Selling my SL65

This has been a great weekend car with absolutely no issues, but it's time to move on to something else. I'm currently looking at 993 Turbo's and CLK BS.

Here is a link to my car, let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks
Todd

both cars you list as future options are awesome to drive especially if you get close to your asking price, it would be a wash I think.....if you went with a 996 turbo, you could make a few bucks for some mods, etc....or your bank book....

Lamborghini Dallas is selling a 2008 SL65 with 9k miles for $84,999.00 before any negotiated discounts. You may have a tough time with your price point unless you can find someone who appreciates all of your upgrades. Personally, I would want the newer car with lower miles.

Thanks for the feedback, my price is negotiable, anyone who knows these cars knows that the 5 year service is expensive, and I've updated the two major known issues. I've had some interest and someone driving for NV to see it in person, that's always a good sign.

I hear ya. I just spent $5k on service and I still need to have the AC looked at, the shocks on the trunk need to be replaced (won't stay up anymore) and the soft close trunk stopped working after I let go of it and it closed with some force. Still love the car, it just needs expensive maintenance.

Nice car .... can see you have taken good care of it .... rubbing the leather every 90 days ...... perfect ... also the sale site is top dollar. You should not have any problem selling it.
