Thinking of buying this...any feedback, pointers please

Loving the swept turbine wheels on that S class you linked. A slight bit or extra effort for the cleaning, but look superb!

Cue for someone to claim the absolute opposite

And here I am!

I had the Dynamic Multi-Contour seats in both my E63's and they were, without question, the most comfortable seats I’ve experienced in any car regardless of manufacturer or price.

Dynamic multi contour seats are the Dogs dangleys, super comfortable

Yup

Wow - that’s quite an accolade! These are the seats I’m saying are the most uncomfortable (and mine were the top spec too - 11k miles only and with luxury nappa). Looked nice, just uncomfortable.

Have to be honest, the seats in things like CL/S-class seem to be about the best I’ve found for comfort MB-wise (which makes sense)

But even everyday B/C-class seats seem fine, the 212 seats were just too flat and hard, possibly something to do with the driving position too maybe? Ride comfort wasn’t great on typical UK roads with steel springs up front and 19” tyres either though.

It’s not an AMG thing - I’ve had quite a few of those of all ages. GL63 seats are super comfy, as were both of the 211 E55s and my CLK55.

Each to their own - as I say I know I wasn’t the only one on here that noticed this though!

Right - having weighed up the pros and cons of AMG ownership and potential length of service and distances, plus residuals, with all your invaluable inputs, I have decided to....
Get an S class 350d non limo. I'll fix my W212 and run it for a bit longer to get the most out of the money I'm, putting into it and try and sell it privately. WBAC value it @£2k.
I'm not in a rush and there are a few S classes up for sale with decent mileage in the sub£20k bracket.
Is adblue nox sensors an issue with high mileage use vs lower mileage?
Thanks

Obvious suggestion - S63!

Haha

I will accept that it takes quite a while to get the settings perfect because they're all steplessly variable, but once I did they were superb. I drove many 8 / 10 / 12 hr days in those cars and always stepped out of them with no aches or pains and no indication I'd been sat in the seat for so long.

I did see one, but very much out of my maintenance price range for unexpected large bills!

They do look good - I'm looking for something a bit newer which I can get an extended warranty on for less cost - preferably 8yrs /80k

Exactly my findings with the seats. Extremely comfortable. Without doubt the most comfortable I have experienced.
