My partner traded in her underpowered Merc for this:
SL55 AMG, 03, 35,000 miles, fsh, warranty, new Pirellis, usual toys etc
As I had no stake in the SL350 (secondhand gift from Daddy Dearest, don't ask), we split the cash difference to up the power stakes a tad. I didn't have much of a say in some the matters, personally would have gone for a different colour (this is Tellurite silver, sort of a bluish hue) and I pretend the wheels just don't exist, but she loves it.
Having spent the weekend with it, I really, really love the engine. The car itself does a few things brillantly, a lot of things very well and the rest more than adequately. It sounds glorious, but obviously very thirsty. Bit short, I know, will finish this off properly when I get back.
