A Little Horsepower Anyone?
We just received our first SL55 AMG into our new dealership in Long Beach. The car is Silver with Charcoal interior and the AMG 5-spoke wheels. This is an extra car allocated to us from MBUSA and is open to any serious buyer!! If anyone is interested please e-mail me and we can discuss pricing.

"New dealership?"
Has House of Imports relocated? I always look forward to dropping by when I am in Orange County - though it has been a few years now.

No, the House is still in Buena Park, but the dealership that most people are not aware of was in Long Beach, CA and the owner has spent $15 million on a new location and MBUSA is behind us in the regards of getting us more cars and the cars that are hard to obtain...ie...SL55 AMG's!!!! This place is what a Mercedes Showroom should look like and the service dept. is state of the art as well. We are located in the Signal Hill area on Spring St and Cherry Ave, the next time you are down this way please stop by and check us out, you will not be dissappointed!!!
P.S.
The GM that took House of Imports to the #1 dealer in the country is now at the helm of this store and that is one reason that I decided to make the move. We have only one direction to go and that is UP!!!!!

Any dealer would consider themselves lucky to get one a month, realisticly it is one every two months. We were not scheduled to get a car until later in December, but with MBUSA giving us help we got an extra car given to us.

2006 SL55 with 030 Performance Package
I bet that is a Silver/Charcoal SL55 from the USGP!
My dealer called today and offered me a USGP SL55 , I am going to test drive it tonight. It is Silver with Charcoal Leather and Burl Walnut wood, NO OPTIONS! It also has 1900 miles on it from the USGP event.
I will most likely wait for my custom ordered SL55, I realy like the keyless go, Bi-Xenon lights, and Black Birdseye maple wood.
After I test drive it we will see if I can wait!!

Not in this case, it is a new car with 26 miles on the clock. It is a standard car with Burl Walnut and the Ultra thin 5 spoke AMG wheels in Brilliant Silver/Charcoal two-tone Nappa leather. From what I understand it was going to be one of the VIP cars, but never got assigned to a dealer and then was given to us as a gift for the new dealership.
P.S.
The car is SCARY!!! Once you drive it, you will not be able to wait, trust me on this!!!!!

I just got back from the dealer, All I can say about the SL55 AMG is WOW WOW WOW, this car is fast makes the E55 I had seem like a 4 cylinder.
20 minute test drive and I am in love!!
It is SCARY FAST!!!
I think I am going to wait for my custom order car that is due spring of 2003, but it is very hard to wait for such a fun car to drive. If we had no winters in Cleveland I would have taken the SL55 home tonight even without the options!!
I will post pictures of the car and the engine plate that has the name of the engine builder on it. I think it said (Vos Haug)

Very COOL!! Just has a couple of gentlemen drop by in a Lamborgini to check out the new SL55....funny thing, the car was in a Pewter color and did not draw that much attention. If your going with the Highly Exotic you must stick with Black, Yellow or Red in color!!!!
