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.

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

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.

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 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.
