Guess what!....It's back!
For anyone else who would love to become 'Tangled up in Blue', look what was just relisted for sale by MB of WPB. Apparently there was a deposit put down but then the deal didn't close for some reason, so now the car is back up for sale again!....
2017 SL450 Low miles CPO, Brilliant Blue over Porcelain Leather Special Designo Edition with special exterior chrome front end trim and very rare White Piano Lacquer Wood/Leather Steering Wheel with matching trim. Has the AMG (SL65) 10-spoke Forged Wheels and the Driver Assistance Package as well. According to the CarFax, this car has never seen snow, and has only been driven within the State of Florida!
Below is a link to the new listing in case anyone is still interested in this very unique example of the SL Class! I recall that John Dietrich was interested but due to the deposit, he thought the car was sold. Now you have a 2nd chance at it John!

Ha! SO FUNNY you pointed this out -- I saw it listed as "coming soon" a couple of days ago and wondered if it was the same car. But then I would have sworn that the last one had mileage in the 10-11K range -- does anyone on here remember? Logic says it's probably the same car (same dealer, fairly rare Designo Edition, etc.), but I really think the mileage was different on the last one. Anyone? Anyone?
Either way, I'm pleased to report that this afternoon I'm taking delivery on a 2018 SL 450 in Magnetite Black (it's no Brilliant Blue, I'll admit, but it still has the Porcelain/Black Exclusive Nappa interior, which is really my #1 want).
So now I have deleted every car site from my browser favorites so that I don't suddenly see 20 cars that I'd wish I'd bought instead.

Our new convertible is also Magnetite black. Best Black to pick.
Enjoy!

Seems high for a used car, but what do I know.

Beautiful car, but I agree with Hyperion that the price seems a little high. It also not listed as a CPO
I just took delivery of a 2016 SL550 (well optioned) with 25K miles and CPO for three more years (to Sept of 2022)for $65K out the door.
They are beautiful cars

Actually it is listed as a CPO. That is clearly stated in the 'Seller Comments' section of the Listing.

I'd almost be curious for someone (not me) to inquire about the one in Palm Beach -- when I asked about the last one it was "just sold" and I got a helpful email of "our other beautiful cars you might be interested in." (Then it remained on the site for four more days....which I realize is not necessarily suspicious if it took a while to close the deal...but....)
Now, if this one "just sold" too, I'd start to wonder what's going on down there in Palm Beach....
And thanks @Wolfman -- got it home this afternoon and it's really stunning inside and out. Thanks for validating my color choices; you know that once you write the big check, you start to second-guess every decision. :-)
