You can buy a 2008 SL500 for $25K that sold for $120K new and you ask yourself how bad could they be? I've gone on Ebay Motors and seen beautiful SL's, with beautiful interiors and been tempted. I owned a 1992 for 14yrs and damn they are hard to resist......but go to a MB forum and read the negative/nightmare responses. You would thing MB would improve over time. Now back in the early 80's when very little electronics involved, Mercedes were bullet proof, along with Audi's & BMW. Today the market has shifted, just listen to the previous owners for guidance.

I just bought my 2014 GS F Sport, in September of 2014. I am very happy with it, but I suggest you buy the 2015 ++
because then you get more better option...like Lexus Remote which work with your smart, that the only thing I can think of right now because I really like that feature lol.
anyway good luck on your search!

The one I purchased was actually a 2013. Not sure why I thought it was a 2014. Hahaha. Maybe because I was also looking at a 2014 IS.

No need to create a whole new account sir, just post in this thread and Dave will get around to your request soon. He's a busy guy though, so give it some time

Hope this helps,

P.S. - Congrats on your new ride! Please post some pictures when you have a chance

Nice photos sir! Lovin' that Ultra White exterior with the dark rims combined with the brownish Cabernet leather interior. Beautiful.

Thank you for sharing and we hope you enjoy her!

Beautiful car and you can't go wrong. I had my '13 GS F Sport for almost 3 years with no issues. It will keep you entertained!

I took off my front plate to see what kind of damage was done to the bumper






Think touch up paint can fix some of it?

My only advice if you dont mind getting a 2013 model which most likely will be preowned is instead of 2014. I was not happy with it being 8sp transmission which i found is some what hasitant when it shifts. Also i ahve found 2013 does sits lower than the 2014 models.
