It is hard to have too much to say when there are not many of us who have this model car yet..... :-(

Beautiful car! Adhorable little girl! :-)

My local dealer had one as well. The salesman said they were having trouble selling it though. Not sure if it was because of the price or the color combination......

it is money indeed....very nice, and very comfortable, even the color does not bother me...and the headlamps are actually
pretty impressive in person....very future like, they seem similar to the upcoming CLA class lights that I'm also interested in....

this is a very nice car(to those who have it)

haha, that's my little one, she loves crawling all over the cars with me

think it's the price that's driving away buyers... I got a Maserati GT MC instead... SL beats on the interior and electronics (Maserati does not even have keyless go... sunvisor is crappy quality... instrument looks like 2004... ) but the Maserati beats on looks and the engine sound... oh that engine sound is heavenly...

How much did you get the Maserati for? I thought MSRP is $135K.

I got the GT MC, sticker was 150k, got it for 140k, if I got anything other than white, could have gotten another 5k off. It's cheaper than the SL63. If you get the GTS, sticker around 135, you can get at least 15k off, most are getting 20k off, so that's comparable to the regular SL550. If you are looking for a convertible, I'd go with the SL. If you are looking for a cool 2 door coupe, given the price diff between the SL63 and Maserati GT MC (160k? vs. 140k.)... The GTMC made sense for me... plus, I am keeping my 04 SL500, still looks gorgeous after all these years... and, I think it still looks better than the new SL (non AMG)

Hm... That's an interesting idea. Been wanting to trade the 2003 SL for the new model but can't get past the front end. Have not wanted anything but an SL, well maybe an Aston Martin but its a little over the budget. The Maserati on the other hand seems like a reasonable alternative and I can just keep the SL like you did. Thanks for the option idea!
