Car is pending sale, PPI was done today, the buyer is flying in this Thursday to finalize the deal.
Here's a pic of me when dropping off the car for PPI

Congratulations on the sale. I was really considering making an offer last week and will likely regret not doing so. New owner is one lucky guy!

Let us know where to find you down the road so we can drool over the new ride.

My SL55 is still for sale, it's back on the market and asking price is $45K OBO.
Unfortunately the deal fell through even after the prospective buyer spent about $1000 total, for PPI and flew to Denver to check out the car (tickets, hotel, parking etc).

He loves the car, the exterior, the interior, the power but he doesn't really like the tranny. He said it's not "crisp" enough, he's comparing the SL55 auto tranny to a single clutch like BMW smg or newer Aston single-clutch (which shouldn't be compared since SL55 has basically an automatic with torque converter). And he's buying the car for mountain driving.

Here's his explanation on my for-sale thread on 6speedonline forum:
