I looked at a jade green color today and it was absolutely gorgeous.
Went over the car very closely and couldn’t find a thing wrong. I had seen the headliner issue you are mentioning on the car I test drove, but this one was perfect. You of course know the quality of the finish.
One thing, the salesman stated that the redelivery check took 14 hours, but he also stated that they always take longer until they learn the car. They did the first check on the dealer’s car followed immediately by a customer’s car.
Salesman was scrabbling when I got there because when he went to fill it up with gas the tire pressure warning light came on. He was supposed to deliver car today and it was back in the shop.
Even though I agree with some of the things you are mentioning, comparing to other cars out there, this looks like very good value. The dealer where I ordered mine is very attentive to having everything perfect and making sure the customer is happy with their decision.
I see you are getting your SL in the bay area? Which dealer did you use to order your DB9?
