I'd love one - I was looking at the 55 CL AMG and might get one next year.

It'll cost you a fortune to run and won't make your penis any larger.

That is one hell of a car for the price, I'd be in there with both feet if I were in the market for that kind of car!

Good man!
Any frightening running costs (beyond fuel and tyres) or mechanical nasties to watch out for?

Is this madness?
Have always had a soft spot for one since Clarkson drove one round the track and I heard that fantastic 5.5 litre supercharged V8. 500bhp luxury for £30K.

Originally posted by DimPrawn View PostThought about it, even thought about the even weedier SL 350, but it's got to be the SL 55 I'm afraid. Okay it's about £10K more expensive, but 500bhp and the sound!
SL 500 is too soft. I'm not that old yet.
