Jan 27th build date..Feb/March Delivery

I've got one last chance to change the color(s). I'm staying with Pewter exterior but thinking of switching from Charcoal interior to Berry. I just missed seeing one at Mission Viejo Mercedes by two hours last week. Anyone with the berry interior who can make a comment or two?

P.S. I saw four (4) SL55's on the back lot last week. They let me see the Jan. delivery list and there were at least six SL55's comming in Feb. not including mine. All marked with fictional names. So anyone in Southern California make your phone calls a.s.a.p. I'm leaving for Maui in the A.M. so I won't be able to respond to this thread after tonight (9:00 p.m. here only about two hours before lights out).

Aloha guys

Have fun in Maui

Used to have rental properties in Kihei. Are you catching the Mercedes Open? Too bad Tiger can't play. By the way I had the berry red interior on my SL500 and was most pleased with it. I think it would go great with the Pewter though I haven't seen it in that combination. In my opinion the Berry Red Interior gives the SL's a more classic look like the original Gullwings.

Staying in Kapalua..Mercedes 3rd year in a row. No Tiger, No David Duval, No David Toms, No Davis Love, what's the world coming to?

Yup..I'm giving major consideration for the berry red interior. I'll be back on the 22nd of January and the build date's Jan 27th so if there's time I'll change the color, if not no big deal. Can't keep second quessing myself.

Aloha again...Airport ride just arrived.

I think Berry Red with Pewter would be a good combination but I'd be surprised if you can change this close to a production date.

Love it. Love it. Love it. I had reservations prior to delivery but wouldn't change now even if it meant money back. By the way, mine is Pewter/Berry. I would change if you can
