2006 SL55, Audi RS6, 1993 Corvette ZR1
Switched Brands

Hi Guys,
Just made the move from an Audi RS6 to an SL55 AMG. A move I should have made some time ago. The RS6 was a great car but is half the fun of my SL55. Being an engineer, I have done my homework researching the car and plan on keeping it a while. It has 28k miles on it and has a 2 year/100k CPO. I guess some of the older 03 and 04s have high miles. Any long term drive train issues. Thanks
Mike

Hi, Mike and welcome to the forum.

I have just shy of 59,000 miles on my 2003 SL55, most of them after performing significant engine mods and so far the engine and drivetrain have been bulletproof.
