2006 SL55 AMG, Yes or No?
My dealer called me this morning with a smokin deal on a slightly used loaded 2006 white/black SL55 AMG with 9K miles and a CPO for $79K (new it was $145K). I'm tempted but don't know enough about the SL55. Opinions please, good car, bad car, walk away, run away, great price, good price, can do better etc. You're the experts and I value your opinions and experiences. Thanks.

For not a whole lot more, get an SL65 AMG. Add say $20K and try to get CPO 7 yr to 100K. That's what I would do. The SL55 is nice but hey the SL65 has 600+ HP and 700 TQ. It's bad a$$. You will have to live with more miles but it won't matter with the CPO. Just my .02.

I'm going to get the ECU tune that'll bump it up to AMG 65 power levels
Either way you go the SL R230 is an awesome ride.

i think the 600 would be the way to go if you want to stay in that price range, but have a little more torque.
I found an 05 Designo with 26K miles and nicely loaded for 74K.

if you are in to the look the 55 looks better than the 600. either way it goes you'll be happy with either car.
the 65 is a beast, rare to see on the street, and will cost a bit more money, but you'll like the power so much that you'll probably sleep in the car because you'll never want to get out of it.
