Mercedes s600
S65 personal opinion. . If ur not making over 150k a year then watch out... maintenance is brutal. All the v12's are.. they are very good built machines. ..I got a brabus tuned s600 and I got 56k on it now..running perfect.. they are solid cars..expect 150k to 200k on the motors life span if properly maintained. .. I have a perfect driving record and my insurance is about $300 a month. .. u have 2 options if u want a v12 benz..buy an extended warranty. .. between 7k and 10k every 4 years..or like me..take 10k $ and still it in a separate account for problems. .their good cars but the tinys of problems are gona run u $1,000 new motor is 24k jus5 to gige u an idea...the shocks are 3k..but if u still choose to get 1.. get a brabus tune with the limter taken off..and prepare to. Make Ferrari's look stupid.. ps I chose the 600 because for half the price difference between the 600 and 65 brabus will hook it up seriously or speedriven or renntech..and the diamond interior is a package on the 600 too.. all the 65 is amg version of the 600
