Car is still under a EASY CARE TOTAL CARE bumper to bumper warranty. (e mail for more details) Warranty can be transferred for $50. Warranty Expires May 2012 or up to 65K miles.

FINANCING (aw/ir02vert paraphrased): Due to the nature of the car, there is a very significant factor that will come into play if you are choosing to finance your purchase. At best, with your top-tier credit score, you should be able to get up to 125% financing on the Blue Book Retail value of the STOCK car plus its corresponding tax.

Serious Inquiries only (thatsmr2u paraphrased): No tire kickers or lowballers, or low ball PMs, these replies or emails will be ignored. This is not a car for someone who wants a cheap KBB SL55 AMG. Car is flawless, with EXTREME attention to detail and cleanliness. Any and all worn item were replaced with OEM and car looks almost as good as Showroom NEW. This is the car for someone who wants a show winner SL55 AMG.


FAQ - PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE CONTACTING ME VIA EMAIL.

I have tried to anticipate the most important issues that might come up.

1. Please obtain your own financing if necessary. I will not carry any loans, nor accept credit cards.
2. Out of state buyers must set up their own shipping arrangements. www.uship.com works great.
3. The Price is what it is and if want it slightly cheaper the only way it will happen is if I take off parts
4. The car has a small payoff with Wachovia Bank.
5. I understand this car appeals to a specific demographic and person with liquid finances.
6. I reserve the right to refuse a test drive. Test drives will be accompanied by the seller.
7. Car will be shown by appointment only in
ChicagoIL location. I will not drive out of my way to show it.
8. A $500 Deposit will hold the car for 5 days, after that it is non-refundable. This window is necessary as deposits in past have turned from I need 3 days to I need 3 months to come up with the cash. This epidemic essentially pushes out potential buyers. The rest of the money needs to be wired via ACH, cashier’s check, or cash.
9. Please, no joy riders or daydreamers. SERIOUS buyers only. Pre-approved/cash customers. I want to give my undivided attention to the proper buyer and their questions and do not want to waste time on craiglist style question/offers and demands to non-serious buyers.
10. Do not bother emailing me with offers or anything that refers to KBB.

1st place EURO WEKFEST CHICAGO 2011
1st place Mercedes Another Lever 2011

Sorry to bring this back up but does anyone know if the wheels on Kamils SL55 were 19" or 20"?

Some sites say 19", others say 20", any ideas?

Cheers
