Can someone confirm the options on these two cars?


I'm looking at buying one and want to make sure they have the 030 Package

WDBSK72F18F138991


Thanks
Rob

Good luck!

If you are wanting a performance package SL55, there are tell tale signs. 19" two piece rims. Vents in front of the front wheels. Alcantara steering wheel with aluminum paddle shifters. Massive front brakes. Things you can't see are the locking diff and Nuremberg handling programming for the sport mode. The first pic looks like a 2006 030 because the front vent is one big opening instead of split like the 2007. The 2008 pic i not but I wonder if they are using these pics as reference.

Cheers!

Shaun

You're right!

I apologize... I was skimming for '030' and forgot the Performance Package was actually 'P30'.
