Buying SLR Need Help Please

Hi everyone. I just joined this forum. I wanted to get some input on buying an SLR. I am looking at at 06 now with 4100 miles. Apparently, this car is 1 of 1. It is midnight blue and has a two tone interior. I've seen the car close up and its beautiful. The guy that owns it now bought it last year from Beverly Hills Mercedes. The calipers are red and they have Hammer written on them. I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

John

Sounds like a great car! make sure you post some pictures. That car at least what I have seen. SLRs with 3k miles with Silver Arrow 300 SL leather go for about 330-350ish. At least what I have seen. I would be curious to see the window sticker to see what it says about the color. Also, I know in California they try to make 50-60 grand on each car. They dont care they want to make way to much money on cars i have noticed. fyi...

Thanks for responding. I guess I wanted to see if anyone knows anything about this particular car. I forgot to mention that they are claiming to have documentation that this particular car has 750hp and it came out of Mclaren that way. Thanks again.

I would ask to see the documentation first. 750 would require serious modification.

Send me the VIN# and I'll run a 'netstar' on it. I can check with the factory rep's about the engine. You can send the info to my personal email if you like. marc_galassini@comcast.net
