STUPID QUESTION!!!

I just purchased my partners (not domestic, work) 2009 SL63 Silver Arrow, Launch Addition 1 of 100. How do you know what # it is? Does it really matter?

I was the one asking about wheels... I just purchased a new set of 20' RennTech's today will have them next week...

Before you do anything...have you checked for any # designation either in the engine bay where the nameplate of the engine builder is or on the inside of the driver side panel (when you open the door) where the tire pressure and VIN plates are?

PS Your partner must have more money than sense.

correct...

he has 14 cars... I love to buy is hand me downs... He buys a car, drives if for a few weeks decides he doesn't like the paint (Hence my 2007 Porsche Twin Turbo) He purchased it at night and in the am noticed the metallic black paint and hates it.. Paid 143K for the car I got it for 93K a month later with 900 miles :-)

All you have to do is go to a dealer and get them to pull the records of the car.
