Anyone need a silver SL65 in NJ?

Sadly, my uncle is selling his silver/charcoal 2005 SL65 AMG. The car is in New Jersey and has about 6200 miles on it. Fully loaded, of course (not that there are that many options).

If anyone is interested or has questions, let me know. It needs a good home.

(Yes, that's my foot in the pic. You like? )

Asking price: $135K

Also, forgot to mention that my uncle did take care of the engine. Wouldn't drive it before it was fully warmed up (temp gauge at midpoint), etc.

Good luck, I have my Silver Arrow SL65 on cars.com and ebay and although I get a ton of emails no one is stepping up and my car is MINT as well and is listed at 129k. Its a crime that MBUSA lets dealers drop outgoing year models 40k to screw over everyones resale. My car stickered for 196,350.00 and now I am at 129. The car is awesome but that hit is BS.

Thanks for the info. Yeah, it sounds like the dealer claimed when he sold the car that it maintained its value because it was so rare. When it came time to trade it in, the dealer wouldn't even buy it, of course, but offered to list it on ebay for a ridiculous fee.

I was reading Dante's Inferno the other day, and trying to figure out which circle of hell car dealers go to when they die. This is why I only buy new German cars using a consultant.

dealers in hell...

why must they first die to go to hell? of course, that's a rhetorical question, but i sure wish for a way to give them a taste of what's to come. maybe then they'd at least consider changing their ways.

You mean the 45-degree map perspective? Bird's-eye view is available from a setting. (Forget which one, but was easy to find.)

It was basically a special launch edition that had carbon fiber interior, a nicer all black leather with more detailed stitching and a brighter silver exterior paint and 50th anninversary leather trimmed mats. They all came one way with the same options and price. The interior is really what sold me.

Hmm...I think this one is Silver Arrow...but how does one confirm that?
Is there a non-Silver-Arrow silver color?

yes they do sell a "normal" silver on the SL65's...and from the looks of the wood trim, I'd say it's not a SilverArrow Edition, but still a BEAST of a car...where in NJ is the uncle seems like a nice area

Is that an option for only the SL65's? Not sure if my E55 has the birds eye option.

Could you show us the ebay or cars.com link I would love to see some pics of the Silver Arrow Edition. I love when Mercedes does special editions like the CLS55 AMG IWC Ingenuier.
