Looks rather st to me.

The SL65 is probably savage but it's still a Merc with the same boring interior, buy the Aston

Yes, but the MB remaps to close to 700bhp and 1000lb/ft and is literally a bargain!

Then I can save up and get a more modern Aston in the future if I get bored of the AMG

To be honest, the dealer sounded a little shady and haven't got a great rep hence getting Eurocharged to look it over - it's a long shot, but likely the car is a stter.

Owning an Aston is a lifestyle choice.
There is a huge difference between arriving in an Aston or a Merc.
If that Volante checks out its a good deal.

Two very different cars for very different reasons

If you want outright speed then the DB9 is obviously the wrong car for you, the DB9 is completely different

The gorgeous looks of the DB9 are its selling point, the power of the SL its selling point.

I would happily have the DB9 with the lower speed because the look and finish of the car make up for it. I just always wanted an SL65 and they are so rare that I don't want to miss out.

I can always get a DB9, plenty for sale. I think I would have always regretted passing up the SL if it is a good car.

Still waiting on the call back to see whether it's a good one or a lemon though.

I've had a couple of cars from McGurks and I'd happily recommend them without hesitation

Hi Steve.......how's it going? ......hope you and Mad bird are keeping well

Hi Tony, we're well thanks. How're you? I'm still not back in Aston yet . We decided to spend a season skiing instead this year

Gonna start looking again in May. I still visit this part of PH regularly btw but not really had anything to add to the discussions.

Let's be honest Steve, neither has Lotto. Love to the mad one

Hi Vinnie,

I've had both DB9 and a C63 back to back and whilst the Merc was undoubtably quicker, the way the DB9 drives is much much more fulfilling. If anyone tells you a DB9 is slow they're talking out of their arse, in sport mode, using padldle shift, there really aren't that many cars to compare and certainly not at 30something grand.

Hi Steve
Long time.....
Was in chezvegas on the weekend visiting, assuming you are still there
Hope to see you and the better mad half in an Aston soon

Bought my Vantage from McGurks about 4 weeks ago. Read a lot of positive reports on here before travelling down and they were all correct. Good guys, all the cars they have in stock are top notch. No hard sell: we had a chat, agreed a price and 2 days later my grin was complete.

Oh I know they're certainly not slow, 450bhp is respectable even by todays standards.

But compared to a 700bhp SL65 it will be

Steve, chalet looks ste! Now, you be careful skiing, we know what happens when you get adventurous...... . Love to mad bird xx

Chap near me has one of those Mercs don't know if it's the AMG but it sounds like a tractor when he drives past. I expect it's powerful but it sounds ghastly.

I had an SL63 for a short time. Once the tc was switched off it was overpowered for the chassis. I could not imagine that 1000lb/ft would result in useable power? Surely the slush box will get into a terrible state - I cannot imagine that an accounting driven firm like MB would over-engineer components like that?

Wasn't there a tv show where they drove a brabus monstered sl65 and brabus had to tune down the torque or else it would lunch the gearbox?
