2017 SL550

We’re messaging seats standard and a SL550 for 2017? How could a 2017 have an April 2016 build date?

Not standard, part of the Premium pkg. Car was launched in summer 2016 as a 2017. No point in launching an SL in the fall or winter if you ca help it.

A 2017 is too young to have top issues. Make sure the car has a complete service history. Plugs, transmission service should have been done by now.

The repeated compliments can become a pain, as will the constant riding at the exact same speed as you on the roads and highways in order for them to get a better look at your ride. Catching people taking selfie pictures with your car in the background when you are parked, as well as all the looks when you are at the gas station can be nerve racking.

Keep your head up and hang in there....
