2004 SL55
Just got a used 2004 SL55

Hey guys, Im from NJ. I just ended up buying this beauty for 60k. I really dont know if it was a great deal but its been my dream car since 03. I have owned a G55 an 03 for 3 years and then went into a 03 M3 and now this thing. I LOVE IT. I've drivin it only once when I was visiting my friend in Miami, FL. It should be up here next Monday. Here are some dealer pics, I should have pics of my own soon.

Well done! Orion Blue is one of my favorite colors for the SL55.

Enjoy it, and when you start to think it needs some additional kick... I can help!

Have fun and be safe!

WOWOW IS THERE SOME A**HOLES IN FL.I put a 2500 deposit on the car. I was suppose to wire the rest down by friday. I see the car on EBAY then I call up this moron David salaesman. Oh sorry we need you to pay the car first for it to be yours. Yeah no **** what about my deposit will you have to pay for the car in order to be yours. I told these fools that I would wire the money on top of that a deposit doesnt mean anything. So now I have to wait until the auction is over. I was quoted 59,950 it has a buy it now for 62,500. What the hell is wrong with these JERKS DOWN IN MIAMI? WHAT SHOULD I DO

Did you sign a purchase order or some other documentation that showed the $59,950 minus the deposit? As they say, talk is cheap. When I bought mine in AZ last year, the dealership FedEx'ed the purchase order to me and it showed the purchase price minus the $500 deposit I left with my credit card. I had to sign it and FedEx it back. During the time I wired the money and a week after receiving my car, the dealership was still advertising my car on E-bay and on their website. Their explanation to me was that it was strictly for advertising purposes but the car was already sold to me.

Well, it's got ZERO bids on it right now so it looks like you are safe but if they have already agreed to sell it to you for a certain price (and you have an email or other written confirmation) as well as proof of the deposit, then why don't you just ask to talk directly to the sales manager or owner to see what they are going to do to get you your car.... Sounds like you already have a contract no matter WHAT happens on eBay..

Hope it works out, that is the best looking SL55 that I've ever seen.

You'd think the MB dealer could correctly report the interior color as ash, not gray.

edit: The steering wheel has got to go, it looks out of place.

This is the same guy posting on the Black Series forum using a different screen name...wow, what a bored individual. Ironically the stories are almost identical.

Sorry SL guys for barging in, but I had to save his posts before he had a chance to delete them.
