2017 mercedes-benz glc coupe, 2014 Jeep Wrangler
should I buy an sls

I am a car geek and am looking to buy my first sports car. I currently own a 2017 glc coupe and want to buy a second car. I found a 2011 SLS amg in a white exterier color with a black and red interier on autotrader. I don't know a ton about the car and am wondering if it's woth buying.

Here is a link to the car on autotrader

The beauty of the SLS is that it will not be made again and already appreciating beyond it's original MSRP in the case of low mileage specimens after 3 years of discontinuation so it is a no brainer. You can only lose money if you crash it without having it insured properly. Awesome car to drive and maintenance is not much more than any regular Benz. Other supercars are also fun to drive but most Ferraris and Lambos and McLarens will just depreciate like a brick.
