no options? If so, seems expensive.

Like doctodd33 mentioned, it doesn't list any options .. keyless go? panoramic roof? etc.

I don't like the wheels either. It just doesn't look good on sliver.

What do you know about DC Motors? Good? Bad?

I just noticed its a SL500 not a SL55 as you believe it is .. in which case, I wouldn't pay $109k for it. Sorry. For a little more you can have yourself a brand spank'n new 2005. Heck, maybe for $109k you can have yourself a new 2005 [depending on options, taxes, etc.]

no...it looks like an SL55. In the other pics you can see AMG engine, quad exhaust....only missing the V8 KOMPRESSOR side badges. I think they either incorrectly listed it as an SL500 or those pics arent all of the same car and/or they made it look like an SL55.

It's a SL55 for sure.

The car is a 2004 SL55 with 3K miles on it. It has Keyless go, Nav, and I do not know what else. I will look at sticker today and repost.

I sold the owner of DC-Motors his home about 6 years ago. After close of escrow I took him and his family to the Ritz Carlton for a 2 night stay in the Presidential suite. After that we have been great friend. He never buys story cars. NEVER! Doug is a striaght shooter. No BULL. I know what he paid for the car and what I can buy it for. He will only add about $1500 to what he is in it for to price for me. $98K range.

Those wheels suck. There were at his shop and he installed them on this car. I will ask him to put some new Asantis on it today!! then I will take new pic.

CAR SHOW

Dc-Motors and LoomisProperty will be holding a car show in the oc area. I am setting date soon and will post more as it comes. We plan on giving away more then $5,000 in contest money. Dc-Motors will bring his current exotic car inventory. All will be for sale and available for test drives with his sale people. I am working with city of Anaheim now am trying to get a 1-2 hour window and get street shut down for some 1/8 mile runs or a auto cross course in the move theater parking lot?????

Great point and one to ponder for sure.

I hear that but I really want a Gallardo or 360 modena or SL65 So I have been keeping my E55 so I can get one of those and still have a work car the E55. Up till now I have had no where to park it. But we move in 30 days and new house has a 4 car garage and I am adding on to it to make it an 8 car garage. I hope my car collection can now start. Or ask my friend at DC motors to let me store a modena or lambo or bentley for him. Ha HA HA!!!!

His car lot is my dream garage.
