Im looking to buy a facelift R230. Would I be better to buy a 2009 with 60k on the clock or a 2007 with 40k on the clock?
Thanks

Get the 2009, the 07's had issues with the balance shaft and timing gears on the earliest cars
Mike,(Flexes fingers) Well chaps, it's like this....
Facelift 2006 onwards R230's do NOT have balance shaft and timing gear issues. They're a rare feature of some, but not all, of the V6 3.7 litre R230.
I see no difference between a 2009 and 2007 car with similar mileage, only a 25% (ish) different in purchase price.
I won't duplicate the comments above about the minor risks on an SL500. Those other threads summarise the points quickly. Use the search box in the top right corner of this screen and you'll find them quickly.
