Default 1st time buyer

Hi All I'm looking at buying an SL 350 2008 onwards, any information on this model ie problems with engine/gearbox etc would be very much appreciated.
Thank's in advance.
Boots.

do you have service records, low mileage and a carfax? maybe a plus on the 350 would be the lack of ABC. don't know if the 350 has SBC, that can be an issue too. there are other problems, like the vacuum pump and vacuum leaks. solid drivetrain. don't expect it to be cheap to own, however I love my 04 sl500. the 350 isn't available here or I might have got one.
