S65 AMG, what a baby

One hell of a deal for that low mileage, is'nt it guys. Anyone know anything about the vehicle? Carfax shows 21 records but for that low mileage who cares about the maintenance history.

Anyone in that area that could take a look at this car for me? Looks to be in Miami, and who knows maybe it was some rich guys car who never drove it, and thus the miles.

the miles look faked, given the condition of the interior that is worn. watch for paint work... Run away from this deal.

Those miles on cheap cars usually mean one of two thing on Autotrader: Scammer, or Salvaged.

W220 S65 (or S600 for that matter) would be suuch a massively great highway cruiser. Damn.

make sure it doesn't need brakes before you buy it - my shop said the replacement for the SL65 is close to 3K for brakes/rotors - car may be a bargain but maint will kill you coming from an S4.

who me? i wouldnt want that ride the OP posted. im hunting an '05-06 e55 or c63 but yes, brakes are pricey on these. like anything else though, it appears you can DIY for a reasonable price. Ive put 5 sets of brakes on my audi so im used to it! thanks for the heads up!

I would add a third thing...Lemon Law buyback cars. Most of the buyback cars have sat at the dealership for weeks at a time trying to resolve a problem(or problems) multiple times. That can drastically limit the amount of mileage on a car.
