Purchased SL63 AMG
Hi everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. I just recently got a 2022 SL63 AMG (got it with around 500 miles so snagged a killer deal). Had a 911 GTS Cabrio on order with delivery for August, but after Porsche's recent price increase + dealer tacking on some extra costs, I didn't feel the car was worth the nearly $215k asking price (creeping into Turbo territory). I sat in this SL for the very first time last week and immediately fell in love. It was to me much more visually striking than a 911, the interior is miles better, and the V8 sounds infinitely better than the GTS's 6. Plus, I see quite a few 911s but rarely a new SL. I'll never track it, so the top line performance didn't really matter to me very much.
I had the car covered in XPEL Stealth PPF for added protection and have also had well over a dozen people on the road pull down their windows and ask about/compliment the car, which is always a nice bonus! Currently debating whether to re-badge the car (maybe just the side badges).
She'll be a good addition to the daily driver X7.

Welcome.
Great color choice and I love the matte PPF.
By chance, did you test drive an SL55?
I have always been a dedicated 911 driver and switched to the SL almost 2 months ago.
I love it, absolutely no regrets, although I did get the SL55 Performance trim because I just couldn’t justify the additional $35k for the 63. To me, the only noticeable difference was above 80mph where the extra hp was noticeable.
