Thumbs up 2003 Everest Green opinions?

I have a chance to buy a 2003 SL500 everest green with Java and every single option for Sticker!

I am torn on the color... what do you all think?

Just to add a little twist... i am trading a CL55 AMG Kompressor for it.... want a little sun in the south!

take the color?

SL55 AMG
Not surprised the dealer is offering it at MSRP. I don't think I have ever seen an example on this board of the green, are you sure about java, that was a pale brown in the last generation cars, maybe you mean the sand colour.

The dealer is only offering it at MSRP because he thinks no-one will pay over for it and I think he's right. If you really want an SL now for the summer, go for it, but expect heavy depreciation on the car because it will not be a popular colour to sell on...

Keep your CL55K -

1) Its a 500 not a 55 AMG and you have an AMG which is quite exclusive.
2) The color is not nice IMHO.

Smile EVEREST GREEN W/STONE INTERIOR

Thanks for the feedback... I went for the Everest Green and actually the response in LA has been great! Evryone loves the color and says it's nice to see a 500SL that is not Black or Silver
Here is a pic of the wheels. I loved my CL55K but a drop top is way better than 500BHP you can't really use...in this traffic out here. I ordered a 55SL for Aug delivery.
