Not much info in the ad, but the aluminum wheels and spoiler lead me to believe it's an SL2 instead of an SL1. (Also may have painted mirrors and door handles, it's hard to tell in the pics). The SL2 has more power and dual overhead cams, but is less efficient.

.gov says you should get 23/33 mpg.. An SL1 would be 24/36 mpg.
Well I'm not in any hurry to get a car, so if it is the SL2 I'll just walk away. I already went and looked at a couple that turned out to be and SL2, so I just thanked the gentlemen for their time and walked away.
