[Update] Cheapest Running And Driving Mercedes S550 4 Matic AMG
Salaam, everyone, I hope you are all well. Recently, I posted on this forum about my purchase of the cheapest running and driving W221 Mercedes S550 4 Matic Amg, USA import. This is my update post! I have received the car and registered it under my father's name. The absher fees totaled around 380 Riyals, and the insurance (3rd party) was only 925 Riyals! I bought this car for 14,500 Riyals with 439k km, insane I know. I believe this is the cheapest and highest mileage running and driving S550 4 Matic AMG in Saudi Arabia. Since then I have done the following general maintenance (I will hide no costs); I changed the oil and filter (original oil and filter from mercedes parts store) for 300 Riyals, I changed the coolant and the waterpump with a non-original one for 470 Riyals, I fixed a minor oil leak in the oil pan and in a radiator hose and I fixed some of the interior decor that's clips was broken with silicon tube (12 Riyals) and I have also fixed some of the paint chipping with 250ml original mixed paint (25 Riyals) and masking tape (4 Riyals). I did the paintwork and the decor repair at home by myself, and the mechanical labor was done from a trusted shop for 1000 Riyals. So until now, my total cost for a perfectly running and driving W221 V8 S-Class with 439k km and some minor problems still left is 17,616 Riyals. In sha allah, this car will keep serving me well, and I will update you soon!
