Do you think the SLS will ever reach the same heights as a classic like the OG SL mercedes?
Have you seen/worked on an SLS roadster? Which do you prefer?

Of the ones I see in the picture, I’d take the SLS...and hopefully a smart if there’s one on the lot. :p

Yes. Without a doubt.
Yes again. I prefer the look of the roadster, but the cool factor of the gullwing. To drive, I prefer the GT.

No problem sir. I will function test your race start and sell you a transmission service and some tires. That will be $3k. Thank you come again.

Lots of smarts. We have been #1 smart dealer a bunch of times. I drove a 451 electric home last night.

Lucky!! Next time I go for warranty service I wonder if I could get an ED as a loaner? That’s assuming my choice of dealer even has EDs...

Working on it right now.
Astons break the bank soooo hard but these peeps have big banks to cope. V12 Vantage we have in right now for a clutch job. The owner drove it normal for 3 years, only has 15,000+ miles on it. Including some other random things, his RO is a little over $10K. Dude, I would be on the phone with Aston making such a fit..... but no, not this guy. He is just going to pay and drive away.
Must be nice huh?

But yeah, must be nice! I had a customer who didn’t feel like getting a pleb loaner while his S65 coupe was serviced so he bought a GLC43 instead.

Gawkers. Every porter and new salesman always wants to hover the whole time taking pictures and just checking it out. I just want to throw wrenches at them the whole time. The car itself is fine, very serviceable.

Can’t say I’m too surprised. I imagine it’s the same when an AMG GT, Maybach, or any six digit AMG is in the garage?

I know lol :]
Holy moly lol, must be nice.
When I was at Lexus, clients would trip balls if we offered a ES loaner if they drove an LS.
Our Lotus and Aston customers don’t even get loaners lol. If they want a ride, they get one in our shop 1994 Volvo 940

A 940!? Don’t you have a metris or sprinter or something like that as a shuttle?

We did when I first started back in 2010 because our “semi” modern machine was only purchased and used for Maybach. But once one of the mirrors went missing, we left the 1970's and joined the late 90's/early 00's with our other machine. That dust is pretty recent. According to our owner, “front end alignment is the only adjustment that matters.”

The 80's were especially ridiculous. Halfway between electronic and mechanical but not necessarily very good versions of either. Mid 90's and newer are great. Mid 70's and older aren’t so weird either.

Sick GLK ! What do you think of the 2014+ S65 coupes ? While I love the W221, I think it might make more financial sense to just get a W222 in a few years. The S600 has me hooked, so I’ll probably be looking for a 3-5 year old S65 in a few years.

Do it! I work on a 217 S65 regularly. But the only things it has needed were normal maintenance (tires, services) items and some door parts that the window tint installer broke.
