lol GFEAR, you have no idea how badly ive been considering lookin at your car its stinkin beautiful i dont even like red usually&& @ flsl55 GFear has an exceptional SL on sale for about 35-36 if im not mistaken, && that is an 04 with many expensive tasteful mods. i wouldnt believe an SL55 for 30k to be too far-fetched.

Unless you want an SL55 with:

60k+ miles
Accident
Major work needed

You won't find one for 30k. Not even in this economy.

A warranty is worth it's weight in gold! I would buy GFEARS car while its still for sale. I've seen it in person and know he takes great care of it.

It's a STEAL at 36k!

Here are the Manheim's most recent auction prices. The dealer has to pay a $500 auction price ON TOP of these prices.

2003 SL55

06/17/10 GTR PHNX Lease $32,750 37,395 Avg SILVER 8G A Yes
06/17/10 CHICAGO Regular $35,200 37,727 Above SILV 8G A Yes
06/10/10 MANHEIM Regular $31,000 50,375 Avg SILVER 8G A Yes
05/27/10 MANHEIM Regular $32,250 63,172 Avg WHITE 8G Yes


Still thinking you can talk someone into selling their SL55 for 30k? It's not going to happen on this board.

Maybe an E55 is more in your price range....?

GFEAR's car is the automotive equivalent of meagan fox

S55-V12killer:
you are asking for a lot with 30k
~30k will give you a car pushing 70s, 80's in miles and no younger than 2003

i think you have to be a bit more realistic
your qualifications will run you ~38k
...not considering the color combo (which will be 20 times more difficult as red interiors are quite rare)
i suggest you edit your requirements because you have about as much chance of finding that car as you do of running into osama bin laden in a synagogue
best of luck nonetheless

Gfear is asking $35K with stock rims. 1 year of CPO warranty is worth $2500. Tint, lowering links and smart top module (all worthy upgrades) is worth around $1000. That puts the stock car at $31.5K. Sounds like the perfect deal for you. I was about to jump on it, except I found one local.
