You should be more outraged by what they offered you for your car, and if you do have a business, should consider that when considering another.
To own a SL is indeed a privelage, I didn't get mine free, I worked bloody
hard, when you have a business, for those who have, you work all hours.
There are employees to pay, rates, rents it goes on and on, beside that
you are always worried whether it will go bust, so yes I worked hard and
as a reward MB don't even include your car in their 60 years of SL Icon
brochure. I think they are ashamed of the 2008 SL63 and therefore
did not include it. Apparently according to this brochure the SL55 R230 runs
from 2001 right up to 2012, there is even a picture of the SL55 with the
words "the R230 2001- 2012.Now I know many people don't like the 2008
SL63 but I fell in love with mine, mainly because of it's looks, exhaust note
and gearbox, this made it quite different to a SL55.So obviously a car, one of the best I ever owned should be in this brochure, I feel quite hurt that it's
been left out.On a serious note it will de value your car, as I say I was offered only 43k and it's like new. The new model is more like the 2008 63
than the SL55, in fact The new model doesn't look right to me. I am going to write to them, I'll let you know the outcome.

I would consider myself a very good Mercedes customer, but I recieved
something in the post that's made my blood boil.
I recieved a beautiful
brochure expensively printed on the SL range from start right up to the new
2012 SL63. However when I looked it appears the 2008 SL63 didn't exist.The Brochure named 60 years of the SL is therefore innacurate and extremely
insulting to those who bought the 2008-2012 SL63.ARE they ashamed at
making this car, they certainly took my 108 grand with worry. For those
who have got this brochure perhaps I'm wrong, however I am sure that
a car was made after the SL55 2008 which lasted until 2012. The brochure states R230 2001- R231 from 2012 it also shows the latest so it's not the 2008 model. Perhaps this is also a way to offer you peanuts for the 2008,
they offered me 43k I can't afford to sell my 63, but when I do it's
good bye Mercedes and hello Jaguar.Attachment 244200

Maybe they just regret discontinuing such a great car as the SL55! Even car companies make mistakes!!
Smile! It's all good......

It's spelled "privilege." I think you are a little impressed with your own importance. You should seriously consider putting a hose in the tailpipe, extending it into your driver side window, rolling it up, and sitting in your car with engine on. We will, then, hopefully, not see more of your idiotic posts.

Censorship is needed on here to a certain extent. This generally a clean, fun, and safe forum. Just because somebody is a little off, doesn't give anybody the right to come on here and suggest suicide. Especially wheniimplied by someone who doesn't even have ten posts. Why don't you take a minute to write an introduction about yourself. You seem to have sprung out of nowhere. We tend to like to get to know each other on this board.

I do not think my posts merit an infraction from a moderator, for "inappropriate language," for expressing an opinion, and the infraction amounts to nothing more than censorship. My posts are a reaction to a man in the UK who, based on his posts, is more than just a little off. I think we may see this person on CNN in the future.
I came to this forum to locate a navigation update for my girlfriend, which I did. I do not own a Mercedes-Benz, I own Lexus.

We agree.
Let's just drop it. We have gotten so far off topic here. You have to understand that it is nearly impossible to make someone like Sound quit posting. The internet is full of people that will aggravate you. Try and rest easy knowing that you're better than them. I always find it's easier to laugh about them, then lose sleep over shutting them up.
