Just got back from the dealer with an 08 S550 P2 package. My friend which is a really good broker at Redline Auto leasing got me the car for 86 thousand. I think it is right at invoice if not lower..

The car is amazing. It isn't mine since I still have my 07 NBP TL-s but my dad and wow the car is silent but powerful.... Weighs 4200 but gets high 13's on a quarter mile. I think the E 550 with same engine but 100 pounds lighter got 13.5 so this can get something around there.

Silver with Black interior. Next stop Rims and Tints.. Pics will be up soon

 

Pics FIRST, thread SECOND.

 

^^ what he said...and you're 17 with an S550?

 

^ He saids its his dads...

He drives a TL Type S

 

reading comprehension owns me

 

ya lol you swear I drive a 90 thousand dollar car. But Im quite pleased with the deal we got. The car is at I think 94 MSRP.. and we got it for 86K. Premium 2 plus + camera in the back (the camera comes with premium 3... I know 90+ k car and it doesn't come standard with a camera.)

I need some ideas for rims guys if you can gimme any. My dad took the car so when he comes home ill take pics.. Also tint ideas..

Im thinking limo back but I dunno what to do in the front.. Don't really want the car to become a ticket magnet but we do want some tints on the front.. So limo back 35 front??

 

Factory Sport Rims > most ghetto shit out there...



20% or 35% tint all around. Different tint in front and back is and limo is too damn dark, not to mention a cop magnet.

And for the love of Christ, it's "tint", not "tints"

 

limo in the back is legal..

 

Bless you.

 

love the new S great choice!

 

I realize that it's legal in the rear windows, but I'm partial to a uniform look of the same % all around the car and it's my opinion that limo tint is too dark for the front windows for multiple reasons.

However, if a uniform look isn't what you're after and you feel that 20% isn't dark enough for the back, then a limo/35% would fit your needs...I'm just suggesting the same % all around for a cleaner look.

 

Glad to see the home equity bandwagon is still rolllin' on!

I was worried about Countrywide for a while there

 

donate it to me.

 

Huh??

 

congrats... but honestly, I dont think I could ever bring my self to purchasing one of these brand new based on the horrible re-sale value...

 

 

Someone's gotta buy these things new...
...So I can buy them 3 years later for 1/3 of MSRP!

An E550 is only 100lbs lighter then a S550????? That comes as a shock

 

that goes for any car for me...let the dude with money burning holes in his pockets take the depreciation hit. i'll pick up the 1 year old for 30% less

Damn, thats not a bad price at all! Those things rock hard, much better than the previous gen. Blows away the competition as well (Audi A8 and BMW 7) Check out these wheels (Sevas Forged)

 

do limo on the rear windshield and 20 or 35% on the side glass

 

What about lexus?

Congrats on your pop's new ride.. im sure you're going to be begging to drive it all the time

 

Too much of a shock. E550 weighs 580lbs. less than S550.

3,885 to 4,465.

Cheers,

2 different tint is ugly. get the same % all around.

 

i'd do 20% all around. I did 20% on my last car, and I liked it, but it had that completely clear glass. I think most cars have a little privacy tint to them already these days so maybe even 35% would be enough. Not to mention I try to stay legal if I can rather than unrolling my windows everytime I see a cop. 5% is too dark, especially for the rear windshield. I think it's just dangerous when in reverse at night.

 

Crap my by the cls weigh 4144 or something my fault

 

That makes a lot more sense, I just didn't care enough to look myself, thanks!

 

WE WANT PICS!!!!!

I love the S550, look forward to purchase one maybe in the next couple of years. The technology in that car is simply insane.

 

What do you expect to see in the pics? A stock S550? You haven't seen one before?

And to the OP...Does 1/4 mile times really matter to you for a full size luxury car?

 

I expect to see a stock S550 in the pics. It's a big beautiful car so a few pictures wouldn't hurt. They would allow me to dream and fantasize a little more
