Just Received our 1st SL & CL65 AMG's!!!

I just watched the driver unload one Brilliant Silver CL65 and one Black SL65 yesterday! What a sweet sight to see, but the sound of the exhaust is not what I was expecting. I will try to take some pics and post them today, if the cars last that long!!

draggingcents2,

As much as I would love to sell you the car, I think that the market it a little stronger that the number you are offering.

WOW! Looks good! So where are you guys going to put this one? I'm guessing not in the showroom floor, but you put the Maybach there, so maybe?

those are two hot rides. I like the gun metal look of the rims. Is the S65 due here to the states?

That SL65 looks sensational!

Is that price ~$188K in U.S. dollars?

In Australia the SL55 costs $372,000 odd. Thats about $US260,000.

The CL65 car is at the House in Buena Park California, complete with an add on sticker of $45,000.

To rich for me, but some idiot will come along an pay it don't you know?

The SL65 is sold, but I have no idea what some fool paid for it!

Tried to see Mark to discuss our upcoming order of a fully loaded S-600, and at first were told that Mark was "with a customer," then after about twenty minutes, I was told that he was not even there! That 'greeter' had been informed who we wanted to see, but was trying to get our business for himself. Then the switchboard gal said that Mark was there, but too busy, and someone else would be coming out to help us! We'd been there for thirty minutes by then, and felt that the way we were being treated was dis-respectful, so we "voted with our feet" and departed.

It is really a shame for a high-end car dealer to treat customers in that manner.

If you're treated like that when trying to place an order, how do you think you'll be treated when you return with some problem?

Wow thats stunning. You said the exhaust wasn't what you were expecting, can you elaborate on what you were expecting and what it sounds like? Damn you are getting them cars real cheap over there.

Green E-300 DT,

I think the SL 65 AMG is an amazing car...

I find the SL 65 to be an amazing car but their are qualities that the car lacks.
