Took the plunge: 05 SL600 Designo
Just wanted to say thanks to all of those who counseled me on my desire to acquire a new SL600.
After waiting for a black/tan and working with three dealers (and a couple of very understanding people on this board), I found (quite by accident) an 05 SL600 Graphite Gray SL600 with black Nappa, panorama roof, etc. Since I had never seen this color before, I jumped on it.
The car came home with us today...it is spectacular and is everything you've said it would be. Thanks again to those who've counseled us...
I can't wait till break in is over and I can get on it. Stay tuned for Wald body kit, Renntech tuning, HRE wheels and a MagnaFlow exhaust.

Congrats. Please post pics of the new ride when you get a chance. I haven't seen that Designo package so I'd love to see the photos.
