Re: Bring a Trailer thread
You know why I'm not buying a 'cheap' SL65 AMG?
Stuff like $1200 coil pack assemblies. The engine has 2. God only knows what I'd need to diagnose and repair that roof...
I've loved that car since it came out. Mercedes ruined it with the latest facelift. I'd buy one of these tomorrow if the thought of doing even minor repairs on it didn't fill me with a cold pit of dread.

I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

I have a complete set of spare coils
. Bought a whole S600 for $1400.

Re: Bring a Trailer thread
But the Mercedes software system to diagnose everything (including a laptop) is around $600.

Bootleg Chinese stuff I'm guessing?

Re: Bring a Trailer thread
Yea. Everyone on the mercedes forums swears by it. You can even get the software to reprogram lots of stuff on the car. I'm not sure anyone has really gotten into engine tuning with it. But, from what I hear, it's basically the same software the Mercedes engineers use to program everything in the car.

Re: Bring a Trailer thread
Hmm. Got some links to that? More for curiosity than anything else. I briefly looked into getting some tools for my in-laws' E320 and E300 and it seemed like the amount of options were pretty confusing and expensive.

It sold for $32,500. That's about right. There was one for sale here locally at a dealer for $20k recently.

It wouldn't surprise me if Hans bought that Spyder. Should be an easy fix.
