Fletcher Imports has a Pewter Sl 55 Loaded for $157000. Do a dealer search on MBUSA.com and check the entire country's inventory of SL 55s

Here is the link:

http://www.mbusa.com/brand/index.jsp

When you get to the page, click on "purchase tools" on the left of screen and select the fifth item from the drop down list, "Preowned Search"

Good luck

In this list, you will still find Sl 55s with 10-100 miles advertised under "used car/pre-owned". There was some discussion on this a while ago. Basically, this is a tactic dealers do in order to sell a car at whatever premium they desire. MBNA does not like the practice of delaer price gougings as well as selling outside of your regional advertising area on NEW (never registered) vehicles. They will penalize dealers with cutting future allocations. So, what the dealers will do is put nominal miles on a car and register it privately, then turn around and sell a basically new car with a premium.
Take a look at the list, call the dealer and ask for details.
