2005 SL 65 Good or Bad.
Just found a 2005 SL 65 near me for sale 47000 miles. Any issues with the motor transmission to be concerned about? Or any other issues for that matter? I have a 2009 SL 550 with 19000 miles. so I know about issues with ABC and that kind of stuff.

The V12 is very reliable. If the coilpacks have not been updated, budget for those because they will fail before 80k miles or if you get a tune. Same issues as all other ABC equipped vehicles.
