That is a tough decision. Personally I never considered the sl63. I've always wanted the sls and while the GT seems to be an amazing car, I couldn't wait for it and ultimately decided the sls was the route. Not to take anything away from the GT or sl63 but they are not limited cars and will be produced every year. Just something to consider. This is the best picture of the car I've taken so far.

Just search online for amg key and you should find plenty of links. It's pretty much the same plastic backing with a metal amg emblem. They're expensive, about $150, but I thought the car deserved a key to differentiate it from my gfs glk.

Thanks for enjoying, I've tried to upload more to my profile but the mobile app isn't allowing me to. I just keep getting an error.

If you have a good relationship with the dealer ask if you can buy directly from the person trading it in...unless the dealership is trading cars to get this one for you. To be honest I wouldn't consider paying over 125k for what you've mentioned. Depending on options and what value those add to you, you may consider paying more. I haven't looked in a a few months but when I was looking, there were quite a few for sale well under 130.

I would just make sure to have a ppi done. Check to see how long, if any, warranty is left. I would not buy one without a warranty. Haven't heard of any major/common problems. One member had a lot of problems but that's the only car I've heard with major issues. As with any car, check tires and brakes...could be a major cost right around the corner. I would look underneath the car to see if there is any damage from the low clearance. Usually a big way to negotiate prices....unfortunately mine was immaculate so I couldn't use that.
