Hello everyone,

It's time to sell the SL65. I had wanted a V12 Mercedes since I was a kid, and when the twin turbo V12 SL came out, it was definitely a dream car I'd one day need to own.

I picked this up in the summer of 2014, so I've had it for a little less than 5 years. This car is definitely not a perfect garage queen! I am the third owner; original owner was the dealer's wife in California, then it spent a long time in Texas, then I picked it up and moved it to Georgia, and now Michigan.

The good:
- Everything works
- Full carbon fiber interior
- Black on black, recently polished
- New rear battery
- New passenger coil pack
- I'll throw in the iCarSoft scanner
- I've never really had any major issues with the car (ABC, etc) except for the coil pack replacement
- SL AMG specific car cover from Mercedes

The not-so-good:
- The brakes are worn and will eventually need changing (although they still stop the car incredibly hard)
- There's a 1" windshield chip/crack on the passenger side (I can get this fixed through insurance if necessary, or you can use it in your negotiation)
- Leather interior is definitely showing some wear
- It's got 98,000 miles? Some see that as a negative...
- Even though I normally store it in the winter, it did see 3 days of snow driving earlier this year when my DD C55 blew a starter
- Could use a new set of rear tires (I recommend going 295's)

Overall, this car is a fantastic, but it's definitely not "perfect" as you can expect. The asking price of $35k is a great deal for being a later car (newer bumpers, exhaust tips, brake calipers, black/black interior) on top of the additional items (carbon fiber interior), mixed with some negatives.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask!
