SL600 Buying help

I am very interested in the car. What sparks it the most is that, well, I can get a 7 year, 100,000 mile warrenty, have everything covered, drive it everyday with no problems.

The MSRP on the car I would like (SL600 with diamond silver on charcoal, with the only the heated non-wooden wheel, Keyless Go,

Tire-Pressure Monitoring and parktronic as options would be nice as would Illuminated Door Sills, but are not ness.

MSRP is around 132k for a car like this.

Where can I get it for the best deal? If I can get it for a pretty good price, I am sold, I was wondering if anyone had any tips.

Also I am interested how the different silver shades compare.

 

Just wondering, why not? For the record I dont normally deal with mercedes, I am a BMW guy, but the new models are...well ugly as sin, and I am trying to decide between a 600 and 55. Since I am planning on keep the car for a long time, I would like the faster one of the two, and it seems the 600 is the one.

 

I apologize, I thought you ment to stay away from the slightly used ones.

Is the 600 truely faster then the AMG?

 

It should say Hazleton, but the n got cut off for some reason. (the display character length is just one short of what it should be) It is in NE PA, Luzerne county, about an hour north from Allentown.

 

I never really trust C&D numbers though, what have other magazines clocked it at?

The rear tires are rather puny at 285mm (on a 9.5 inch wheel) considering the torque this puts down. The first thing I would do is up size this to get better times of the line.

 

Total Est. Time: 2 hours, 4 minutes as by Mapquest.

 

I like black, but it is too hard to keep clean. While the chip mods sound tempting, one of hte big lures of this is the free maintaince and extendable warrenty to 100k. This keeps the car out of my head. My fcar's maintaince fills that nicely along with my BMW's. (*sigh*)

I am not looking for a 100% reliable car, as much as a car that I don't have to think about if there is an issue. They come fix and return it, not my hassle.

 

The dealer told me it did.

I wonder though, does the chip make it undrivable, or is the power only available if a switch is seleted? I was looking at a lotus, but reports tell me the car becomes almost undrivable withe the racing chip. I would not mind this for a weekend car, but this is supposed to be my daily driver. Also how much does it cost?


Side note, as for BMWs I know, its sad. I greatly dislike the bangle cars.

 

Yes, all I have to say is the smile on my face was hard to beat.

 

I got a quote that the ECU upgrade is about $6400 to have it done right from Renntech. Power is around 540-560rwhp. Torque in excess of 700. Not too shabby.

Cost is not too bad considering althougth I like the sport option, I do not like it more then the standard look. (of which the lower bumper is very ferrari-esque) Being about the same in cost as to the sport option, I feel it is much better money spent. (although such figures are meaningless at this level)
