To help keep this
engine going, :multi: I have a little story to relate to you. I stopped at the local Mercedes to check on
replacing a license plate light bulb that had burned out. What's really neat is there's a warning light on the dash that told me my right license plate bulb had burned out. Great in depth warning system on my S550 but what the heck is a light bulb burning out after
1000-1500 miles? :bad-words: Must have happened the time I took it
off-road in the
quarries! :roflmao: Yeah... right!
But truth be told, I also stopped in there to check on the
new CLK63 Black Edition :shocked!: that's coming out in July or somewhere close. So meanwhile I go ahead and ask about the license plate light bulb and they tell me to stop in one day and they'll replace it in
10 or 15 minutes.
Trick!
Then I inquire back about the
CLK63 BE and they aren't up to date on the car because it was just announced by MB I can understand that because we're kinda in a small town market area and sometimes it takes time for Big News to reach us in this region.
'
The Owner promises to check into the CLK63 BE for me and in the same breath he says there's something he thinks I should check out.
HUH? They just received a Limited Edition SL550 in the
'White Pearl' paint with a '
designo'
package. I'm not too familiar with the 'designo' packages, so I
stupidly say "Sure, why not, show me the car!"
BIG MISTAKE! :faint:
The 'White Pearl' paint work is
absolutely illegal! It shines like a real white pearl in the sun!
The interior is also fabulous. It has the
'designo Mystic White Edition' option which includes the following: designo Mystic White multistage paint, designo Porcelain Nappa leather upholstery, Natural Maple wood trim, Wood/leather steering wheel and shift knob Charcoal Alcantara roof liner and Black designo floor mats.
Plus to aggravate me even more, it has Distronic and Parktronic AND the
Panorama Roof with
Sunshade! 8) Great..... just great! My present SL550 is only 5 months old and they go ahead and put me in heat again by showing me this car.
I tell the owner,
"OK.... I'll bite! What kinda deal can you make me?" He works on all kind of numbers and then comes back with a figure that's
decent but not quite enticing enough. So I manage to beat him up for a few more dollars and...... we make the deal!
What's perplexing is that I was very happy with my Pewter SL550 and would have remained that way if they would have
only left me alone.
I hate car dealers!!! :prr:
Below are some pics of the new 'White Pearl' SL550. I think you'll see how much more the 'White Pearl' stands out from the Pewter. BTW.... I did go ahead last weekend and make a
'Virtual Handshake Deal' with an Ohio Mercedes dealer for his copy of the CLK63 BE. I hope that it's all Mercedes and the online car forums are making it out to be!
Take care, Mags
