New member hello!
Hey all. I said hi in the new member forum but wanted to intro myself here as well. Just picked up my first MB droptop, a 2005 SL600. Black/Charcoal, 21k miles, AMG sport pkg, KeylessGo, Pano Sunroof. Car was IMMACULATELY kept, every piece of wood looked brand new, only issues were trunk supports (which I replaced in 5 min for $40), the black plastic panels to the left and right of rear window (ordered the pieces for about $150, gonna have the dealer do that when I have the state inspection done) and only one key ($500 at the dealer, YIKES!). PICS below!
Background on me. Live in RI, USA. This is actually the 39th car I've bought in the last 20 years. I'm normally a Porsche guy but my fiancé told me if I wanted to buy a car before our wedding next year it had to be under a certain amount of money, a convertible that she signed off on and that could fit two sets of golf clubs in it. I joked about if I had to fit her in at the same time as the clubs, and when I woke up from the short coma I was in after the beating we settled on this. I know I could've gone with the V8 version but come on, why wouldn't I do the V12?!?! https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...2787f76792.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...de045b83e2.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...6360f3864b.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...b796cc47e9.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...2e3214345e.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...18c6a12adf.jpg https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...510a194ffd.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...b11f859f9a.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...6ac6751e7f.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...9ac50a5286.jpg https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...0643ac07d6.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mbw...a0a80d8a6c.jpg |

Thanks! Do you use a local indy? Looking for a MB indy myself now.
Revolution is very good, provides loaners (C class sedans}, great communication. Larin is a bit bigger, also sells cars and provides performance services. The mechanics work late hours on their track cars, which I dig. Both shops charge approx $575 for an ABC flush and filter change. I did did just get the name and number of a mechanic in RI from a friend. Let try to find where I put that and I’ll add it here. |

I think you are going to love it. It is identical to my 05 sl600 less about 70,000 miles. I really enjoyed owning that car (except for the depreciation which you have already beat). Enjoy!
