considering SL63

...that would be impossible, but if one is willing to give up that much I would definitely consider one. All things considered, they are cutting back on production of the SL63 and there is no money back on them at the moment (that I know of). I would say somewhere in the $4k-$5k off MSRP would be a good deal at the moment.

09 would be a risky year. the engines have several problems, head bolts, valve train, etc and the 09 was the worse, 11 would be less risky. Find one that has had all the updates would be best

sorry that I brought u into this, accidentally replied to the wrong thread which I just checked the date was from 2008 (was replying to another thread but I guess I accidentally scrolled down to a "Related Thread" and replied there which accidentally bumped this thread up. Sorry about that.
