2006 SL500
New SL owner here!
After purchasing our GL350 from a Mercedes dealer I told them I would be interested in trading a BMW X5 for an SL500. They had a 2003 at the moment, which I test drove, but it had too many miles and no keyless go, ventilated seats, or vista roof. Two weeks later I get a call and I am told that they traded for a 2006 SL500 with the AMG package, keyless go, vista roof, and the ventilated seats. The car only had 62k miles and was traded in by a local doctor. After working the deal I went up to pick the car up and after seeing that the car needed a few things they lowered the price even more. The car does need a few odds and ends where someone got too close to something, but the maintenance records are impeccable! I apologize in advance if the glass roof is called another name other than vista as I am most likely mistaken, however it's an amazing feature to have!

Good Luck with your new car! The glass roof is referred to as Panoramic Roof, or Pano for short on the forums.
