Thanks, actually it kind of fell in my lap, my buddy was trying to sell it, cause he bought an sl65, so he called me, and told me so, I thought about it for a day, then told him that I wanted it, I was it that day.

What Happened to the Radar Detector?

I thought you had a radar detector . . . what happened?

Also, since I live in the Sacramento area, I was wondering where did you get stopped? How fast were you actually going?

Congrats. So, now you have an S55 and an SL55 and friends with S65 and SL65. How about an objective comparison. I would like any one of them and would like to know how they compare.

On another not, and news on your other situation?

the SL is a total different ball game, you feel the power, a lot more, and the handeling is just awsome.

Looks like light reflecting off one of the mirrors shinning onto the seat. I took the same picture at night of my Volvo when I bought it, made it look like my passenger seat was torn.

Notice seat has (2) rips on it, (1) very front of seat (2nd) in the middle w/notable sagging, & staining like it was submerged in water everywhere.. I'd check carfax if I was the buyer on this purchase.

Nice car get rid of those cheap plastic floor mats, I love your car dude! You can go to an upholstery shop and get your seat fixed if it is indeed ripped.

It really matters less....if OP has a rip or not he mentioned he got a great deal on it so if it is ripped then he can have a shop repair it...right?

That might be because your car has different seats. I dont see a rip i see a reflection of light on the passenger seat. It is to geometrical to be a rip.

I have the same exact combo on my SL55 and its extremely difficult to keep ash leather clean if you get near driving it on a daily basis. I rarely use it more than a day or two a week and it still gets dirty every month.

I think an afternoon with interior cleaner and then a week of work with leatehrique will make the interior look like new again.

If its totally stained, a new seat leather from the factory is about 1.5k. Not the end of the world.

There are no rips on any of the seats, the mats are dirty. that's wht I got those clear ones, untill the ones I ordered come in the mail, the car is actually in great condition besides the carpet being dirty, but going to detail this weekend.
