I am thinking about buying this ride as a DD. I offered 55,000 otd and the dealer said no. They are asking 65,000. It has 57,000 miles. Its in good condition. Give me your opinions on the price.

- Auto Couture Kit?
57,000 miles in about a year and a half - 2 years, someone was flossing hard, and driving this car everywhere. Sorry, but even at $55,000 OTD, I think I would personally pass. I would probably enjoy a stock, low mileage S550 with the AMG package more.

This may be just my opinion, but I think the Mercedes did an excellent job on the styling of the S550 AMG package. I dont think that body kit pictured above can even come close to the stock styling.

I ask advice because why would I want to go down a wrong path. If you dont ask questions about a topic you are unfamiliar with you're pretty much destined to fail. If you think in this world you can completely make it on your own, you are in for a rude awakening.

Here is one with less bling but at your price and also less miles.
