Looks nice and seems to have the full PP pack, as price guide I paid £37K for a 27000 mile 2008 model from my local Porsche Centre with a years warranty, it was a steal but I caught them at the end of the quarter and bought it on the spot.
The one I test drove in Guilford at a main dealer was a 2010 with PP 30K miles and a full MB warranty at £48K.
Alexanders seem to have mixed the power up with a later Turbo model as my spec sheet states 525 BHP up 27 on the standard. The car looks immaculate but quite expensive.
I may be stating the obvious but there is a display on the speedo and rev counter which can be scrolled through for all sorts of info. Initially there is a flashing oil temperature which stops flashing once the correct temperature is reached, you can access tyre pressures from this after a few minutes.
If you press and hold the AMG button on the central tunnel you can set sports suspension how you like I tend to use Sport + on the gear selector which I find about the best setting. Once set you can still retain certain parameters and alter others like comfort mode instead of sport but still retain Sport+
V-Power suits the car rather than standard unleaded.
If you go to look at others be aware that you can buy the nicer performance steering wheel and not the full PP pack it had me fooled for a while but you can't mistake the bloody great big front discs on the full PP car.
There are a few interesting reviews of the car Chris Harris for Evo in December 2009 and a video by Jay Leno can be found too best search for 2009 SL63 for the results.

Well done, it's a very late registration too,did you manage to do a deal. I am sure you will grow to like the car the more you use it.
I'm booked into MB World at Brooklands tomorrow to do a three hour driving course in an SL63. Although I've done a few track days I think it would be a good idea to get the hang of the car on the wet circuit and the handling circuit just to see what the limits of the car are plus of course the best bit it's someone else's car
Funny enough that's where I had a track hour with that car and I've wanted one ever since.I'm booked into MB World at Brooklands tomorrow to do a three hour driving course in an SL63.

I knew there aren't many around well not at 50k
Very disappointed as there's no communication from others seriously quiet here unlike AM
I reset all trips and had a good day out today motorway A roads and towns levelled out @20mpg so on par with the DBS
Car gets the looks to which is nice so not fell down the ladder as much as I thought.
