Now retired I found I have way too many exotics to enjoy and some need to go including my SL600. I am very meticulous about all my cars, so you can be sure it is nice. I suggest coming to take a look (Irvine CA). Beautiful car, especially the pewter color. Some info below. Email is ciao4u2@aol.com if you have questions or want more photos. Like ebay, no set price, but you can send over a tentative offer if you like and we see where we go from there. Additional info:

2004 SL600 "Sport model": keyless go, RENNtech ECU upgrade, RENNtech lowering kit (3 height adjustments), rare pewter color.
Purchased 9/3/11 with 46,378 mi and now 54,300 mi. Updates since ownership listed below.

Beautiful car! In before the badge comments come rolling in...GLWS!

Jan T

Thanks, yes the car overall is very nice and super quick. I drove it yesterday for some video, and I can't believe I am considering selling, but life is what it is. Ha ha, yes the badges. Car came like that when I bought it, and for me I like it. I like well done exceptionally modified cars rather than stock, so this was small stuff for me. Since it is a Sport model, AMG badge wasn't too oddball rather than the regular SL600. Probably RENNtech & SL600 badge would be more accurate, something for the next owner to monkey with if they like. Easy fix to bring back to stock, not like a purist that may want to bring back to stock a chopped up black series kit car, which would take some effort.

I have to learn to read - I skipped to the bottom and saw $11,408 and thought that was the asking price - lol. GLWS, she's beautiful.

Ha ha, I just fixed that with edit

awesome car! did I miss the asking price?

Jan T

If you like it just shoot over a tentative offer of what you would be willing to pay and we see where we go from there, kind of like eBay where you would not know the asking price. The price in my mind changes daily, for instance if I just finished driving it I usually want to keep it.

I would like to start the bidding at $6000 but im not sure where the "place bid" button is can someone help me find it please.....

Jan T

Easy peasy.

GLWS - beautiful car - how are the brakes? I know the new owner won't want that bill -

Jan T

Brakes are excellent. Put my iPhone to use to look at the pads the other day. I also saw in service records that all rotors and pads were replaced by the prior owner.

I would definitely keep this car and drive it till the wheels fall off
Car is gorgeous, but don't think you will get the $$ you expect for it...

Jan T

Yes, the depreciation on these are crazy and excellent bang for the buck for someone to get in. I am in no hurry, so just looking to see what offers may come in; or like you say I will just keep it and continue my occasional topless beach cruises because that is a hell of a lot of fun as well. I think these cars have more than the public realizes: nice style, hard top that folds down to topless easily, beautiful high quality leather interior, and RENNtech...I swear it is faster than my LP640. Only down side from my perspective with these may be that it is automatic, and of course upkeep. But I consider it along the lines of a high performance exotic and so upkeep is expected. But the automatic served me well when I was working and traveling occasionally with it on the 5 & 405 in stop & go traffic not having to work a clutch.

If I don't sell it in a few months I may even let the wife drive it to her knitting classes I am very particular about my cars and how people get in and out of the seat/bolsters, how they approach high driveways/dips or those big old cement parking stoppers, etc. Can't deprive the wife for ever, ha ha, but she loves driving her immaculate but slow 85 300D (true turtle compared to this, so would take some getting used to for her).
