I ordered this car along time ago and it finally came in. I was undecided on taking it but this weather it just gives you that itch. The car is as follows.

Mars Red new for 2004 replaced MAGMA
Charcoal interior
Keyless Go
Hands Free Phone "waste"
Ventilated Seats "waste"
Panorama Roof
Bi Xenon lights
MSRP 129165 which for some reason seems high, does anyone know if they had a price increase for 2004?

The car is awesome and I will post pics soon as Orlando brings me my digital camera back hint hint Orlando. The red with the black pano roof is a really nice contrast. It feels quicker than my cl55 and has a much better sound. I have 900 miles to go before break in is over and I can really get on it. As far as Mods go I have ordered the following

Kleeman Lowering Module
HRE 549 wheels 20X10.5 rears 3.5 inch lip and 20X9.5 fronts 2 inch lip
Renntech Deck lid spoiler
Carbon Fiber wheel which I am waiting on Arling to get me info on.


Cant wait to post pics

 

Congratulations, And You have less than 24 hours to post pics or I might have to fly down again and take em.

 

Shoulda got Shanks since it'd been Rennteched... Once it's had that stuff done to they get some serious *****...

 

Cant wait to see the pics Duane, sounds HOT

 

You will have yopur Camera tomorrow.......I PROMISE!!!! You going to give me a ride???

 

Only if I get my camera!

 

Yeah, there was a jump of about 6 grand between '03 and '04.
I had the hands free is not useless, I used to have it on my CLK and used it a lot.

And you must post pics.

 

the hand's free on my mom's SL55 is a piece of **** and never works. It is impossible to hear her.

The panorama roof is a MUST HAVE option. It makes the car seem really exotic and it looks 10x better.

Congrats on the car. If you're not going to post pics soon can you describe the difference between the reds?

I actually prefer Magma but mars has blue in the base color. It does not have the brightness of Magma. I have receive several compliments on the car just today especially in a area where SL'55s are a dime a dozen.

 

Congrats Duane.

 

me too.

Duane,
just sent u an email.

 

I just saw mars in another pic, and it looks awsome, good choice!

 

Love the ventilated seats.......... def not a waste

 

mehrabani1 of course you used the hands free thing a lot...you live in New York.

they should make it illegal everywhere to talk on the cell phone while driving. Some idiots can barely chew gum and walk.

Anyways Duane, can't wait to see pictures!

 

congrats duane I cant wait to see pics...Red seems to be a rare color
