Default Sl 55 amg

Just bought a 04 SL55 AMG I'm thrilled with it .
ANy Pro's con's?
This one has 85 k and seems in perfect condition.
Haven't got it yet as it's up in the frozen north Of Chicago.
Maybe tomorrow but the forcast is for snow.

Yes , almost. I managed to drive mine 560 miles from Chicago to Arkansas in a snow storm. I was forced to stop about half way overnight layover. The second leg was on plowed but snow covered interstate. Managed it as if driving on iice....opps I was driving on ice. Never put a wheel wrong,until I got home and slid off my drive onto my lawn where I promptly got stuck.
I did encounter a few miles of dry pavement on the trip and then....well you can't imagine what 500 hp feels like after 500 miles of ***** footing.

Love this thing

Bill
