Man that is a really sinister looking whip! Congrats! I love the matte/gloss black combo! Especially after doing it on my wheels. Such a nice compliment to each other

not sure on the two finishes, i think either one by itself looks incredible, but it is a clean looking car for sure.

wow, she MIGHT BE FOR SALE -- because I may be going in partners and buying a hotel down the jersey shore!

if anyone is interested let me know... the car is under FULL warranty till 101k miles or 4/2015!!!! In addition to pics, it has SL63 trunk spoiler, and full 6000K lighting (led parking lights, license plate lights, and low beams) plus new rear tires (fronts only have 600 miles)..

anyways, i am so not 100% on doing this.. I just have a really sweet opportunity to buy a hotel with a few buddies and keep a few rooms for ourselves, and can use this money to do that and make my payment a lot sweeter...


if interested PM me an offer... With warranty + tires + more mods.. I still can do the car for under $50k..

The car without warranty and stock at manheim is going for $36-37k with these miles.. (plus fees, transport, and fixing the car up).. this car is a creampuff AZ car and no problems on carfax/autocheck..

Like I said I may not let it go.. but I can do under $50k for the car.. and the car stock is going for $37k at manheim.. I can sell with or without warranty..

I don't know if I will even do this.. because its a once in a lifetime car.. its basically an SL65.. if you put ecu/tcu tune for $1500-2k the car is as good as an 07 SL65, and looks like 1... for a fraction of the cost.

Just making money and getting a couple free rooms in a nice place (and I love the beach) - makes me even ponder this so let me know via pm or respond here that you msged me.

I think you should probably sell off some of the stuff and make it more stock, like ditch the amg bumpers and blacked out headlight and send them to me....

Sorry I found this amusing.... straight from your ADD, I doubt the SL55 guys will though (NONE of the other model SL r230's come w/cheap vinyl dash)
Standard features:
Navigation
Heated & Cooled seats
Massaging/pulsating seats
Napa Leather (soft luxurious leather ONLY on 600 series Mercedes)
Full leather dash (not cheap vinyl like the 55 amg)
Wood grain steering wheel
V12 insignia floormats
6 Disc CD Changer

lol - I love the amgs.. overall... but gotta persuade possible 55k buyers to go 600! I had an sl55 too.. the dash does look better on the 600.

One thing I do miss on the 600.. is the alcantara around the speedo.

TTT for memorial day. Buy it and make me jealous and have it all summer. If I didn't need it gone to get the mortgage, I'd wait till October and sell it!
