Yes this issues are bound to happen, I already had to change the engine mounts, both coil packs go bad, an ABC pump, both my front struts, and my brakes, pse pump and so on all go out from the 50-60k range but it helps a lot when you get warranties on these cars, basically paid for almost everything except the brakes since those are wear items.
I wonder if there's any distinction between the expensive warranties sold to electronic appliance buyers which are well known to be cash cows for the retailers, and ours. A handful of owners with warranty success stories could influence the whole market, as I've found.

Do any of you daily your SL65's? Reading on here some it looks like they can be more reliable if driven daily?

I daily drive mine, (20-150 miles a day) a lot of the parts seem more age related then mileage expect the coil packs. I feel 50,000-60,000 miles is there sweet spot to go out. Plan is to drive it up till warranty runs out. Then buy another SL65 as these tank in prices every year and do a massive turbo build on my old SL65, still got 29k miles to go so that should be a good 1.5-2 years seeing I put 20k in my 1 year 2 months
