Hi Otterbenz, did you really drop it to $17k? That is an amazing deal. I may have someone interested.

Yes, I just need to let her go to someone that will enjoy/appreciate the car. I have too many cars and it's just not being driven.

I need to get over there and check the fluids, etc, including for the power top.

I just haven't had the time to give her attention.

It's a beautiful car and ran great the last time I drove it but it's been a while.

I may also be selling a Viper ACR, but that's big bucks.

I have NO interest in BS or any trades, etc.

Please PM me to discuss any interest.

Thank you!

I will be checking the fluids, including for the power top, as it wasn't working a while back.

I don't expect many/any things to be done I this.

I want it to go to someone who understands/appreciates what this car is and what it can do.

So, I'd prefer a Forum member, but will soon put it on a local for sale.

If/when I do, I expect immediate interest as I often had locals ask me if I'd ever be willing to sell.

However, at this price level - I do NOT want this to go to anyone that can't/shouldn't be driving a car like this.

This is Forum Members ONLY price!

It is one of the best in the country IMHO.

If I do put it out local, I'd likely increase the price.

Any suggestions?

It now has a flat bottom AMG steering wheel and an upgraded stereo with new speakers behind the seats as well as custom alcantara center console lid and shift boot.

It had the infamous glitch in the shifter not working.

Replaced the shifter but the "manual" on the shifter is no longer available, but shifter paddles do work.

This car is scary using the paddles and NOT for inexperienced drivers.

The top is now wrapped in matte black. Looks good but can be removed.

No changes to dash were made for the new stereo - just needed to be updated.to what is now available. Sounds MUCH better

Otterbenz,
If the timing was better,I would have jumped at this car of yours.
At the time you first posted I was driving a SLK 320, so I love the hard top convertible design.
I ended up in a SL 63, and I can’t say I am disappointed.
But if I hadn’t made that purchase, or if I knew about yours earlier, it would have been on like donkey Kong.
