This 2020 S560 is a loaded, final-year example in a stunning Lunar Blue Metallic over Porcelain, powered by the twin-turbo V8. It sits on Cars and Bids at $22,222 with six days to go.2020 Mercedes-Benz S560Cars & BidsWhat it's worth right nowSteep depreciation has made the W222 S-Class a remarkable luxury value. According to Edmunds and current listings, a 2020 S560 in great condition carries a retail value close to $62,800 at lower mileage, with clean examples generally trading from the low $40,000s into the low $50,000s, against a sticker north of $100,000 when new.AdvertisementAdvertisementFair value for a well-maintained example at this mileage sits close to $40,000 to $52,000, most likely close to $44,000 to $48,000, with the loaded specification and desirable color supporting the figure. At $22,222 with six days remaining and a reserve, the bidding should climb into that range.2020 Mercedes-Benz S560Cars & BidsCondition and detailsThe car is a loaded, well-kept flagship. Finished in Lunar Blue Metallic over a Porcelain and black interior, it runs the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, rated at 463 horsepower, through a nine-speed automatic to the rear wheels, with the Premium, Driver Assistance, and AMG Line Exterior packages, a self-leveling suspension, 20-inch wheels, soft-close doors, power rear seats, and a head-up display. The service history shows consistent oil changes and a brake job, and the car presents with only a minor upholstery blemish.2020 Mercedes-Benz S560Cars & BidsA few points deserve attention. As a complex luxury flagship, the W222 can be costly to maintain out of warranty, particularly the self-leveling suspension and the extensive electronics, so budget for specialist upkeep and get a pre-purchase inspection. At 59,300 miles the car is well within its comfort zone, and the maintenance records are reassuring, but a thorough inspection of the suspension and systems is worthwhile. The tires carry 2022 date codes, so check their condition.2020 Mercedes-Benz S560Cars & BidsThe offerSpecificationDetailMakeMercedes-BenzModelS560Year2020Mileage59,300 milesEngine4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8Power463 hp and 516 lb.ft of torqueTransmission9-speed automaticDrive typeRear-wheel driveExterior colorLunar Blue MetallicInterior colorPorcelain and blackCurrent bid$22,222, with six days leftInterested in this 2020 Mercedes-Benz S560 Sedan? View the listing here.What makes the S560 uniqueThe W222 S-Class set a new standard for the luxury-sedan segment when it arrived, and it remained the benchmark throughout its life. Mercedes-Benz described it as developed from the inside out, and period road testers agreed it redefined interior comfort, with a hushed, gliding ride, sumptuous materials, and a suite of technology that was genuinely cutting-edge at launch. The S560 sits near the top of the range, powered by a 463-horsepower twin-turbocharged V8 that delivers effortless, silent thrust befitting a flagship.2020 Mercedes-Benz S560Cars & BidsAdvertisementAdvertisementThat combination of serene comfort, imposing presence, and advanced engineering is what has made the S-Class the default choice for those who want the best, and the W222 executed it as well as any generation before it. In a rare and elegant Lunar Blue over Porcelain specification, this example has the kind of understated, tailored presence that the S-Class does better than anything, now available for a fraction of its original price.2020 Mercedes-Benz S560Cars & BidsMy takeThis is an enormous amount of luxury car for the money, and the specification is a highlight. Lunar Blue over Porcelain is a genuinely beautiful, uncommon combination, the equipment list is comprehensive, and the W222 remains one of the most comfortable and refined cars ever made. The depreciation that makes it attainable is simply the reality of flagship luxury sedans rather than any reflection on the car.Fair value sits close to $40,000 to $52,000, most likely close to $44,000 to $48,000, with running costs the main thing to plan for. Before bidding, review the service history, get a specialist inspection focused on the suspension and electronics, and budget for the upkeep a flagship Mercedes demands. Handle that, and this is a supremely comfortable, benchmark luxury sedan at a genuine discount.Disclaimer: This post is for informational purposes only. We are not a dealership or broker.
