dealer gave me sl500 for a loaners car -_- awesome isnt it

Ok I placed an order for an SL65 that is arriving in july like a week or so from now. July 10th is the delivery date, so I went to the dealer to give them my cl65, they took it in and they gave me keys to an SL500 until the sl65 comes in. WOW AWESOME AWESOME

Well I also have another car that I am getting from them arriving the same date. Maybe thats why they gave me an sl500 for a loaners but never the less its AWESOME and the car is a 2004 with only 4400 miles on it!!!!

There's a big difference in performance - the 65 has more than double the power - you're going to be blown away by it...

I'm stunned you think the '04 SL500 is a awesome car after having a '05 CLS55 and a '05 CL65. Heck, I'd even assume the loaner SL feels sluggish compared to your C55 and G55. What is it you like about the car, and why have you not bought a E55 yet?

So you've owned every 55 AMG except the CL55 and SL55 (C55, E55, CLS55, G55, and S55) and owned a CL65? If you bought all these cars from the same dealership they should give you a Bentley and a hand job every time you roll in...!

Gotta love "Happy Endings". That should be part of the dealer prep...their receptionists would then really be earning their keep.

Amazing! And at 20 years old too - you're way ahead of Tiger Woods, Lebron James, and 99.9% of the high paid professional athletes! Though your insurance is probably higher than your car payments. Lucky dog...
