Anyone bought a SLS

[Liquid silver]

Anyone out there own a SLS? What are your experiences? Is it what you expected? or are you disappointed.

I wish. All I could probably afford is one wheel bolt.

Just priced up a door of a Mercedes McLaren SLR, quite simply because I could. A snip at £62,388.00 inc vat each.

Manufactured cost x 10....15....20....30?

On reading how much a door costs... I now don't think I could even afford a wheel bolt. And I dread to think let alone even ask how much they cost.

Ask the question again in about 15yrs, there might be a couple of owners,should be an interesting time what with all the lovely lease 63's in private ownership.

I dont own one but I did drive one at brooklands for the day. I did get to give the SLS an absolute hammering. I have driven a c63 on the road and before they let me loose in the sls they gave me an SL63 as a marker. The difference in performance is significant, I think the extra 100 hp really makes the difference. Its an easy car to drive fast or pootle around town at low speeds. I wouldnt describe it as nimble and the bonnet is long. I think its a great all rounder and would consider one if I didnt have a mortgage,wife and child. If you are considering one, the sls day at brooklands is prob a good idea. My instructor was very good and we tested all the settings and technology onboard to see how the car drives differently depending on how you set the car up.

New SLS or used SLR? They're about the same price so which would you choose?

SLR ! much more outrageous look

SLS,masterpiece of retro design.

Sls for me, slr looks a bit dated and its supercharged. Sls has n/a engine and almost the same power.

If I win on Fridya night I'll be popping straight down to the dealers to order an SLS......
