I have 2 SLS contracts available. Colors and options are currently open.

PM if interested.

for profit? I presume you are trying to do a flip on these since I dont think you are in MB sales.

What value over MSRP are you asking?

Steven Long

I didn't think the Forum permitted sales of this nature.

Crescendo

Interested, Pmed.

It is permitted if you are a sponsor.
Besides,MSRP,as the name says,is only a "suggested retail price".
The car is worth what the market pays so there is nothing wrong with charging premium for a product in huge demand (if there is one).

of course, none ever heard of supply and demand

In the current economy, the appropriate question should be how much under MSRP. I see originally the SLS was being projected as a $250,000 car but more recent figures are closer to $200,000. With 5,000 to 6,000 of these being made (much greater than the Maybach) there should be some room for negotiation once the first ones are out.

Ferri

So you are essentially trading a derivative with the SLS as the underlying!

Steven Long

I understand how that works, but this person is NOT an MB dealer, nor does this person have the legal ability to retail this product from the manufacturer ... hence, shouldn't this posting should be re-categorized within the FOR SALE section? I mean, if I am a shock supplier, does that give me the ability to post the interest in selling a 2010 Camaro, or a new-fangled cheese grater, under the auspices of being a Sponsor?


I understand sponsors pay to "access" their presence on the website, but believe there are guidelines - right? Okay, so anyone can pay $x, get unlimited marketing on the website, on an unlimited line of products, and we're supposed to be okay with that? Geez, if nothing else, you'd expect the SPONSOR to at least REPLY to some of the online queries!

what you guys talking about? make deals with SLS. i wish i was the salesman and someone came to me to make a deal for a SLS. i would tell them get the Fk out rite away. a person that has money to buy a SLS wont make deal, they just bring there AMEX BLK with them and throw it at the salesman like his a dog.

Might still work that way in Manhattan, but not the rest of the USA. This admittedly nice car with its gimmick doors will be a solid seller at the right price, but it is no Ferrari. Heck, the Nissan product outperforms it and everyone agrees it is not a thing of beauty, especially from the rear. Point is, 5,000 to 6,000 copies is not in the exclusive territory. That is more like what the demand should be for this car as long as the price can be kept in the range of $175,000 - $200,000 in today's economy.

The market will make the call on the price. It sounds like the 5000 number is for the full global lifecycle. The dealers that I have spoken to have all said that the number for the US in the first year would be less than 500.

It took me three dealers to find one that would put me higher than fouth on their list.

As with any AMG, I am sure that it will drop in price at some point but it seems like the first couple of hundred are spoken for.

I wouldn't pay over MSRP for it but I doubt that they will be selling it for under MSRP, not even in this economy as they just don't have to.

It is a better car than you make it sound. Have you driven it? Have you seen it in person?

northbenz

Have not driven it or seen it in person and truthfully I would be a sucker for the "gimmick doors." I see the market for this car to be persons who always wanted a Gullwing but don't want the headache of maintaining a collector car. I guess that includes a lot of us. The performance issue is a non issue for me personally but I'm hoping the in person view of the car makes up for its visual deficiencies evident in the photos.

What does i have 2 "contracts mean?" I'm #2 on a list with a dealer in LA. Does that mean i have a contract too? Maybe he's not selling the car... just the contract. :p

IngenereAMG

Sir, if you took the time to visit our web site you could answer your own questions. We are in the tuning and collector car sales business, and as a sponsor we use this as one of our marketing arms. Since we had 2 SLS contracts, what better audience to place it to?

Maybe that's life in old NYC, but in the real world, when you treat people like an animal.... that's what you get i return.

I don't know how your situation in LA works, but we are now down to 1 contract.

thewickedestone

I went to the website out of curiosity. Please have your webmaster change "adrenalin" to "adrenaline." Quite a few grammatical errors on the site. I know you're doing well, but you might want to consider an editor.

Stiggs

LOL
Doesn't sound very professional.

russjr

amg dictator has some very sensible points. seems that there will be only 400 os sls models in us for this year. as to performance, it is quite impressive, and unlike the nissan, it gets stronger in the upper ranges. finally, while we know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, be sure you see this car- not a picture- before making any judgements.

MB_AMG

I dont see any dealers will discount SLS given the fact a lot of the orders are sold before they even come in. I work at a dealer and we have sold 3 SLS already and the 4th one will be in October. It is all about how hard it is for dealers to get their hands on and also demand and supply.

Dark_Knight

the problem is when you sell the car you wont get any"premium" you paid bak, and the brokers drum up a a false demand, which keeps the cars out of enthusiasts hands and into the hands of retards like actors, its like this yo can buy a dog from a respectable breeder it may take longer but such is life, or you can pay more at the mall today and support puppy mills, its America its up to you

Steven Long

So, as a sponsor, I would be able to go to KMart - but a lawn mower, then post online that I have a lawn mower for sale? I always knew sponsors had more leverage (understandably), but I was under the impression that the leverage was regarding their own product.

So here we are, one year later, and I can visit a few local MB dealers, and pay MSRP or less ... without having to TRY to ask a sponsor a question about his motives ... let alone pricing. If this seller can't answer questions regarding the product, I wonder what would happen if anyone would ask questions about their own services?

AMG Dictator

You can get a SLS at below MSRP?

97W202

actually you can, thats why when we all buy wheels from a company and get tired of them we sell em..

such is not the case but with a car in such demand (to get on the list at a dealrship is a mission on its own) so the fact that they were able to get you a contract is ofcourse gonna cost you..

its an sls, if you cant afford it you shouldnt be arguing about price.
my $0.02

Only supercar I'd pay retail or above is the McLaren MP4-12C.

AsianML

The guy is trying to sell an SLS contract in the SLS forum. Sponsors sell their products and their services as well. As part of his business he buys and sells (collector) cars. It's still within the realm of his business and sponsorship. Your examples make no sense whatsoever. If you have a problem with it, report the post or PM a moderator or administrator.
