WTB: 2003 SL500. Does anyone have one or know of a place I can buy one?

Im located in California but if the price is right Im all for it and willing to ship the car here. Cash on hand and ready to make a deal. If anyone even knows where I can get one at a reasonable price that would be great.

Thanks,
Johnny

Thanks for the post. Ive been looking on all three places you just mentioned everyday and cant seem to find anyone selling it at a reasonable price. Theres dealers posting pricings and as soon as you call them "Oh that car has just been sold but we have an identical one that is higher in price". Thanks though I guess Ill just have to keep searching.

All these dealers or privates selling there cars are asking way to much for them. Its harder than you think it is. Some of the prices people are throwing at me Im better off picking up an 2004. The demand here is getting higher so you know what that means....higher pricings.

Im open but not willing to pay $60+ for a basic model with no options. Why do you have one?

If you are in California. Just go down the dealer and buy it. They should be around $60k for a 2003 SL-500.............
