Congrats, btw the guy in the video is Chris Moran of Chicago Cars Direct and in all of his videos under that dealership, all of his stats are dead on, perhaps he got bad info somewhere for this one, seems to be an old dealership he worked for or what not.
Once again, great looking SL.

Hey Clayton, super congrats on the new car. Its funny, because last we spoke you were contemplating jumping due to the R-Class depreciation!!
Looks like you have recovered!
The car looks great. I have to get D2's wheel bid in FIRST so here goes:
We have a set of VS4's for SL or CLS fitment IN-STOCK, and we just need to assemble / seal them! PM me for a great deal on them! (Customer ordered and then changed styles when they arrived.
)
Here's an idea of what they look like on a SL

Thanks, Vinh.
He's quoting performance stats from a Car and Driver article, and he's quoting them correctly. Problem is, nobody has been able to reproduce those numbers. Plus, when he calls it a 5.8L V12, I think he's confusing it with the prior V12 that was in those cars, pre-2003.
Did you just say "saw his voice"?
Video was from 10/2007. That's when the gentleman that I'm purchasing the car from, bought it from him. Since then, he's put 2500 miles on it. 2500! He paid 90 grand, cash, 2500 miles ago. With a sticker of 130K, that was a great deal for that car in 2007. I think I may have hit the jackpot with this thing.
Thanks. It's been very hard to contain my excitement all day. Plus, with this massive erection, my coworkers are beginning to look at me funny.

It's him, I love his reviews with Chicago Cars Direct. Ironically one of his latest review is an E55 in which he stated it's the healthiest one he's ever driven or it may be because he didn't drive a 55K car in a long long time or anything that fast...lol.

RE: New Ride
Benzo,
Congrats, it looks very nice!
When I got my E63, they also had a mint 04 SL600 with 13K on the odo for the same asking price. I drooled over it for about 10 minutes, was offered a test drive, but got my senses back, remembered the wife (NO 2 seaters) and kids, and bought the E63 I came for. The E63 has exceeded my expectations, I'm big time happy with it, but I will own an SL600 or 65 one day, they are awesome machines.
Hope you have a good drive home.
