What should I know about '01 SL 500
I really love the '01 SL 500 and would like to make my purchase within the next few months. I am amazed at the amount of great info contained on this site. Can anyone comment on what I should be aware of when shopping for this toy, such as price neg., dealer vs. private, MB warranty, and any other info which could help me in my pusuit of this vehicle. Are there any links which you could reccommend?

I appreciate all your help and assistance.
