Selling my 2005 Silver SL55. 20" HRE's

Well, I am making room in the garage. The SL has around 12K, and has the Carlsson Lowering Module with a 2" drop, and 20" HRE 547R's. I also have the complete Titanium Carbon fiber kit, including the steering wheel.
Putting out the feelers. Not sure what I should ask, or what I should get on trade in with another car. I have 6 cars now, and want to get rid of 4 of them and get 2 new ones.
Anyone looking for one?

love the interior trim. Was that stock or did you do it yourself aftermarket?

It came with the wood trim. I had this added. The steering wheel is real nice. It adds a lot of thickness, so it feels good in the hand.
Retail on the kit was around $4500 with the steering wheel.
I had the dealer install it, which cost me quite a bit more than usual, but I wanted it done right, and my car was in for service.

$4500 for the wheel and the trim pieces is not bad. May I ask where you ordered them from and how many hours MB charged you for installation? That's exactly what I want for my car, the burl walnut is just so not sporty! If you don't feel like talking too much money details, please PM me with more info. Greatly appreciate it.

I got everything from Performance Products. They are in So Cal, so you can just go there and pick up. MB charged me around 3 hours.
The trim is factory quality.

Nice SL55.

Where are you in So Cal ?

FYI:
Looks like you may have the wrong floor mats in it ?
That driver side mat should be locked down and not bunched up
by the throttle ?? Is it buttoned down up at the snaps by the seat
or did it come loose?

Should be worth about $ 80K+ PP sale with 12K miles.
Single owner, clean title.
Finding a cash PP buyer could take awhile.

Yup, wrong mats.
I bought the car preowned, so I am second owner.
I am in Valencia, CA.
It's a shame they go down in value so fast. I may put it on Ebay to see what kind of bites I get. I will also see what the dealer will give me.
I may put the car back to stock, so if anyone is interested in the parts, let me know what you offer.

Well, that depends. I am looking at the LS460 for my wife.
I am undecided on what I will get. I am trying to cut down my Car expenses so I can invest more and get my F40 in a couple years.
There is a reason for my madness, and the F40 is it!

I never drive the SLK. It is my wifes car.
I am actually getting rid of that car as well.
So the cars that are going are the SL55, SLK55, M5, and Z06.
I may keep one car, but not sure yet. I will see what the dealer tells me.

Good choice on the LS and obviously the SL > SLK
