Anyway the dealer of course says I'd be crazy to by back because the by back is 50k plus I would need to certify it but would save 3k dollars on over mileage. I just feel if I buy back I'd put like 20 k down have a very small payment and keep for a while and stop with all these car Payments. I've been looking at cert pre owned same car and yes I can get less mileage but price is the same or more on this car I rather keep mine because it's all highway and I know how I kept it. I also can go new and get a really good deal with all the Incentives but then again never see my way out of owning this outright. I'm on a debt free kick. Also thinking of just going in a totally different direction like s550 as those certified pre owned seem much more reasonable where you can get a car that was 110k list for 65k now. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

With two cars, what purpose does the M550 serve? Is the F150 a daily, or for work, or simply just another car to load miles on? If you like the F150, why not get maybe something sportier and exciting to compliment it? Or keep the M550 and find something to replace the F150, or just have the M550 only and drive it till the wheels fall off
As for the S-Class, the S550's are very nice, and the M278 engine is bulletproof, but all S550's are pre-facelift models, which I believe use an older version of command, have an older transmission design which isn't as smooth as the newer 9speed, and no apple carplay, not to mention a lot of gadgets which can easily break. I really like the S-Class, however, I would recommend a facelift (2018+) S560 over the S550.
