Congratulations

That's a very nice car; I looked at it myself, but decided to go for a new SL55, which I'm ordering this weekend. This 65 was in great condition, looked brand new inside and out. Where are you located?

You will love the car

I have 27,000 miles on mine and the only reason I would sell it is to buy another. Best everyday driver on the planet!! Happy motoring.

BOB44, are you able to get the designo graphite? My dealer is not aware it is available and it is not listed in the "Build Your Own" section of MBUSA. I love the color but have been unable to order it for my 2007. TwinCam

07 Designo graphite

Twin 3,

I ordered my DG 55 on Saturday. It took some research by my sales guy to confirm that it was available, but it is. No one seems to know why it is not an option on the 'Build your own' website. Per my order, it is Package # 235 - Designo Graphite Edition. It appears to be the same as for 2006, with special designo leather and dark wood. It is my favorite color by far. I have a 2003 pewter SL55 now, can't wait for the new one to get here.

How much is that costing you?
What are the options that come with it, apart from the obvious.
Mileage?
Previous owners reason for selling known?

How is the exhaust sound with the top down I am thinking about a SL65 I had a SL55 and loved the sound of the engine with the top down any thoughts. I am going to get a newer SL55 or SL65 just want to make sure I will not miss the SL55 if I get the SL65. Any thoughts would help.

Congrats on your SL65 very hot ride Tourqe Monster!
