My wife and I were driving and we saw what looked like SL tails. But one of the lights was fu(&ed up and steady bright on one side. Got closer and it pulled to the side of the road... White 2005 SLK with temp plates... and already electrical problems. 
Lovely looking car and drives well from the reviews... hope the Chrysler influence isn't too strong.... car looks sweet.

Was yours stickered for like $80K or something, then you negotiated? The markups of new cars in demand are just crazy.
Very sweet car, btw!
Looks very expensive too.

Congrats on one of the best looking cars on the road. I saw my first one a few days ago a girl or lady was driving it. She stared at me....sorta like hey I have a roadster too! Very nice although the rear looked different in person then in the pictures i have seen. If I had the cash i'd be all over this car.
That is one sexy car. I love the color you got Whats the color called. AMG just sick!
Congrats....I agree one hundred percent You traded up big time!

Lots of luck and I hope your back heals!

I went to a good dealer. I talked to the montgomery dealer first and the guy would'nt talk price and was so sleazy I felt like I needed a shower after I talked to him. Went to Crown in Birmingham, great guys no B.S. salesman said new model, MSRP no more no less. very nice guys called a lot to give me info zero sales pressure.
Italian
The color is called firemist red,Ilove it to
thanks for the good wishes. I had surgery in July. I still have a little pain but I'm much better than before the surgery.

This is the rear fog light option that most u.s. cars do not have, owner probably didnt know how to work it!!
