Does anyone have any history with these cars? Opinions?

Obviously much different than Ford GT, real close to buying one just would like to get opinion from the forum.

I had two SL55's and came close to buying a 2008 SL65 but bought the 55 instead. Enjoyed the cars. I have driven a couple of 65's. Good solid, all around, comfortable car. Very fast once rolling. I actually had a guy in a modified 65 get me pretty good when I had the GT in stock form. Depreciation hog, has to be one of the worst, so maybe a good used car buy. Easy to get more horsepower because of the turbos. Heavy front end. If you are looking for a really fast, comfortable daily driver, and don't care about the depreciation, it is a great car. Electronics surprisingly behind Should be down the learning curve since they have been making it for 5-6 years so reasonable reliability. Not an easy car to sell when out of the warranty period. Hope this helps; good luck with decision.

Get one that is 2-3 years old. They will be half the sticker price. I have had multiple 65 and 600 cars. Absolutely love them. Love my s65.

Great cars from what I have been told while in warranty. This one just went 11.01 at 127.4 with tune tires and 100oct gas.

I'm on my 4th TT V12 benz....there is NO better daily driver with its combo of torque and high speed poise....I'm flying solo w/o a warranty on my CL65 now, but so far so good, since Chrysler revoked my warranty after realizing how much they lose on these things.......

Here's what they are wholesaling for. I personally think the price you listed is too high, but if you like it...Buy it.... Its only money and you can always make more. BTW, with these cars it is always best to buy the extended warranty, as long as it is Mercedes' warranty and not a 3rd party. Good Luck!

I am still surprised that Chrysler cancelled the warranty program completely as opposed to just offering them at a higher price.
