I love the SL!

Concerning 08' or 09'... When I see a 08', I say, wow, it's classier, cleaner. I prefer it. And when I see a 09', I say wow, impressive! Definitely better than the 08'! After that, I see another 08' and I think, mmmh... Yep, this one is nicer... and....

Honestly, I would have a hard time choosing one. Both are superb! The 08' is classier, the 09' more sporty. Both are just awesome! There's something about the Merc SL, they're always the finest automotive art...

Thanks.

The 382HP 550. 5.3 seconds is really all I need to dust the locals here...:-)

I would agree with that assessment. As indicated, had the '08 not been available, then I would have probably ended up in an XK. Pricing on an '09 at release would just not work for me financially.

Congrats Jack...you've purchased a true classic. Can't wait for photos.

That V8 is seriously refined and smooth u'll have loads of fun driving it.

hey nevada congrats man

what a choice the sl the classic off all mercs wow man you have taste.
and that black will just be awesome with the 5.5l engine i am shure you are going to hhave a great time in the car .obviosly bit sadi you selling the gl as i own a gl but man the sl is just in another league and i no oneday i will follow your footsteps into a sl mate.

regarding the current sl and the 09 sl i did not initially like the face lift a lot but the more i see it i just love the front design off that car it looks amazing but also the 08 is very nice

good luck and cant wait for your brilliant pics ..

oh yeah glad you remained in the mb camp

Thanks.

Stay with it and you will be driving that SL some day soon...:-) And you are right that I will be driving a MB SL rather than a Jag XK...

Nice choice man...

By the way, what's a P1?

hey yeah i was actually last year going to buy a silver sl 500 used with a amg package and amg rims infact if you saw it from outside it was exact to a sl55

but at the time my brother told me i am yet 31 and i can not buy a sl at the time he said the sl is for a older or more matured man and he said a sl is a car you work up to and not just buy a used one and drive it he said you must buy a new one .he told me buying a sl was not just buying a car for x amount it carries a lot off emotion so i left it till the day i can buy a brand new sl maybe in 5 years or so

nevada all i can say is i envy you

Congrats Jack! Great taste in cars. Looking forward to just a couple of pix
Since you and i both owned a w220 and a w221, i wonder if there is an SL in my future ... LOL
