SL55 Production number??
Hi,
i just bought an 04' SL55 AMG and was wondering the uniqueness and exclusiveness of this car. Is there a way to find how many SL55's produced for the 2004 model year? and with colour options and such? Also if its possible to find the build number say,# 124 of 2323 ???
thanks

They can be found for all AMG`s on the AMG Private Lounge Website.
These are US delivered units. They dont release world wide numbers.

What are the Production numbers for 2003?
I was wondering if the 1st year 2003 had as large a production as 2004.
I also think that 5,200 cars (US only) for only one year (2004) is a huge number for an exotic car.
A production of 5,200 cars is probably higher then all of the Vipers, Ferraris, and Lambos combined that were built in 2004.
I thought the SL55 was rare and exclusive but with over 10,000 cars just in the US that aint the case. At least spare parts will be around in the future

I agree,
I'm a little discouraged...I love my car to death but i thought there was more exclusiveness to it than persons above average pocketbook lol, it also discourages me that a Ford Mustang Cobra has every little detail documented production numbers by date, colour and model (vert or non) and the build number...and on top of that they even get a plaqueable document with their name on it certifing they are the owner, although i think its for the owners association...

As far as comparing a SL55 to a Mustang.
Thats a mistake on this board and especially here on the AMG R230 area. The Mustang is and will always be just a FORD POS.
The one my Ex had was just a disaster. It did not last even 60K miles
when everything just started falling apart. Who cares about the stinking paperwork. I want a car I can drive and enjoy. Not Fix or Repair Daily.

I am happy with only 1500 or so cars of my build.

04 sl55 would probably go for around 60 - 70K nowadays. If your going for exclusivity, one probably needs to spend upwards in the 150 - 200K+ range. Such as a ford GT, if you were lucky enough to buy one at msrp. I love my 04. Have had it now for almost 4 years and still love driving it. I would'nt consider it quite a "collectible" but then again, Its hard for me to sell anyone I've bought. I Should have bought that damn GT! Haha!
