Mercedes-Benz sells 1000th SLR

Mercedes-Benz sells 1000th SLR McLaren since 2004 as of today. It has been reported that in the past day the 1000th hand made SLR McLaren has been sold.

SLR McLaren Photo: The photo that you see here is a 2006 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren that is currently on display at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show. Having the chance to get up and close to a new vehicle isnt something I get to do everyday. For more photos of the SLR McLaren check out the photo gallery.

Commentary: I recently saw one of these used as well as at the 2006 Chicago Auto Show and they are beautiful cars. Im not sure I would spend $470 000 on a single car when I could have an entire stable but I guess if you have the money and want to be one of the select 1000 among the 6 billion of us the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren is the way to go.
