Nice, just remember, that regardless of the great deal you got, you're still buying parts and paying for service, on a car that when new cost $70-80K. So regular maintenance is critical. Otherwise, the "great deal" used luxury cars can end up nickel and diming you to death, especially when we're talking Flagship cars.
Congrats and enjoy though! And we need pics...

I actually did factory service for MB.. I spent the better part of my work life as a shop owner in Scottsdale AZ.. Lots of exotics and Euro cars... MB was always a decent car sans the electrical switches etc in the AZ heat.. the "lube" they used would migrate into the contact areas and we were forever replacing window switches.. Other problem was people using the wrong PS/ATF fluids..Nice, just remember, that regardless of the great deal you got, you're still buying parts and paying for service, on a car that when new cost $70-80K.

Now go substitute ATF in an Audi PS system (they use a green mineral oil based fluid) the cost will tag you for about $1600 cha ching...
something tells me the tires and wheels would cost more than the car

yep, pretty darn close... amazing the depreciation hit from new.. dollar for dollar, I think a ford truck holds value better but hey , never seen a ford truck cost 6 figures either..nice car, those are getting more and more popular with the high miles., let me guess. you paid about 8-10k for it?
i just bought an 02 S55 amg with 58k miles for 15k! god forbid when something goes wrong with it though!!!!
BEST OF LUCK with the new ride!
S55 is a sweet car!! would like to have the ground effects for mine

Built as a limited edition, 2002 did mark the last year before a major engine overhaul that pumped up performance in the 2003 model year. Still, the 2002 S55 AMG's hand-built 5.4-liter V8 pumped out 354 horsepower and 391 pounds-feet of torque.
the car is sick, however it is that horizon blue which i really dont like
get a manual for it 
The AMGs tend to last a lot longer
