2006 S430 Low price low miles, Unbelievable value

recently just bought a super low mileage 2006 S430 California one owner car, that had been pampered and garaged. Beautiful flawless interior, gorgeous exterior with AMG sport package and new tires. Car had around 87000 miles on it, so I didn't squabble over 10k price, it also had new tires. I own another 2009 S550 but couldn't resist buying this one as it was last year of the body style and this one had wonderful service records. Engine shifts perfectly, AC blows cold, fresh oil change, it is a really great car for the money and you simply cannot buy a car of this high quality for this amount of money.

Great on long trips and commuting in traffic

This car is the best i ever owned, always attention from others , many compliments while filling up at gas station. i had a AMG package on my previous 2006 S 500. I had 230k mileages on it. always dealer maintained . I lost it as engine caught as result of oil. change at dealership in Annapolis MD. drove 30 min home and fire happened. However i must say not my fault or cars. just got a bad tech , I would still recommend this vehicle . I have dropped out of the Mercedes family because of poor service locally.
