Early Delivery!!!

Wow, this is great. Our dealership called on Friday and said our 2003 SL500 will be ready for delivery on Monday or Tuesday. It was scheduled for a September 1st delivery date originally...guess it came earlier or something.

Here's the options and colors

Pewter exterior
Charcoal interior
Keyless Go
Xenons
Panoramic roof
Parktronic
Ventilated seats

I'll post some pics then!

Thumbs up

Congratulations -- I got the exact same car delivered to me in April of this year. Love it -- have put on 9100 miles on it already <grin>.

Enjoy and take care.

Can you email or post a pic of your pewter color SL. My dealer has one coming with stone interior and I want to see what it looks before I make a purchasing decision

Your new SL is quite beautiful, and you lucked out with the '04 rims!

Interesting that you get plates so fast in Illinois. It takes sometimes a few months here in CA.

Bought a C320 at end of June, and we still don't have plates. They came within 3 weeks for my SL500.

Also, like your house. We don't have many with brick here or with the mansard style roof as yours.

Don't take it out in the snow. You need to get what we used to call a "beater" in Boston for the winter months.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I ordered the same color and equipment but in an SL55. The cut off for changes was 8/6 with expected delivery 9/15. They could not tell me what the changes would be for a 2004, except that the side rear view mirrors may fold.

Would it be to much trouble to post a picture with the Panoramic roof up?
It would be most appreciated.
