Don't know where you're located, but by California standards for time of year that's about an average deal for non-certified (which from your dealer plate, I'm guess is the case) but a good deal for a certified. Have you double-checked your warranty date with MB? Many 2005s were first titled in 2004 which would lead me to believe your warranty runs out next year some time. In any case, you may want to slap a Starmark extended limited warranty (@3K) or so, as the last thing you want to do is drive an unwarranteed SL.

Happy with Deal
I'm very happy with the deal I got. When comparing prices accross the country, not too many SL's out there, in MINT condition, that are selling for 60,000 with only 14,000 miles, California or anywhere else. The warranty is good for 2 more years, and by then I'll be into another toy.
Also, I got an extra 2 grand from them on the trade of my 02 Boxster, which was yellow. Good luck to them selling that in the winter
