Why is it so hard to find a 2007 S550 with ABC. I have been looking for the last three months and all I can find is air-matic version. I wanted the S600 but the expense is just to much. I Drove an S600 and feel in love with the ABC suspension, but wish to go with a V8. Will I need to buy the S600. Also wish to know are turbo a good add-on.

thanks

Did they build S550's with ABC?

Wow, I wish I had read this a month ago! On aug 27 I traded in a 2007 S550 with ABC. The dealer since sold the car, and they didn't even mention the ABC in their ad. The current owner probably doesn't even know he has it!

Good luck finding one with this suspension. It is completely worth the wait. Awesome suspension! I suspect few cars have it. I know when I ordered mine, the dealer didn't know what it was and tried very hard to convince me to order the 4matic instead.

I'd suggest running a nationwide search on Autotrader.com. There's a search field that lets you search the listings by keywords. I added "ABC" to a search for 2007 s550 with ABC and found 4 for sale nationwide: I used my zip code so ignore the "Distance" figure.

Opening the search to 2008s as well as 07's produced five results.

I've found that pretty much everybody including MB dealers list their cars on AT.

You can set up automated searches on Autotrader and it'll send you an email the moment a car you're looking for is added to the site. New cars come and go daily on there. You may have to do some driving (or flying) to get your ABC car, but I'm sure you won't mind the drive home.

ABC is a very rare and expensive option to the regular s550. hard to find!, if you talk to a dealer and ask them to find you an ABC car they would be able to track one down for you. And I have personally never seen a turbo for a s550, several superchargers but they are usually a hack install and ive never seen one that ran right. there is allways some driveability problems with the aftermarker systems on these.
