lolz nice car from the link but it said SL500R what is that "R" for?? Im looking for the car that I can trade mine in but hey you have a nice car there

mlandis

Reading the seller's description, it sounds like it's got both sports and P1.

M-bENZ, you may want to pony up for a Carfax 10-car subscription or something if you are really in the market for a car. The $40 is pretty insignificant compared to the car price, and then you can look up other cars (like m4xm1l10n's ) while you're at it.

M-bENZ

ahahahh I know but I cant buy his because im looking for a trade lolz. Ok back the car u said the car got both sprots and P1 but how come the front bumper looks different from the ///AMG bumper...Correct me if im wrong Sport and ///AMG are different right??? and what is the P1 ?? I'm new to SL .

Thanks,

Andy

the bumper from the second car is the bumper off of a 07-08 sl550 non sports/amg model. the bumper from the 1st car is the non sport/amg 03-06 front bumper. m-benz good luck with the SL, but you know its not gonna be know where as fast as our clk500's but the car will look way nicer

mlandis

Yeah... for me the real way to know if it's got the Sport Package is to see if the steering wheel has the Tiptronic paddles on it. No way to really fake that. Too bad the seller doesn't have any interior pics -- which would make me worry -- what's he hiding?

P1 is the premium comfort package -- multicontour ventilated seats, more leather, and I believe that Keyless Go is part of the deal. The "Air-conditioned seats" and "Massage seats" entries tipped me off (although I think the "pulse" feature is a little tame to be called a massage seat...) but I don't see any mention of Keyless Go, which is kinda a bummer -- that is quite nice.

LOL -- reading your sig, just how many cars might beat your clk's?

M-bENZ

U kidding me right ?? The Stock CLK 500 will walk the Stock SL 500 ??

NOP Still the 03-06 front bumper i asked him , and he said he just added the bezel rings on , exactly what I'm gonna do to mine .

m4xm1l10n

How much faster is it really from an SL500 ? now the CLK550 & SL550 IS A MONSTER for a N/A engine .

CLK500 vs SL500 INSIGNIFICANTLY FASTER

CLK500
0 - 60 mph [secs] 5.7
0 - 100 mph [secs] 13.9
1/4 mile [secs at mph] 14.2 at 101.0
Top Speed [mph] 155


SL500
0 - 60 mph [secs] 5.8
0 - 100 mph [secs] 14.7
1/4 mile [secs at mph] 14.5 at 98.4
Top Speed [mph] 155

i have both the clk and the sl, n the sl is now where close to being as fast as the clk, the weight of the SL is substantially more, my clk has a few modifications, but you cn tell a major diff. btw the car. Where did u get the specs from? edmunds state tht the clk goes 0-60 in 6sec, i dnt believe half these sites with spec information on it

omar26

i think those fog light rings look out of place on the 03-06 bumpers, it looks too big on it

YamiFanatic

im glad im not the only one the foglight rings just dont look right

m4xm1l10n

I had a CLK500 , and honestly only difference was off the line , it felt a bit quicker and it should because is lighter , but the difference is very insignificant between the two . Also A CLK500 can easily brake the 6 sec 0-60 , MORE LIKE 5.6-5.8

omar26

It actually threw me off like wth is that, thts y i thought it was the non amg front bumper

m4xm1l10n

you think so too ? WOW So what about on the SL550 ?

omar26

it loks right on the 550(amg bumper)bc the bumper grilles are bigger n wider, i think reg 550 bumper looks ok, but those on a 03-06 bumper takes up too much space. heres some pics for comparison

omar26

+1

it should def. be able to breake the 5.6-5.8, i was jus putting out there how many diff #'s are out there on various sites.

m4xm1l10n

+100 no go for me !!!!

m4xm1l10n

M-bENZ where you from ?

M-bENZ

Yes sir im here from Oklahoma City...you can tell that Carmax is from here lolz. Anyway, another question for ya. ok do we have any front lip out there that fit the NON AMG bumper like the one from that link (Carmax) ??? By the way anyone of u here in OKC ??? I bet no one lol.

Andy

M-bENZ

You going to drop $30K on a car and you trying to save $30?
The money spent on a $tealership inspection report and the Carfax is money well spent.

M-bENZ

huh?

omar26

make sure u pull off the engine cover plate/airbox n check if the valve cover gaskets are leaking, thts the first thing i always look for.
