I found my Unicorn and other ABC opportunities

After taking all the input on this forum (Thank you everyone) i found my jam-
Never titled, 3k miles Mercedes made a few of these for Sales Reps and demos to dealers.
COMPLETELY loaded with ABC,B&O, Magic sky, etc..

They took 40k off Drive out price $ 89,000 - only negative only 30 months of warranty left but thats OK
Didnt really want the matte paint but putting Xpel on her get her to Texas anyway so will be protected
I do love the black interior and so cant wait to get it in the garage. SOLD!

Here is another unicorn for those who have been looking- just came across this the other day- at the end of the day I wanted the V8 but this is awesome- he was giving me 11% off
but that doesnt compare to the depreciation deduct on the 550 but very nice none the less:
Your welcome for this one- SL 450 with ABC and Magic sky!

And this is the one that I really wanted but just couldn't connect- Wanted Selenite Gray and it has a white interior and HAS ABC - her name is Sherri and not sure that she has sold this or not

Wow! What an avantgarde spec! The PPF and Xpel is an absolute must.

If you are interested in a bit of personalization, powder coating the rims black and adding a black rear lip spoiler would look great.

I will drive it for a while and see abut what kind of wheels will get- not sure I want it to go too dark but will see.

That said i believe that every SL looks better with the smaller rear lip- it "levels" out the rear as it turns down at the rear and any lip masks this up.
And even though i dont want it to be too "dark" a carbon fiber rear spoiler will be going on immediately- would rather a matte gray Selenite Designo matched one but not sure anyone can paint that correctly?

In Texas whee I live between Austin and San Antonio everything is under construction and it is rock and gravel trucks 24/7 so no matter what color I got Xpel (Double layer) on the front bumper and the hood is a must. But will do the entire car also- about 5k

A carbon SL63 spoiler would work too! But then you'd have to have a matching SL63 grille...
