Is a Mercedes benz SL550 a good used car to get?

I'm looking to replace my current ford focus with a 2015 Mercedes Benz SL550. The car only has 7,000 miles on it and I'm wondering if this would be a good car to drive year round. I live in Chicago so I don't think I will have a lot of problems in winter conditions. Also I'm 25 years old and I think I would look good in this car.

The only way to know if any vehicle is "good" as you put it, is to have a mechanic do a complete inspection before purchase… That $ 100 or so may prevent you from buying a junker

Uu

The only person who cares what you LOOK like in a car is YOU (and maybe your mommy).

How do you think you'd look in a repair shop?

My experience with top end Mercedes is that they cost more to repair than they are actually worth. Buy it, enjoy it for a few years, then dump it when the warranty ends. Of course, you'll take a massive hit due to the depreciation of the car over the next couple of years.

If you are made of money, just buy a brand new one every 3 years.

Not made of money?

I would look good in a Saleen S7, but buying one would be stupid. (Get the message?)

  • Which car brand is better, Acura or Mercedes-Benz? My mom is wondering what kind of car would be good to replace her Mercury Grand Marquis. She was considering the Lincoln MKS but after we heard it wasn't that great of a car (and all our Ford products have been unreliable) so my mom is considering either an Acura RLX or Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Looking at used ones, they're about the same price, but we might be able to get a better deal on the Acura. Which car would you get?
  • Should I buy a 1992 mercedes benz 300e or a 1999 ford crown victoria? So my options are a 1992 mercedes benz 300e for $600 or a 1999 ford crown victoria $500. They are both in similar condition although the mercedes has 190,000 miles and the crown vic has 250,000. They would both cost the same for me to insure I prefer a mercedes to a ford but the for also has automanuel transmission which I like more than just automatic with the benz
  • 2015 Mustang GT or 2015 Mercedes C300? I will be getting a car soon, and I'm debating on which car I should get. A 2015 Ford Mustang GT Premium, or a 2015 Mercedes C300? NOTE: I will be tuning the car that I buy with aftermarket parts. I'm not sure, could you guys help me out? I'm also debating if I should use aftermarket parts on a Mercedes, which is brand new. (I will be turning 16 soon!)
  • 2015 Mustang GT or 2015 Mercedes C300? - 1 I will be getting a car for my 16th birthday, and I'm debating on which car I should buy. A 2015 Ford Mustang GT Premium, or a 2015 Mercedes C300? I'm aware that the two cars are in two completely different categories. NOTE: I'll be adding aftermarket parts to the vehicle I purchase.
