Why buy a SL65? .. I mean it is the 2nd top mercedes of all time (top is the SLR).... but that thing looks like the batmobile. So, the SL65 will set someone back 205k or more... for that price, someone could either- buy a lambo murcielago which isn't limited and looks wild-- moreover, performs better and won't depreciate like the SL65 b/c it looks nearly the same as every other SL. Someone could get a USED Aston Martin Vanquish- hand made (mostly) and more noticeable (though in my opinion it looks like a damn mustang in real life), OR--- a used BENTLEY T (1 of only 2 names in the ultimate luxury list), or a Bentley GT--- sl65 may be faster to 60, but the sl65 doesn't even come close to a GT in luxury or prestige, a Porsche GT2, A ferrari 360 coupe, with money enough to buy an M3 or lesser AMG, a 360 spider (which can't beat the SL65 to anything in a straight line)--- but would rip up the car on the track, and simply looks like the hand of God built it, a 575... I mean, the list continues.

The car is cool and all- but to me, I wouldn't waste my money PURCHASING one. I would lease one for 2 years.. that's about it.
