I was close to getting one, since I still like the old design over the new one.
Seats are extremely comfortable. Power and braking is amazing. I love the exhaust.
Just make sure he get an extended warranty.
One car is a high end plush luxo sedan with the best build quality and absolute best reliability of all time and one is a fast high end street racer sport sedan with horrible electronics, terrible reliability, bad built quality and a crapmatic air suspension that just loves to break at a cost in excess of $1000 per wheel.
Now if you compared an S550 against an LS460L, then you are talking about something in the same ball game. Mercedes dramatically improved the S class starting in 07.

It's not as prone to failing as mb.
Reliability is not that great, but I wouldn't call it terrible. Well, terrible compared to lexus.
Other prominent problems:
1. air suspension
2. door vacuum pumps
3. gauge cluster recall. I think it was ok in 06, can't remember

We considered an 08 S63 when shopping for my wife's LSL. Loved the S63 and if it was going to be my primary driver I may have gone with the Merc. End of the day the super deals on the LSL's made the price difference WAY too great for it to make sense. Was not aware of the issues with the S55 (other than batteries)- have drove several and known several folks who have owned but none owned one after the factory warranty was up.
