Buying a 2015-2016 S65 - What should I know?
Hello Guys,
I'm getting into the final stages of buying an S65. Currently, I'm deciding between the limited vehicle options available, between a black or white exterior. I'm leaning towards the white as the black exterior has a black interior and black wheels. Seems too much of one color.
None of the options have a warranty remaining. Any suggestions on who to buy a dealer warranty from? I imagine it's in the $5K range? It would not make any sense to me to own a V12 twin turbo without a full warranty.
I do plan to add Renntech minor modifications to the vehicle to pull out as much performance as possible without making any serious modifications.
Anything else that I should keep in mind or advice for me?
I was also thinking of adding a clear bra to the bottom of the vehicle. What are your thoughts on that?
Thanks for your time!

unless youre rich, you have to get a warranty. So do that first. A mb cpo is best for 2 yrs is max. about 4500?
Or try asking the dealer what warranty they sell. One that is popular is fidelity, and it can for 1-7 yrs.
But will start around 3k , up to 8,9 10k
after that, make sure the mods dont void the warranty,

Thanks guys, just purchased a 2017 S65 with warranty until middle of next year. Will likely get an extended warranty when the time comes.
Deciding on minimal performance modifications at the moment. So far, decided on ECU and suspension lift module from Renntech.
Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks a lot
