WTB: 05-08 SL65 - black ext /graphite int

That's right, after a very long time of indecision, I'm finally biting the bullet, throwing all logic and reasoning in the trash, and going to get an SL65.

Here's what I'm looking for:

Important needs:
- 2005-2008 model years
- Black exterior
- Graphite interior (I prefer the single tone graphite/graphite interior, but it looks like these are very rare to find as most of the 05-06's seem to have the two tone graphite/gray interior)
- Mostly stock, minimal mods
- Clean title/carfax/autocheck/no accidents
- A great price!

Less important wants (pros):
- Relative "high" mileage is ok!
- Maintenance records, but specifically referring to ABC and coil packs
- Pano roof
- Parktronic
- Carbon fiber interior trim
- 07-08 tail light/spoiler/bumper/interior upgrades

Potential problems (cons):
- Non stock items, like missing stock graphite 19" wheels
- Radical changes to the car
- Accidents and non-clear titles

I'm located in Georgia, so something on the east coast or middle of the country would be great. I'd love to be able to drive it home and not deal with closed transport shipping carriers. Most of the cars I've been looking at are in California ... a TON of them. You guys in Cali must really love your SL's!

I will be financing this car, I am not a cash buyer. For some reason some people have issues with this . I am willing to wait for the right car at the right time with the right price. I keep Autotrader, Cars.com, and Ebay in my bookmarks and check out new cars as they post. Feel free to PM me if you have something you're interested in selling...
