A Long Shot - Looking for Help

So, ~5 years ago, during a regular visit to the Mercedes dealer to get the family '04 G500 serviced, while I was 12 years old, I ran across a beautiful 2009 SL600 V12 RENNtech in Mars red for sale. I have a C300 right now, and a '98 ML320. I was accepted into the Pre-Med college that I wanted to go to with partial scholarship, and now my dad is willing to trade in and upgrade my car if I want. Well so basically what I'm trying to do, is track down either this car, or one identical to it.

this one might actually be the exact one that I sat in, but I am not sure!

I would need you guys' expertise on how expensive it could potentially be, and where I could find one. I live in NC currently, but shipping is not a problem.

Here's a picture of it, if it helps! Yes, I looked like a little idiot (had just woken up), and don't worry my hair is short now haha!

I fell in love with this car and think about it all the time, and I think I might be able to afford it now.

EDIT: SOMEHOW WE FOUND THE VIN AND IT'S A 2009, and just sold, so I'll need to find an identical one,

Maybe after you get out of med school and get a few years of practice under your belt, that '09 SL600 will be within your budget. Heck, it will be close to 20 years old by then so it should be well under $50k by then.
