New to SL550 R230

Just want to share with everyone here. Bought 2009 SL550 last Friday with 86K miles. I think I paid a bit high but so far I love this car.
It's comfort, not as aggressive as my E55 but enjoy the cruising !
It has designo package, parking sensors, KeylessGo...

Lovely car!
Would it be tacky to ask how much?

That the one from Ideal Motors in SGV area? I'm in Whittier, not far from you. I think I test drove that one a few weeks ago, if it's the one I'm thinking about. I like it, can't remember now why I passed. I do love the interior colors though! Congrats!!

Congrats! Love the interior on it. So rich. I know I paid a bit high on mine as well and it was the only car that I bought on the first time I went to see the car (usually always go back a second time lol), but it was so worth it. Enjoy.

Very nice colors. You’ll love the quality of the Designo leathers. Like iron but warmly comforting in appearance and feel.

Yup ! that's the one. So far so good... the brake not as sharp as my E55 but will take to my shop for total check up.

I tried to avoid 07/08 550 engine since more issues. I test drove few 05-06 SL500 most of them are very beat up. Some even with crazy clue in the window switch.
I was tired of research so went for this one and plan to keep it for a while.
