JUST BOUGHT AN SL55

Hi guys, I've been lurking on your forum for a few months trying to figure out what I wanted to drive this summer. It was between an SL55, CLS55, and a ZO6. I stopped by a Benz dealership today right after buying my GF's son an Audi S5 and saw this SL out front. It's a graphite designo, pano, cool seats, xenon, park assist, keyless go bad boy with oem 19" SL65 rims. After a very fast and smoky test drive I couldn't resist... what a car! I'm picking it up Monday night. What do you think?

It's safer than the SL. I switched w/ him during the test drive and he hit 120 before I could tell him how fast the car was. Then he found the ESP button...NOT GOOD! Until yesterday, we were buying him a GT500... now that would have been a mistake. By the way, I'm in the car biz so here are some recent SL63 MMR's:

There are about 8 cars that ran since Feb. All under 2k miles. From $98.5-$110. As usual, convert prices are starting to rise. Anyway, I was saying that we almost bought him a GT500, now that would have been a mistake! What r u looking to get for ur SL? Where r u located?
