SL63 vs SL600 - which one to buy?
My current lease on my 2005 SL 600 is coming to an end in a few months and I am debating whether to go with an SL600 vs SL 63 AMG; I have had much driving pleasure from my SL600 but I am curious as to the experience I would have with an SL63 AMG. Does anyone feel strongly one way or the other?

I'd go with the SL600 for luxury, the SL63 for a more sportier look. If I was deciding, I'd definitely get the SL63.

You can do better than that. I found one that had 800 miles and was only 3 months old for 114k.
In the end I got a brand new one for 125K. Found it on autotrader, just a motivated dealership that needed to move some inventory.

You will love the SL63. The MCT is awesome and the exhaust note can't be beat. Everywhere I go people comment on the car and the sound.
