And his co-opting the term "unicorn" got me wondering...which is actually more common, SL65s or SL450s with ABC?

Perhaps I should have said, unusual as opposed to unicorn. I found it unusual to find an SL 65 which is 7years old with only 2100 miles and in pristine condition. Sorry I brought it.

No...it's very interesting, with such low mileage. A photo or two would have been nice, though.

I'm not sure if the TS just saw it somewhere, and figured he'd tell us about it, or what.

No, Docsout says he bought it. Come on, Doc, get the camera out.

My mistake. Anyway, with my apologies to the OP, this entire thread is utterly meaningless and a complete waste of time. To start out a thread with “2013 SL 65 2,100 miles. Designo interior. How about them apples. BTW, not for sale,” what does it mean?

Non-verbal communication must be fairly precise, or it just doesn't work. I, too, saw "brought" and didn't know what to extrapolate from it...

I saw the car at the dealership awaiting service. I didn' think at the time to snap pics. It was only later, that I thought this would be interesting to the forum. I have reached out to the owner if I could get some pics of the car but, no response. I'm sorry I opened this Pandora's Box. Mea culpa x's 3.
