And the VMI on this one had a lot of the bigger ticket items addressed before the 33k miles gap. BUT, they will need about a $10k infusion between 60 and 80k miles typically. ABC, coil packs, radiators, deferred maintenace, brakes, etc.November 17th, 2021 at 5:25pm ESTAMGdriver (5) 0@zachmac Admittedly I have not been looking for a 65 November 17th, 2021 at 5:24pm ESTAMGdriver (5) 0@zachmac Even with the lapse in service history?November 17th, 2021 at 5:24pm ESTzachmac (157) 0@AMGdriver then you haven't been car shopping in the last 12 months. Plus MB is making exactly zero more V12s. Unless you buy a Maybach or Pagani.November 17th, 2021 at 5:23pm ESTAMGdriver (5) 1Actually really surprised this didn't sell at that number. November 17th, 2021 at 5:23pm ESTzachmac (157) 0Not surprising. At least $40k plus in current market. I bought my SL65 for $36,500 three years ago and it's all of $50k today.November 17th, 2021 at 5:20pm ESTzachmac (157) 2@thphon I think Fidelity will still write one. And surprisingly sometimes your local credit union. Check with them!November 17th, 2021 at 5:19pm EST$36,500 bid placed by @PGA40November 17th, 2021 at 5:19pm ESTzachmac (157) 0Bid to or a great buy?November 17th, 2021 at 5:19pm ESTthphon (0) 0@zachmac do you know any warranty company for a V12? I gave up looking for one a few years agoNovember 17th, 2021 at 5:17pm ESTzachmac (157) 2Interesting how the "ENDS IN" box changes size based on the numerals being displayed. You'd think it would be a fixed size. But admit it, now that I pointed it out you can't stop watching it. If only I'd thought of that distractor before we got to this bid level!November 17th, 2021 at 5:05pm EST$36,000 bid placed by @Lashes750November 17th, 2021 at 4:48pm ESTzachmac (157) 2I have been without a warranty on my SL65 for three years and am ahead so far $ wise. 64k miles on the odometer. Do anything you can yourself, find a good indy mechanic and the aftermarket suppliers, and stay away from stealerships.November 17th, 2021 at 4:46pm ESTzachmac (157) 1@Apabonds a LOT, IF you can find someone to write one. There are a few but for a 3 year 36k mile you are talking 6 to 8 grand. Most warranty companies won't touch the V12s. Not because they are unreliable, just because they are not cheap to fix.November 17th, 2021 at 4:41pm EST$35,500 bid placed by @ApabondsNovember 17th, 2021 at 4:40pm ESTApabonds (1) 0Wonder what an extended warranty would cost on this car November 17th, 2021 at 4:36pm ESTzachmac (157) 0When a F250 Ford or RAM truck just hasn't got enough torque to satisfy you, get one of these! And then hang on! About as close as you can get to a private Jet without leaving the ground.November 17th, 2021 at 4:28pm ESTzachmac (157) 1An 07 with 20k miles recently sold on BaT for $53k. Be interesting to see where this lands in comparison. One year newer ( plus for the diamond stitch!) but higher miles.November 17th, 2021 at 4:18pm ESTGreenDial (5) 0These have aged so well. They still look very modern and I'd say look better than the newer models honestly. Oh yeah, and it's got the V12!November 17th, 2021 at 3:57pm EST$35,000 bid placed by @Lashes750November 17th, 2021 at 3:40pm ESTzachmac (157) 0Hopefully this auction still has what the car being offered also needs; plenty of room to run!

Any records for service or maintenance in that period?November 15th, 2021 at 11:52am ESTpeter (29) 0...in that the car spent its life in California, this is really a nice one...a great, magnificent, jeweled, engineered beastNovember 12th, 2021 at 8:53pm EST$22,000 bid placed by @butteruup82November 11th, 2021 at 9:55am EST$21,604 bid placed by @dduanee
