Thinking of buying a S500,anything to look out for?

[Big Cheese]

I'm thinking of buying a 2015 S500.
Is there anything that I should be wary of or should especially look at?
Any guidance will be appreciated.

Be aware that the continuous smiling after you get one can annoy others

Put £500-1k/mth away in repair costs…

… your passengers will thank you immensely. You probably won’t like any other Merc for comfort.

Purchased a stunning black S500 amg line.
Quite a different beast to the S63 I was thinking of buying & drive wise better than the 63 I already own.

It’s not paranoia where Sonderklasse are involved!

 

[mioba]

Sonder Kasse then

So far I'm mightily impressed with the S500.
Not much difference power wise with the 63 I already own but comfort wise it's second to none.
You're right about the smile factor S500 Pete,and plenty of envious glances aswell always makes you feel like you've made the right purchase.

now that looks real nice , are the tints mirror finish or is it just the camera angle

 

[Big Cheese]

I think its a combination of the rear blinds and the camera angle bembo,

right oh , a fine looking car pal

 

[SL63 Mark]

Lovely looking car,

That's an "interesting" juxtaposition of car and location you've got going on there...
