        Premium price on new SL55

        Saw an ad in today's paper - a new black SL55 for October delivery and the seller's asking £ 110,000 (just about $160,000). I think it's a bit much in today's market don't you...

        1. An SL55 just went through Manheim at approx $150K.

        2. Know of at least one case of a U.S. SL55 delivery date being moved up, due to a weak European market. The car that was scheduled last month as an early Oct into-production date is now actually on the water. Good surprise.
