It looks like I've sold my Lamborghini Diablo and I'll very soon be on the hunt for a replacement toy smile

I had originally been looking for a Mclaren 12C but after careful consideration, its too much of a track car for me. I'm after something with more sence of occaision that I don't have to "drive like I stole it" everywhere I go.

I then had a play with an SLS and I was blown away. I need an SLS in my garage.

If anyone is looking at selling, please drop me a pm - I'll be a cash buyer.
If in any doubt, please view my history of cars on my profile. I'm not a time waster or someone planning on getting a free joyride - just after the right car before it hits the open market.

From the research I've done, there don't appear to be any known issues apart from battery drain - unless anyone can advise me otherwise?

Many thanks - I hope to be posting in this section real soon...

Colin - many thanks. You have mail.

Andy, I'd be interested in the white SLS. I have tried dropping you a PM but the system won't allow it??? Please can you drop me a PM with an email address to get hold of you?

Many thanks,
Lee

I am aware of a 2011 car with full spec, in pearl white with only 64 miles covered that the owner is thinking of selling! He will want top money though!

I have driven it and it's a stunner!
Many thanks.
With only 64 miles I suspect it will be over budget and I'd be afraid of using it and putting any miles on!

I've noticed a fair few have popped up over the holidays on the classifieds. Which edition/spec are you looking for?
I'm fairly easy going on spec really.
My ideal car would be grey/silver/blue & have carbon fibre centre console, B&O speakers, reverse camera, garage door opener and anything else is a bonus. I understand with limited numbers etc that some of my wishlist may go out the window frown

Thanks Palmball.

I had a look round your old car a few weeks ago. Very nice and very well spec'd just out of my price range. MB Derby also had a red SLS in which was the one that I had gone to see and the one that got me hooked on the idea.

Hopefully something will turn up soon. I was also considering a Mclaren 12C but after driving an SLS, it just pips the 12C for me.

If anyone has or knows of an SLS coming up for sale, please give me a shout.

Many thanks for the offer Andy but I have found one now that has very few miles and ticks all the boxes.

Hello! What an awesome car you are thinking of!

I work for Mercedes so if you need any help or information on the car please feel free to get in touch!

What price range are you looking at? For a 62 plate roughly you'll be looking at 110-120000£.
A62 plate for £110- £120k? That boat has sailed unless they are poorly spec'd cars with high miles.

Colin
Once again, many thanks for your email regarding possibly letting your car go.
What you say is not strictly true... I was after an SLS that ticked as much of my wishlist as possible (B&O, carbon interior pack, reverse camera, low mileage, full history, gearbox upgrade and outstanding condition and preferably grey or red).

I was lucky enough to stumble across a car that ticked more of my wish list than yours. All I've sacrificed was the carbon interior pack and the colour but I settled on silver which I consider a safe option. I loved the look of yours in black but from previous experience, black is a difficult colour to live with.

At the time I started looking, there was very little around and I would have considered anything that was well looked after with good history.

All the best,
Lee

So its a 20012/13 Coupe at sub £100k thencloud9
Sub £100k? You'll be lucky!
There is a red coupe with 30k odd miles for sale at the moment for £100k. I don't know the car but compared to others for sale, if its a straight car, its a bargain!
