I'm getting ready to pull the trigger and buy an 08' sl600. Can somebody help me here. I am questioning the AMG package on a SL600 in 2008. Could you order one like this?

with:

421 AMG SPORT PKG $5,760.00

18" multi-spoke AMG aluminum wheels
high performance tires
AMG front air dam
side skirts & rear apron
AMG leather-trimmed sport steering wheel w/mounted black shift paddles
AMG smoke color tail lamps
silver 6 piston AMG front brake calipers/4 piston rear with vented over-sized cross drilled rotors at all 4 corners
perforated front and rear disc brakes
Air conditioned and heated massage seating ,multi dynamic

020...DESIGNO PACKAGE $7,000


772 AMG BODYWORK

951 .. US SPORTS PACKAGE

Y85..DESIGNO ALACANTARA HEAD LINER

536 ....SIRIUS SATTELITE

889..KEYLESS GO $1,150

731..DESIGNO BURL WALNUT

220....Parktronic Parking Assistant .$1,130.00


415 ...Panorama Roof w/Sunshade...$1,930.00

Power trunk opener and closer ... $675


TPM Tire pressure Monitoring system ...$600

Wheels & Tires have been changed to 20" forged 3 piece alloys and 80% Pirelli Nero's 11 1/2 X 20" REARS WITH TIRES TWO FULL SIZES OVER STOCK $10,000

Does this sound right for $88k?

2008 SL600s can be equipped with the 421 AMG Sport Package, if I'm not mistaken.

That sounds like a great deal for $88,000, IMO. What's the mileage?

Does this happen to be the one you're looking at?

Just to let you know, the AMG badge was either added on by the dealer or the owner of the car. It's not an actual AMG vehicle. AMG packaged vehicles do not = AMG vehicles and do not come with the badge.

Picked it up yesterday. Had to wash it, even though it really didn't need it.

In my driveway!!!

It drives better than my BMW 750IL That I had 10 years ago. But I cruised it between 80-100 all the way from New Orleans to San Antonio, got 18.6 MPG by the gauge (think it is more like 16, and averaged 75 with 4 stops (1 to eat, 2 for gas (really to stretch my legs and put in 9 gals each time) and 1 for a restroom break). 535 miles.

Rides great even with the low profile tires. That ride kit is easily adjustable using the AMG button inside (3 positions).

Gonna get out again today. I'm like a kid at Christmas.
