and came with light grey mats... I've changed the mats for black (£35 for a new set on ebay... bargain!!) and I can see myself putting black belts in it at some point too...
