I finally received my SL550!!
Hey guys,
I suppose I shouldn't be adding a new thread for this, but I'm just excited.
I finally picked up my SL550 yesterday! After 4 months of waiting for it to get shipped to Sweden from Memphis.
Now I will start hammering you with questions again. heh
Here's a few pics, I'll post some better ones once I have had time to detail it!

Thank you!
Yes, it is all OEM, and in extremely good condition for being 7 years old and with 50k miles. This is why I just HAD to have it.
It is a Designo edition and the color is called Mauritius Blue. Unfortunately it was not very sunny when I took the pictures, but it has a lovely pearl-like (almost kandy) appearance in the sun.

Congrats!!! And love the color choices on both the vehicles. Ya that blue is very hard to find. I've never seen one in real life and it is one of my favorites on this vehicle actually.

Thanks guys! I'm extremely happy with it thus far. Obviously the color is not for everyone, but I loooove it.
(The Jeep is also a "special order" color called 'electric lime green', and it was also only available for a couple of years. It has a nice pearl-like shine in the sun as well.)

That is a great find and big congrats!
I absolutely love that blue color. Don't post your address or my wife will try to come steal it! Everything she has is blue too!
Just gorgeous. Enjoy!

LOL! Not a problem at all. I can see an exchange visit coming up soon....you know how the wives love to travel!
My detailer mentioned to me that black is not a color, it is a career!......So she is already telling me to have my car wrapped in satin blue!

Give us an update on how well it runs out after you have some time to really look it over. I think sometime of trading up my '03 to a newer model but it runs very well so I am holding on to it a bit longer. I've never seen a blue one. Really beautiful and so unique. In fact most I've seen so far are silver like mine.
