Buying a SL65 as my first mercedes 2006-2007 and need some help!!

I am a new member so I hope it's alright asking this.

I have finally saved enough money for my dream car a 65 AMG. I need to know all of the goods and bads of the vehicle. I love all that I've heard and the car is a breathe taker. Please help me. I want to get one with under 25k for miles and get a factory warranty or some sort. I would also like help with comments on an aftermarket exhaust system. Please help me! I am going to be buying the a new vehicle in mid April and I really really want the v12 twin tubro bad.

Thanks to anyone that can help me

John

Hey! That's great!

Some advice:
  1. Don't rush the search. If you don't like the choices you see at first just wait: other cars will become available and prices are going down, not up.
  2. Check the vehicle's service history. Don't buy a car that's spent a lot of time in the shop. In particular avoid a car with a history of problems with the big ticket items: engine, transmission, ABC. The AMG engines and transmissions tend to be really strong so a problem there would be unusual. ABC seems to be hit or miss, with some people having lots of issues while others have next to none.
  3. The Mercedes CPO warranty is comprehensive but you'll have to buy the SL from a dealer in order to get it.
Good luck! Have fun with the process!!

Don't buy without an MB warranty.
