| Re: Brand new S65 AMG or used highly upgraded S65? All the AMG 65 models lose 40-50% of their value in the first year so what ever your friend does, he should refrain from buying a brand new S65. Buying a 6-12 months old S65 should save him a whole lot of money. |

 | Re: Brand new S65 AMG or used highly upgraded S65? The new one without doubt. The black one looks almost fake...and is very ugly.

| Re: Brand new S65 AMG or used highly upgraded S65? It is a diffy. choise no doubt .. Even for me,.. But I would probably get a used one, maybe done 3-6 000 km. But maybe not that black one, but that just my personal taste. So, as I said = used highly upgraded S65

| Re: Brand new S65 AMG or used highly upgraded S65? Doesn't the warranty become void if the car is modded out like crazy? I would buy an '07 S65 without all of the tasteless crap on that Renntech monster. Well, actually I would buy an S320CDI but something tells me your friend (and you for that matter) would never go for that car! |

| Re: Brand new S65 AMG or used highly upgraded S65? If he likes the black one, that'd be the smarter buy.
