@Firewood yeah for peace of mind best to just address it never got to me though for some reason
@Adam I agree, the engine sounds excellent. But that whirring noise is indeed annoying. Not a deal killer, by any means, just surprised you didn't get it fixed miles ago. I'd need to get that sorted right off, or it'd drive me crazy.
@Firewood yes it is that's why I wanted to do the driving video and it was a little spirited of a drive but I also wanted people to hear the engine and how it pulls - its fast and a great highway car
@Adam Good job on the driving video. Nice north shore roads too, reminds me of my old Lloyd Neck house, across the bay from you. Is the high whistling noise the whirring of the power steering unit that you talked about? Thanks.
Just added a driving video!
@Firewood I just added a photo of the pano from the inside and from aerial perspective thank you! Driving video to be added shortly too.

@Firewood I will tomorrow as it’s dark now and I have picked up the car from my mechanic in getting it prepared for sale.
Update: I just uploaded the receipt for the passenger rear strut. And Lynmor said the driver side rear looks dry (which is good he said).

@Adam Info is much appreciated! Really a great looking ride in this color combo.
@Firewood Hi please see my latest updates to answer your question thank you! and good luck!
Update: Lynmor says "The power steering pump isn't leaking and works its just making whining noise". This isn't something that has been new to me - its been like this since I have owned it so if you want to get it replaced that is up to you the part is estimated to be around $500.
Update: Lynmor has fixed the Pass side rear strut (approx $1100 and will upload receipt tonight when I pay it).I am getting a quote for the power steering "whining". Stay tuned.
Bid in the amount of $3,550
@Firewood I will call Lynmor at 9 and get back to you when I have a better idea with their insights !
@Firewood Thank you! It is very clean! I will ensure the pics of the pano are added tomorrow by EOA - it looks sweet especially the dark top contrast to the silver !
Btw, did you get a quote or estimate to fix the power steering pump? Or to replace it? Anyone have an idea of what that might cost?
Sweet color. Looks in nice shape. Can you add a pic or two of the panoramic glass roof? Thanks.
@Benzfan80 HI thank you for asking - it is currently at Lynmor in Huntington having the passenger side rear strut replaced - you may take a look at it however I don't allow test drives for many reasons.
@Benzfan80 It may need a new pump - I recently had a belt replaced however best to just replace the pump in advance - it hasn't been an issue it just makes a noise. I will ask my mechanic today.
Is the car available for drive test tomorrow afternoon? I’m close by Oyster Bay.
Could you describe the power steering noise/issue in more detail? What’s causing it? Does it need a new pump?
Bid in the amount of $3,300
Hi All - just wanted to let you know I am having our local shop (Lynmor Motorsports in Huntington NY) replace the RR strut as it was leaking - you will now have a sorted air suspension (I recently replaced both fronts) - the LR is the only one not recently done - however - I have heard its rarer for the Rears to leak. I will post the receipt when I have it either today or tomorrow. thank you!

@manuals4ever great question. The car is located in NY and was only registered in NH. Oyster, Bay NY on Long Island specifically.
Is the car located in NY or NH (plates)?
Welcome all to my auction for my S550! I will be available throughout for any questions and will be engaged throughout. Good luck to the highest bidder! - Adam
