I shouldn't have taken a picture that close, it's super small and out of the line of sight. I'm not too worried haha! Thank you everyone for the bids and an exciting final few minutes!

Quick research estimates motor mount replacement at roughly between $500 and $2000 depending on if you DIY it or use a shop. Hope that helps. November 14th, 2022 at 10:24am ESTSinatra23 (7) Seller 0Hi @McMinnow This vehicle had the mounts replaced roughly 30,000 miles ago, as mentioned on the VMI. My mechanic has felt the vibration in the wheel, and has noted that they don't need to be replaced as of now. I personally do not feel it when driving- maybe a little if I decide to move it for the first time in my driveway on a cold start-up. I wait until it warms up to actually drive the car, as I know she's a little older haha. That is a common wear item on W221s, as their mounts are pretty soft to begin with. I do not know how much the repair would cost, as my mechanic said it wasn't necessary. I'll talk to my service writer, get general info, and DM it to you ASAP. Just trying to be up front with the condition, as I take pride in my vehicles. Thanks!November 14th, 2022 at 10:06am ESTMcMinnow (1) 0Sinatra 23, would you provide some additional detail about the vibration in steering wheel. Does that also occur when driving the car? Your mechanic stated it did not need motor mounts yet? Not being familiar with this model, are motor mount replacements common? If so after how many miles and do you know an approximate amount for the repair?November 13th, 2022 at 5:33pm EST$11,500 bid placed by @Soonerdad12November 13th, 2022 at 1:07pm EST$11,050 bid placed by @Niko45November 13th, 2022 at 8:31am EST$10,800 bid placed by @KloureiroNovember 12th, 2022 at 12:57pm EST$10,550 bid placed by @Cruiser12November 12th, 2022 at 7:42am EST$7,449 bid placed by @KloureiroNovember 11th, 2022 at 9:00pm EST$7,199 bid placed by @NishbooNovember 11th, 2022 at 8:58pm EST$6,750 bid placed by @Niko45November 11th, 2022 at 8:09pm EST$6,500 bid placed by @NishbooNovember 11th, 2022 at 6:17pm EST$6,250 bid placed by @Niko45November 11th, 2022 at 9:01am EST$6,000 bid placed by @KloureiroNovember 6th, 2022 at 2:38pm EST$5,750 bid placed by @LCJoeNovember 6th, 2022 at 9:39am ESTSinatra23 (7) Seller 0Hi @raffi I sent you a PM (sorry, I’m on PA time) but full transparency for you and any other prospective bidders: The vehicle has an active loan through Mercedes Benz Financial Services. If the vehicle meets reserve, the buyer will send me the funds, I will pay off the loan and expedite the title through the dealership I work at. This will take around 2-3 weeks. In the interim, I will give the S550 one last Mercedes-Benz check-up (with my 35 year master tech) and get a full detail so it’s ready to go. Let me know if you have any other questions and happy bidding!November 6th, 2022 at 9:35am ESTraffi (1) 0Who holds the title ?November 6th, 2022 at 9:29am ESTraffi (1) 0Title Status: Clean Pennsylvania w/lien..

Thanks to the MB Market for a great write-up. A quick history of the car: This vehicle was originally special-ordered by a prominent client at MB of West Chester back in 2008. He opted for the Designo Espresso Interior Package, but decided for Arctic White paint instead of the Mocha Black usually picked on a Designo Espresso Edition vehicle. The MSRP was nearly $122,000 back in '09! As shown in the VMI and the attached CARFAX, this S has a heavy service history at multiple MB dealers on the East Coast (most of the miles come from driving to the first owner's properties in SC and FL) and a lot of common 221 problems have already been addressed. I'm here to answer any questions- and because I work at a Mercedes dealership, the purchase process will be made as seamless as possible. Thanks again and good luck! -Anthony
