I daily drive my S65 and have never owned a better vehicle. When it's time for a replacement, I can't see buying anything other then a newer S65. I couldn't be happier with mine. That said, an aftermarket warranty is necessary. I've got service slips that pop eyeballs and break credit cards.

 

have a friend, and a few acquaintances that own them...no one really seems to think they're too much for daily drivers

 

daily drive s65 in russia (summer time) and loving it!

 

Have any of you noticed this thread is FIVE YEARS OLD!?!

Didn't read every page, but did the OP end up buying one four or five years ago?

 

I would not suggest buying one. I bought one and sold it after one month. Extremely boring in my opinion and too big.

 

How much did you buy yours for? (and in what year)

Well done sir!

 

you really need a company gas card to be able to gas it up.. we had an s55 needed fuel every 3 days! were talking near to $100 a pop

went to a more thirsty cl63! haha

 

I DD a 2009 S63 and have no complaints. I'm sure the S65 would feel the same for DD purposes....just spending more time at the pump. DD any of these exotics really hits the wallet hard with service and fuel consumption but I don't think any of us on this site are that practical to begin with .
