That description reminds my time this afternoon in my father's S430...I gunned it and it felt like I was towing a boat.

AMG or tell them no thanks.

Hey Ex-beemer;
What if they damage your car and it shows up later?
Who would be responsible?
How would you be able to prove it was them...then there would be doubts

Did you lease/own?
If you own, then definitely not...it ain't worth it, not even for a sl55...
maybe for a sl65 AND Catherine Zeta Jones AND Halle Berry AND Cindy Crawford...now you're talking....you could then let them have it for 6 months,
you'll need that much time to enjoy them before you tire of them :v :p


If you lease, then it may be easier to make that call.

I wont even valet my car, why would I agree to let a stranger put 30 miles on it? I am sure your payment is even more than $750/mo. Now if it was $5,000 it would be a different story.

2000 W210 E55->2003 R230 SL500->2004 W211 E55->2007 997TT+2007 E63->2010 GLK350->2012 E550 4matic
I owned a R230 SL500 for 17 months before trading up to the E55. The E55 is much faster, more fun but I would be tempted if MB USA lends me a SL500 just for fun for a month. I would however make sure they throw in a full detail, wax job before returning the car to me.
