My new car

LEDZEP · 05-31-2006, 08:04 PM

Now I just have to wait for the wagon version to come out too!! This beauty is sitting in my dealer's showroom. The salespeople don't even touch it with their bare hands!

Someone ordered it and then backed out! I'd hate to be paying interest on this thing!

canucklion · 05-31-2006, 08:36 PM

looking at the price list: well, no shit there's no charge for metallic paint and leather, they better be standard on a 450,000 car.

sux to be the dealer, but guess there'll be a lucky buyer that can haggle the price down a bit to maybe like 449,500

MoreCowbell · 05-31-2006, 08:56 PM

Whats the lease rate, 24 months, 10k?

Nikki · 05-31-2006, 10:15 PM

wow awesome price. they had the one at our dealer here marked up to $1,000,000 and someone bought it right away.

longtran · 05-31-2006, 10:30 PM

BMW F22 · 06-01-2006, 02:55 AM

I saw one at the dealership when comparing the C-class to the 3 series. MSRP was $460k and they ADDED $120k MARKUP!!!! The car came out to $580,000. HOly smoke that's a freaking house right there. WOW!!

rics · 06-01-2006, 04:00 AM

Actually, if I'm not mistaken, the SLR is a limited edition (3500 in total as I recall). So i don't think it will be to hard for the dealer to get rid of it...
I think there is a huge waiting list for these babies, and probably someone rich enough, will be extremely happy to lay their hands on it without even waiting.

Broken1 · 06-01-2006, 04:14 AM

It is cheap though. I mean $450000 - thats like R2 700 000 - that can barely buy you a new lambo here. :-) I would take it, if I had the $$$

Hula-Hula · 06-01-2006, 05:37 AM

yeah godamn thats one fine piece of machinery right there.. holy cow man!

And it's got the maybachs gearbox, talk about easy to kill other fast cars, no brainer!

Paul330d · 06-01-2006, 06:20 AM

I have seen/heard one of these on the track - when it barrelled past us, it sounded just like a WWII Spitfire & gave everyone watching goosebumps

ksfrogman · 06-01-2006, 06:22 AM

My receptionist was walking along one Sunday morning a bit distraught about the recent passing of a family member, and a brand new gull-winged Mercedes pulled up next to her (I can only assume it was one like this). The driver asked her what was wrong, and then asked, "if I were to offer you a ride in my new Mercedes, would that help cheer you up?" The driver was Jay Leno.

LEDZEP · 06-01-2006, 08:34 AM

Yeah, I knew Leno had one. He's quite a collector. I was just glad to be able to see one of these beauties in person. Maybe years from now they'll be found at car shows or collector's meets, but for now they are very rare.

Hunter399 · 06-01-2006, 10:01 AM

The SLR is my favorite car in the entire world

I would take that car over any car

A couple of those are around my house and they drive by and i just stare....what a beautiful car!!!

Agreed....saw and heard one trackside at Summit Pt raceway, WV at full song...sent chills down my spine

brian32e · 06-01-2006, 11:14 AM

They should ship it over to Beverly Hills -- people buy them over there. When I was driving around there I saw a black one parked on the side of the road, being passed by ANOTHER black one driving by.

oh yeah and it was parallel parked in front of a F355. Gotta love Rodeo Drive.

Howdy1606 · 06-01-2006, 12:46 PM

That's a sweet ride.
