Smile Just Ordered My 2013 SL 350

Yes SL 350, they are expensive where I live (High customs duty on luxury cars)! $180K for the SL 350 i just ordered!

Previously had a 2003 SL55 AMG. I loved it but traded it, got married, got kids, to the then new S350 (2006). When i saw the pics of the new SL, i couldn't resist to order (without a test drive, they don't have one yet!)

The SL 350 I ordered has these extras:

- Black On BLack, with Black Ash wood interior.
- Keyless GO Package
- Watch in the middle of console (don't know why i got this but just cause it just looks good).
- Active Parking Assist (Auto parking, have it on my BMW its good for my wife when she drives my car hehe)
- Reverse Camera
- Airscarf
- Garage Link
- Panoramic roof
- Heated seats

Can't wait to get it, delivery mid September, and share the pics!

Congratulations! I basically have the same configuration as you (black/black/black ash) on my 2013 SL550.

I think you are going to love this car. I know I love mine.....

It is amazing to drive. I was quite surprised buy the power it has. I had the previous SL 55 AMG in 2006 and I expected this to be kinda slow but it drives great, it has a lot of power and a nice engine sound too.

Thanks Daytona-flyer.

@jet33jett, I think I will debadge it hehe.

@Pilotmike I love the this colour combination as well, i didn't want to get red cause i thought it would get boring pretty quickly. I love it, especially with the top down!
