Here we go again, ala SL55 speculators...

What is going to be terrible is when some poor schmuck actually pays the "Stupid Tax" on an SL65 only to lose his a$$ when the depreciation hit knocks on his door a year later when MB starts mass-producing these things.

Just because some nutcase is asking these $$ does not mean he's going to get them.

$350K for that car is absolutely ridiculous!!!!!! Just goes to show that there are still too many people in the world with too much money and nothing to do with it.

is the demand for SL65 really that high in the states?

As a resident in Canada, I hardly ever heard of ppl placing order for SL65. My dealder still told me the same thing, he's got a september allocation (or production) and he can sell it to me at MSRP.

That's a lot of ca$h! I'd rather have the SL55 and the extra moolah for mods.

Thanks. I only ask as I know a gentleman here in ATL who's getting one of the special edition '777' cars, as this one is described as being.

Read up on twin turbo's lamborghini first, There is lots of bi turbo diablo's and murci's out there and they run great and are realible as any day and use most stock internal parts.


Back to topic for the price of the SL65 I would get a 2002 Murci in black/cream and S600 Renntech.

Still better then RMS.
