E55 to SL63?

I had an early SL55 that I liked a lot that I traded for my E55 because I needed the back seats and doors. Well, I no longer need the back seats and extra doors and I'm back looking at SL's again despite my affection for the E55.

I've found a very low milage 2011 SL63, white with black interior with an asking price of 113 K which seems a bit steep but, the car is georgous. I'm a little concerned that I will find I prefer the supercharged engine over the NA one plus I've heard the the 63 engine has some issues.

So, what do you guy's think is a fair price for a 2011 SL63 with 4,750 miles and what, if any, are the common issues associated with these cars. I'd also like to hear any comments from someone that went from a 55K to the 63 and their opinion of the performance difference.

A friend of mine recently paid $115k for a 2011 w/ 10k miles. Hopefully that helps some.

I think its high, given the market. I would think below 110K, like 105 to 110
