Newb with '05 SL500 with pix
Howdy, just picked up this 2005 with 14,327 miles on it. It is as new, no dents, scratches, etc. I looked at a lot of SL's including many 06 and '07's and picked this one for it's condition. Service history is documented and clean.

It replaces my Viper as a weekend fun car. So far I have been very impressed with the SL. Bought a 3 yr 36k mile warranty which will be fine for me as I only put about 7k miles a year on the weekenders and normally don't keep them longer than 2 years.

Been reading manay posts and they have already helped me out with questions

Here are a couple of pic's took down the road from me.

Beautiful car, especially the color. Don't see them in sand/gold that often, just spectacular. Good thing the top was up, looks like rain...

Thank you, the camera is a Nikon D70S with the Nikor lense that came with it. I shoot using the aperture mode.
