I'm starting to like it, especially in white. I guess as with everything, it has to grow on one. Still wondering why people buy it with the new one ahead. Ok, you can still drive it for 2 years or maybe 3, but then..huge depreciation. I see the pricing on one of the pics, that says 169.000 $. Well, for the exact same sl 63 in Belgium you pay 185.000 €. That is in $ : (take a deep breath !!) 260.850 $ !!!!
Still there ?

Btw, very nice pics!
I should buy myself a decent cam..Any suggestions ?

This is the IWC Ingenieur version of the SL! Very hot car! There is also in 2006 a IWC version of the CLS made.

@mf1,

and in Belgium is a Mercedes a lot cheaper then in Holland. In Holland costs a standard SL63 (no IWC) €213,892,- (= $307,084,-) twice the price of a SL in the US. So for the IWC will be the price in Holland around the $360,000,-. As I said already in previous posts, you guys in the US are such lucky people.

I know, that makes me sad and angry ! We have to work twice as hard to get the same car. Already asked it before, and ask it again : Anyone in for adoption ? please, please, please ?times 10

And all of that, just because our governments take 50% of what we work hard for ! They take half of our money or more and then they double the price on our cars !! : crazy::c razy:I need an aspirine !

I've got to say, that dealership name and slogan is probably the best slogan/name I've ever seen - Cars not bad too

Can I get the same look if I use 600 - 800 grit sandpaper?
I saw a show on TV last night where they customized a Smart car by having it redone in a flat/satin black finish. It actually looked good.

One!! That one looks amazing. But only looks good if the car is clean, and I wouldn't like to scrap away the tar of the street after every ride.

great car, but white never rewards you when you polish it like black or dark colours.

All it needs is a white finishing line at the bottom of the front mesh grill,
as the pace car and the SL65.

Dude, I'll adopt any of you guys... If you guys pay twice as much as US folks, then that means you can come over here and buy an extra one for me! I'm only 28 though, so I guess I'd be adopting a new uncle? lol

Saw the very same car at the House yesterday--- still there in all its glory. In person its really really nice with the CF accents and the matte white. I was tempted, really tempted--- plus you get the "10K" watch too.
