04 SL55 (sold),05 SL55, 09 SL63, 07 C2S cab Porsche,
Bought an 04 today!

I'm the new proud owner of a new 04 silver SL55! I Live in Vegas and had to go all the way to Denver to get it. The people at Glauser were great. I hated putting 800 miles on it immediatly but I saved 5k over anywhere else I tried to buy at. Especially in Vegas where they previously were trying to get 120k for an 03 with 20k miles on it!

I can't believe how fast this car is.

Anyway, The car is absolutly amazing . Although the navigation is far better on the 03 M3 I traded in. Is there any way to upgrade the Nav unit with stock enhancements available in the 05 ? My build date was 05/04.

George

Excellent choice, just curious, how much did they give you for the M3?
