unbelievable ~ it finally arrived
Just got it. Been out driving can't seem to get enough of it. The sound is out of this world and real head turner. I'll post pictures on Monday. Put my money down over 2 yrs ago. I walked in half an hour after they called me and they said take it for a drive. I said not until we get down to the nitty gritty about the price. They said (salesman, sales manager, and general manager), "we thought you understood it was going to be $20k over sticker?" I said, "NO, that's not my understanding." They said, "well it's a good deal because we can get $25-30k over sticker right now from our wait list." I said, " then go ahead, no hard feelings." They said, "no hard feelings?" I said, "nope, I just won't be buying anymore cars from you ever again etc." They said................never mind, it'll take too long to explain tonight, I'll tell you all on Monday when I post the pics, bottom line, I got the car for sticker.
Of course the financial guy wanted to sell me Lo Jack, then he wanted to sell me special sealer for the paint, leather, and carpet, then he wanted me for sure to get the extented warrenty, and finally he offered me a $900.00 special on chroming my multi spoke amg wheels. All for only an additional $ 3 fo 4 grand. LOL I said, "gee with Mercedes knowing where I am all the time why do I need Lo Jack? and with a 4 yrs. warrenty why do I need to overlap 4 out of 5 yrs.?", and I don't plan to eat any double double "in & out's" in the car so what's the deal? He wasn't very happy with me to say the least.

Congrats on the SL55 and getting it for Sticker. Having a car on order for 2 years and then the dealer trying to get $20K extra thats crazy!
Happy you like the sound of exhaust, seems like most do.
Enjoy!

Breeze,
Does your phone option include voice commands for the radio?
Is Lingtronic included when you order the phone?
Thanks,

Been driving it all weekend, incredible to say the least. Only averaging 12.5 mpg so far, it's tough to keep your foot off the gas the sound is so awsome.
Drove PCH from Dana Point to Huntington Beach all the so so vehicles wanted to catch up and have a look e lou. My partners got a digital camera so I'll try to post some Pics tomorrow.
