The Appeal
The W221-generation Mercedes-Benz S-Class was built to represent the pinnacle of Stuttgart's engineering prowess when it launched, bristling with technology that would take years to filter down to lesser models. The S550, powered by its silky 5.5-litre V8, offered a compelling blend of effortless performance and limousine refinement, and remains a thoroughly capable machine to this day.
This 2011 example in Iridium Silver Metallic over Black/Anthracite leather is comprehensively specified, evidenced by its $93,875 retail price. The accompanying Carfax report, with its 50 service records, provides a thorough account of the car's life, and prospective buyers can take further confidence from the recent mechanical work carried out in 2024. Imported from the United States with EU customs duties and VAT paid, this S550 is ready for its next custodian.S550 (7).jpg1.86 MB
