Traded my 04SL w 93K. Like leaving a super model mistress(I imagine). Best car I have ever experienced, but after 20 some non routine service/repair events and 2 baling wire repairs(gas tank baffle and top side panel) leaking ABC pump and no warranty I balked. The best to you all.

 

Good luck!

 

I understand completely. My experience with my SL500 has been similiar. When my extended warranty is up at 98K I will have to say goodbye as well and I will miss the car greatly. The repair costs have been truly eye watering. The extended warranty was $2800. Repair costs have been over $16,000 coverred by warranty. I wish Mercedes could have made the SL at least as reliable as my 2005 E-Class which has been great.

 

Get a Nissan GT-R.
You won't be disappointed.
Promise!

 

so far so fun..enjoy 4 seats for grandkids and has most all SL amenities but miss the ABC ride. and the quick top and topdown trunk storage.

 

G37 Ver nice.
But my GTR has room up front (other than driver, of course) for 1 front passenger seat (could be an adult) + room in back for 3 grandkids or 4 smaller ones. Don't know if there any seatbelts in back though.
