Our buyer was the local CarMax since that is the quickest and cleanest
way to sell that I'm aware of. Since it was over 10 years old they
were going to auction it off, and I doubt that they made much money on
the deal. I didn't want to be bothered with a private sale and
possible recriminations from a disgruntled purchaser.
The biggest issue with older luxury cars is maintenance. The cars may
be a bargain but parts and service are not.
I would have thought parts would be pretty available for a 2007. Hell, I'm
thinking of something in the 90's!

Many of the parts are only available through Mercedes and they are
pricey. I did have some luck buying a gray market part on EBAY but
that's a bit of a crap shoot and you still have to find a mechanic
that is willing to install it. It was OK for a while after that but
eventually started glitching again. Since I was really hankering to
get a twin turbo V8 S550 I just said the heck with it and did the
deal.
The S550 is a wonderful car but now I can't drive it anywhere.
