Talking New Guy Here
Hey everyone, just saying "hey" from the new guy. I recently bought an 03 SL500 with 26k miles and I love this car! Well, I will have a lot of questions very soon!

Seems that the 03 SL500 with mid 20K's are available out there. Any guidance on the cost you guys paid? Doesn't have to be exact but more like a "ballpark (within $5K). Also curious if you bought these through dealerships, off lease from 3rd party, etc? Thanks. Shopping around for now...
