We purchased an extended Mercedes-Benz CPO warranty with unlimited mileage through January 3, 2026. The warranty is fully transferable to the next private owner at any Mercedes-Benz dealership.\n \nWe also purchased a Mercedes service contract with the vehicle so that all scheduled maintenance has been done at our local Mercedes dealership (Feldmann Imports).\n Finding this spec was a mission. I spent months searching daily, looking specifically for an E 63 S Wagon with three incredibly rare enthusiast options: AMG Carbon Ceramic Brakes, AMG Performance Seats, and Forged Wheels. Weeks would go by without a single car listed with even two of those options, let alone all three.\n Then this car popped up at 2 AM with no photos, just a VIN. As soon as the dealership opened we called and put down a deposit. And to our surprise, it wasn\u2019t just the rare trifecta of performance options. It was also painted in Northern Lights Violet Metallic, a color we had never seen on an E 63 Wagon during our search. On top of that, it was optioned with nearly every ordering guide feature available, making this build truly one of a kind.\n \n We have only hand washed it, using Obsessed Garage procedures and products, storing it in a garage\u2014and after washing keeping it under a car cover\u2014with a battery tender when not in use.\n\n The car has never lost a single bar on the oil level indicator between factory recommended maintenance services at Mercedes. We took the car on 01/31/25 to Mercedes dealership Feldmann Imports for its most recent scheduled service, and that service includes \u201cMULTI POINT INSPECTION,\u201d which includes checking for leaks. None were found.\nFor added assurance, as noted above, the car is covered by the Mercedes Certified Pre-Owned Warranty until January 2026. This unlimited mileage protection is fully transferable to the next private party and has a $0 deductible.\n\n We are downsizing as a family and are sad to let our favorite car go. Every friend and family member who sees it is sorry to hear it\u2019s being sold. Many have told us not to let it go because they love it so much. It\u2019s been an outstanding car that makes us smile every time we drive it, and we\u2019re excited for the next owner to experience that same joy.\n \nIf you are new to Bring a Trailer or even if you are not we recommend reviewing the How It Works section:https://bringatrailer.com/how-bat-works/ Be sure to check out the FAQ link on that page as well.\n We\u2019re happy to answer any questions or provide additional photos or information upon request. \nDon\u2019t forget to hit \u201cWatch\u201d to follow the auction.

A code \u201cZ01 PA1 paint request - not offered for this model\u201d was required to unlock this color, because Northern Lights Violet Metallic was not offered.

These brakes bite hard \u2014 even when completely cold \u2014 unlike other CCB systems that are often criticized for requiring heat before they perform. Unlike many other setups, these do not squeak. They are quiet, consistent, and provide precise, fade-free stopping power every time. They also produce virtually zero brake dust, which is a massive improvement over the standard steel brakes, known for heavy dust output.\r\n\r\nThe advantages do not stop there. The front CCB rotors measure 402 x 39 mm, compared to 390 x 36 mm on the steel rotors \u2014 offering greater thermal capacity and a larger swept area. They also fill out the wheel visually, and the mirror-like finish of the CCB rotor reflects light beautifully behind the 20\u201d forged wheels. The calipers\u2019 gold color is exclusive to AMG CCBs, and these calipers frequently draw attention and compliments.\r\nThe rear rotors are larger as well: 360 x 32 mm versus 360 x 26 mm on steel-equipped cars.\r\n\r\nIn addition to improved performance, carbon ceramics offer a 40% weight savings compared to standard discs. This weight reduction is in rotating, unsprung mass \u2014 exactly where performance cars benefit most.\r\n\r\nCCB rotors are also known for longevity. Many have lasted well over 100,000 miles. To help preserve the rotors, we proactively replaced the rear pads in January 2025 at Feldmann Imports (a Mercedes-Benz dealership), before the car or Mercedes indicated it was required. The rotors remained in excellent condition and accepted the new pads with no issue.

But also, don't settle. I almost bought 3 different s212's just because I wanted one so bad. But decided to be patient with cash in hand. @andytrio actually put me onto the s212 registry where I started searching vins. Ended up Google searching and coming up with a number. No name but in my state. Called him and was blown away to learn that it was one of only a dozen north American cars (all models) to go through the designo performance studio program. He doubled the MSRP in options bringing it to around $210k in today's dollars. It was my most desirable color combo too, pure white on full saddle Napa leather/Alcantara and CCB done by the factory in yellow (only one I know of). It was meant to be. I convinced him to sell and had it in my garage the same week. Paul from Designo North America reached out to me after he heard about my acquisition to tell me how special that car is. I even have the original AMG studio images from the spec build. \r\n\r\nMine could potentially be available here if this car is within my budget ;) I do love purple and AMG wagons.\r\n\r\nBrandon", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1749919098, "type": "comment", "endDate": "2025-06-14 16:38:18+00"}, {"id": 17957390, "authorName": "Beight", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/beight/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Will the lien be paid prior to the auction close or is the plan to use the proceeds from the sale to fully pay off the lien?", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1749921093, "type": "comment", "endDate": "2025-06-14 17:11:33+00"}, {"id": 17957498, "authorName": "Novice_Driver (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/novice_driver/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@Beight\r\nThe proceeds of the sale will pay off the lien in full.", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1749921625, "type": "comment", "endDate": "2025-06-14 17:20:25+00"}, {"id": 17957630, "authorName": "Novice_Driver (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/novice_driver/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Thank you @subiefiles for making an account and commenting!
