Heard production just started, so earliest cars should arrive by ?Nov in US
Dealer allocations already done...some dealers get a copy; ?20 dealers have been allocated two copies
Pricing seems to be a moving target w/mixed rumors (would guess AMG is still evaluating pricing as it closely observes the unfolding high-end recession and credit crisis in major mkts like Manhattan/Greenwich/BevHills)....am hearing price talk closer to $230K-ish...
Mkt for 599 (arguably most direct comparable) has weakened notably in past 4-6wks, despite limited recent production allocations for US....but perhaps not surprising as many early 599 owners (and repeat F buyers) have moved on to Scuds
Suspect 65Blk will be difficult to obtain (at MSRP) vs robust demand at a handful of well-regarded dealers w/deep repeat cust bases in SiliconValley/BevHills/Greenwich regions, but will largely languish on dealer lots across rest of US....

MSRP is between 300k - 325k friend of mine ordered 1. It is hitting the US january - febuary.
Price is quite steep. Kinda lame I think is to expensive for an SL but you know if people pay than good for them.
Looks hot though.

Actually friend of mine has a slot for 1 and he told me he was informed it was in the low 300k range. So I dont know.
If it was 230kish he probably already take it and wont consider it. He is considering just because it's in the 300k range he might not take delivery of it. If it is 230kish he for sure will take it.

So I think it's going to be between $300 - $330,000 in the US.

20+ to list......
No firm info on MSRP yet, but as soon as the first SL Black is delivered sometime this month, my dealer would definitely let me know. 
Pricing confirmed to those who are interested, a hefty $299,995 + tax, dmv fees, and gas guzzler.

that's what the word is everywhere, 320k range, but my dealership told me that I'm going to be paying a lot more than that for mine once it's in. either way, this is going to be the most i've ever paid for a car.

Here you go guys...I did not notice this post up, but I have had this for about a month now:
$299,000 price tag not including d&d or gas guzzler.
175 units will be produced, not the larger allocation they were talking about.
There will be a welcome kit included which will contain the following:
-A custom tailored indoor display cover hand fitted to the aggressive lines of the Black Series addorned with the Affalterbach crest.
-The cover will come in a hand built presentation box apholstered in the same black AMG exclusive leather in the black series. It will also have coordinating grey contrast stitching accompanied by a letter hand signed by Ernst Lieb.
-An engraved plate showing the individual VIN# and an AMG engine plaque signed by the same master tech who assembled the engine in that car. I should be seeing the brochure in a few days. My clients car will hit the port 1/1/09. It actually is slated as the first production SL 65BLK.

There is no way you are going to see it late January/early February. It will sit at the port for weeks, it will be put on the water for two weeks, and then you can't forget the possibility of DOT issues when it reaches US shores. That date is just a build date. There are chances it may not even get built on that date. There are soo many variables...trust me A realistic time for your car to even reach the VPC is late Feb...
