One of my best friend's S320 CDI caught on highway & its one of the best maintained car in the city. It always shine like a mirror.

The s-class is very nice. Would've loved the pics in color though

Here is the S500. I have not taken the front of the car as it was blacked and everyone knows hot it looks. The wheels could have been better.

Nice ! Any idea when the facelifted S will be out ?

: Have lost the spare key of my previous gen C-class, how much would a new one cost?

It might be the company's test car brought down for homologation. Was it de-badged or covered the badges?

Cyrus43 · 30th October 2009, 09:27

No. It had badges. It was a 500 and it had those twin Chrome tipped exhausts.

Wow, then it might be a direct import! Great find buddy! Have you noticed the wheels?

speedy · 30th October 2009, 10:44

Hani the car does exist and it need not be homologated as it is a direct import and above the required price bracket. There also is a deep blue S 600 in town. The 500 and 600 are direct imports.

Ok speedy; but I think company has not started importing the FL S-classes!

Is the tansanite blue S600 the facelifted one?

Sahil · 30th October 2009, 14:02

I'm sure the current S will be going at a handsome discount now that the facelift is due to arrive. Any idea on that figure?

spiff · 30th October 2009, 15:58

Sahil - last time I checked was 9 lacs

Lovely S500 there friend. Where did you find the facelifted version? is it some place where Mercedes keeps its SECRET cars?

Nice pic.

An amazing piece of machinery there.
