SL65 AMG
New SL55 Owner!!
Picked up my first Merc today and went for a 2003 SL55 AMG with 27,500 miles on it. I'm the 3rd ower and each owner has service records for it since it's original purchase. Very excited to learn about the car. I'm use to the power, I have a 1998 Mitcubishi Eclipse GSX with 1031awhp no spray so not to surprised there. If you guys have any helpful tips or have any recommendations please let me know. Thanks MJ

Very nice, but how do you get 1000+ HP out of a 4 cyl Mitsubishi without nitrous?

Question
Nice find with such low miles! Did it come with a warranty? Mind if I ask what you picked it up for?

Can not wait for my 2005 on Sunday and your pictures just make it more of a long wait!
