Proud new owner 08 SL55
Here she is!


I traded in my 2007 Grand Cherokee SRT8. It wasn't all that easy, because the SRT8 was very good to me and I met a lot of good members on that forum. But hey, some of them are here now!


So, what is the best way to listen to Pandora?

You will love your SL55. I have had one of the first since 2003 and it has been great (It event helped me launch a business).

Every so often I get the itch to sell and get something else... but nothing really comes close!

Enjoy!

I've had that itch and I sold my SL55 to try something else. After 6 months I went out and bought another SL55 which makes 3 for me so far.

I havent been stopped in over 10 years, then Bam! Just a couple of nights ago, I got stopped. It was a brief stop and they never told me why. And I didnt get a chance to ask, since they said I could go...I didnt waste any time doing so!

Nope - at least in the U.S. 2008 was the last year and 2009 the first year for the SL63.

That was for the E-class only. The SL class kept the Supercharged V8 for two more years.
