Finally Got One
picked up an 08 SL55 on Monday.
39K miles, 040 black on 211 black nappa leather, 030 Performance package, H73 carbon fiber trim ( I would have preferred wood trim, not a carbon fiber fan)
a few minor issues that can be resolved, one wheel need refinished and the typical lower front bumper crack.
questions?
it has tweeter pods on the A pillar, were these an option or were they added?
how rare is an 08 with the 030 (P30)?
what is the value after i correct the few issues?
hope to enjoy this for years to come, while resto modding my 67 fintail

I may have a copy on my computer but Vlad's could be more current.

464 08's were delivered to the North American market. The estimates I've seen on the P30 package are 10-15% shipped with this $14k option, making your specific build 08 very unique and highly desirable. Congrats man!

Sounds like a nice pickup.
PS - 040 black with black nappa interior looks perfect with the carbon fiber interior. I've seen the burl wood option on these interiors, and I was definitely not a fan.
