Okay, finally getting around to posting pics of the new car
I looked for almost 5 years for an SL65 and when this one came up with a 44k more miles and 3 more years extended warranty, it was time to buy one. Ok yeah I overpaid because of the $7000 warranty. Besides one wheel with chrome peeling, this is the best one I've seen. 50k miles at the time of purchase and already has had every major problem that goes wrong done. What do you guys think?

You're looking at mid 30s if you're lucky. Chances are though, low 30's. Even low miles like that these cars have a history of issues, high cost maintenance, 2500.00 brake jobs, they just don't resell well. You can't gauge mine, I paid more because of the warranty but I could have gotten the same car for $30k without.

I don't understand why someone would have paid the insane price this car cost new and not go ahead and pay the couple of extra bucks for options such as parking sensors and keyless go

Keyless go bummed me out, oh well, this car was perfect otherwise.
