too many cars
About to pull the trigger on an 03 SL55
Is there anything I should know before I do this? It is an 03 Sl55 with less than 10k miles on it, red leather interior, and it seems like all options, including the panaroma roof. Any input would be greatly appreciated. I believe the link is here....

TIA!

Sounds good! Get ready to have a blast! I've got an O4 and I'm still happy with mine. Just make sure the recalls have been done by a mb dealer. I think since it's intro, there are I believe 2 recalls, nothing major but a pain in the rear to take the time to have them done. Depending on how long ur planning to keep it, get an extended warranty if you plan to have it for a while. I think you could purchase some for 3-4k.

Nice car but a bit high on price. You should be closer to 90k for an 03 with 10k miles.

Great color combo... the only downside is the pano roof. Very difficult to get totally out of the sun w/ it...
