D4V3 GT4 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 I haven't digs, I think I need to try a little harder, it's just stuck in my bosses garage at the moment. Probably drop the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holtehero Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 A mate of mine has just bought one, he had the 55 coupe before this - he says he hasn't met a car yet that could beat him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 4.7sec 0-60 is nothing to write home about tbh, especially considering it's got a V8 with nearly 500bhp ffs! must be weighing 10 tonnes or close enough, sorry not my type of car. New costs £100k!!! for that price there's much better metal around imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H5 Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I wouldn't get a mid sized coupe full stop second hand F430 tnx very much So wouldn't a second hand SL 55 be more like £65k? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 I'm just saying I wouldn't buy it new at that price and for what it is. (massive barge-like car) £100k would be better spent on a proper sportscar in my opinion. in that case even a TT Z with std internals will be as fast (easily 4.7 secs to 60 and most prob faster in the corners...), and save yourself a shedload of cash bhp numbers are just for pub chats, it's how fast the car really is that's important to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4V3 GT4 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 I wouldn't dream of paying 100k either val, different ball game though getting a 100k car in mint condition for a smidge over 40. As for the 0-60 well that's as much to do with the driver than the motors capability. It's plenty fast for me, for the time being anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed Posted July 26, 2007 Share Posted July 26, 2007 at £40k then it's another story PS didn't know they depreciated that badly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D4V3 GT4 Posted July 26, 2007 Author Share Posted July 26, 2007 to be fair you'd be very lucky to find another one that cheap, in fact itdon't think you would Glass roof, and brabus split rims as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
