My good buddy has a one owner 65k silver arrow for sale. But he is asking $16900. He is a small mb only dealer and has sold 5 of them previously so he knows what he is doing. So for $14500 I would go silver arrow

Dam I still can't believe my folks traded the sl55 for $14000. This sale right here proves my point to their stupidity

GLWP!!

I think that gen is called the R230

Yeah the R230's especially the early ones are not exactly the pinnacle of SL's.
