Hello everyone. I just picked up my first MB. I purchased an 03 silver SL55 with 62k on her. All seems to be good with it. For now. Any advice would be great as to what to look for.
Thanks, Joe.

Welcome to MBWorld and grats on the pickup. We had a 04 SL55 shop car before and that was a beast of a car. You'll really enjoy her. Let us know if we can help you out with any aftermarket lighting upgrade. We specialize in euro spec vehicles for brighter and whiter lighting. Nice modern facelift
