W211 E63 AMG White on Black, Pano Roof - P2 - Parktronic, Airmatic, Keyless Go - FOR SALE
New to me

Just took delivery of my new-to-me SL550. It has everything (that I know of) except magic sky. I had them add the spoiler at the dealer before shipping. I'm coming out of a W211 E63, which I haven't put up for sale yet. This is my first SL. I'm excited.

Congrats! I'm new to the SL also but not to the Mercedes cars themselves and I really love mine.
Classic MB silver / black looks great. My old CLK500 was that color combo.

Enjoy!

No more MB:(
Congratulations. I purchased my first SL in 2013 and replaced it with a 2015 which I plan on keeping. I just wished I had discovered this model long time ago, it offers so much to the driver. Classic color package by the way!

Fantastic car! You will love and enjoy it. I just got a 2019 SL550 a couple of weeks ago and It's beautiful. The SLs are incredible, this is my 3rd SL going back 21 years.
