What's under the sheet?

Ahy, an SL600, of course

Well that 100 series deal fell through, someone wanted it more than me i guess. It's insane how well the late 100s keep their resale value. A comparable 2015 with similar mileage is cheaper than what an 07 was asking for. In the end i weighed my options and for my little boy's sake, i think the 200 will have more room and is quieter ride for us. So with that being said, i picked one up today. Rides really strong and smooth, but also rides like a boat, the 100 series will always be a better looking and better driving dynamics vehicle for me. I'll still be shopping for another 100 but they're getting really rare, the clean ones are snatched up quick and the rusty ones are just too far gone around here.

That sounds like the 80 vs 100 series market ~12 years ago. At the time I was trying to chase down an 80 series for my son’s first vehicle. It was easier and cheaper just to buy him a 100 series.

I thought so…. I just wanted to be cheeky.

Kudos on the 200.. they are solid machines. They take well to HP mods.

Congrats. Love the color combo on the 200. How is that driver seat so brand new looking. Not a wrinkle on it. Was the PO an 80lb person?

Very nice! Maybe the cleanest one I’ve seen so far. I would hold on to it!
