Want an 09 SL65
Hi Guys, I have an 06 SL65 with about 50k on it, but thought I might try an 09 with less than 10k on it. I know about the ones on the bay and auto trader.
Anybody know of a really nice car for sale?

Luvasl55 meant that because he/she can't afford an '09 SL65, they don't want to be teased by helping you look for one.

To my knowledge it just has some updates but the power is the same. Different front and rear end treatment. I don't think the "size" of your check book matters. It's how you use it.

'05 SL65
I think there are only 1-2 cars right FS that fits your filter. Assuming you don't want a black series.

Given that in '08 only 120 were US bound and '09 had a bunch of BS and the recession started, I won't be surprised if only 50 exit.

Keep your '06 and buy a 911TT

Well, that's an excellent idea, but I already own a 08' 911TT with 6K on it.
I love Porsches but the SL65 is my favorite.

There is a reason for their rarity. 200K was alot for a hot rodded SL.

I use by SL65 for an everyday driver and don't think a black would really work for that.
