SL55 AMG Renntech upgrades

Need to sell my 2003 SL55 AMG.
This was my first super car and I'd love to keep it but I have turned to racing motorcycles and my family insists that I make more room in the garage. This car is fully Renntech modified with upgrades in the intake, exhaust, intercooler pump and brakes. It is truly one of a kind. Hartmut Feyhl, owner of Renntech and AMG engineer test drove it himself on the Palmbeach International Speedway last year for a test drive after he finished further modifications. It measured over 600 bhp on the dyno. TECHNICAR has fully upgraded the electroics with a top-of-the-line Kenwood Sirius radio kit/AM/FM/CD/DVD/built in bluetooth/Garmin navigation system and installed an iPod cable and a high resolution rear camera. It has state-of-the-art built-in K40 radar detector and Blinder laser detection with laser diffusers. And you'll need it because this car is FAST. It's also incredibly luxurious and fun to drive. It has keyless go and you can drive it as an automatic or manually shift with the paddles. The deep growl of the engine and it's incredible acceleration will make you smile every time you drive it. I've taken excellent care of this car--it's in amazingly great condition, inside and out.
This is a beautifully upgraded, superfast, lady driven 2003 SL55 AMG.
A very very special car. myplanb@juno.com

You are right. She also drives a Supercharged Lotus, a Yamaha crotch rocket and a Ducatti. She is not tyical at all. This car has 54k miles and is asking $59.895. Not for the faint of heart.

That's what I was thinking. Mine seems way under priced at $42k if he can get anywhere close to that!

Uh,

You can buy nice 03's....I'm sure not this nice... in the middle high 20's. I'm beginning to wonder if this forum is just a place for folks to talk about their car, not really sell it. But hey, to each his own, good luck in your quest.

Ducati. Learn to represent the brand name if you're sporting it.

And it's a sport bike, not a crotch rocket.

Jesus... Winner right here.
