around $1300 for the S550

depending on how much you put down on the S63, lets just say 10%, you can lease it for $2200 for 36 months

Any idea on a standard S550 with sport pack? XD
3500 is 0 down and 2 years, 12k miles a year on the MB's website calculator for a base S63 @ $142k.

If you put 100% down, it is 0 a month

Default 2014 Mercedes-Benz S600 Guard interior cabin tweaked by TopCar



Click here to view more photos

Owner is from the Middle East

The Russian specialists from TopCar have recently finished working on a 2014 Mercedes-Benz S600 Guard interior cabin.

An armored S-Class belonging to someone from the Middle East went through an in-depth cabin customization handled by TopCar who applied a green theme combined with a rich emerald hue and a special type of leather ordered specifically for this car from Europe. The owner wanted a bold design without turning "into vulgar shocking" and agreed to customize his S600 Guard with decorative panels made from Karelian birch. The Nappa leather emerald green upholstery is complemented by Alcantara touches while the lettering on the dashboard and roof lining has a gold thread.

We remind you the Mercedes-Benz S-Class Guard offers up to VR7 levels of protection against military weapons and can withstand shrapnel coming from hand grenades and other similar explosives. Under the hood it's the same V12 6.0-liter with 530 HP (390 kW) and 612 lb-ft (830 Nm) of torque.

The only thing I dislike on the S-Class is that smiling steering wheel. The coupe has a three spoke

That is valid, I should think about doing that sometime. I wonder when aftermarket warranty company is going to exclude AMG vehicles, as it is a 100% money loser.
a lot of amg cars are being covered right now, just look on mbworld

Yes I know, I wonder when they are going to catch on to all these money losing policies to stop offering them.

If I am the aftermarket warranty company, I would not offer policy to AMG cars.

If you custom order your interior for some absurd cost, you can get the 3-spoke off the coupe fitted to your sedan.

I would imagine it is not difficult to do it yourself, everything should just bolt on and plug in.

Ohh, so the payment finally lowered. 1300 is very doable

Only about 4-5 months of waiting left...

I lost track of your thread. Is the S63 the one you decided on?
