I have been trying to sell my SL. it is perfect, warrantied, well documented and priced lower than anything comparable. Is the market for these shot. I bought a Ferrari and have no garage space left or i would keep it. Please take a look and give feedback, i am at a loss for why i cant sell it

Where was this a month ago?! I just bought mine, and although I love it is silver, I really wanted black. I can't figure why you can't sell it, it is priced WAY lower than all the ones I looked at, and has lower miles.

Have you tried Carmax?

Wish you were out east, I'd be very interested.

If you really want to sell it, you will probably have to be around $18k to $20k and maybe even lower. The SL market is just really soft. I was just reading where a guy struggled to sell is 2008 SL55 for 6 months with 48k mileage for $36K. https://mbworld.org/forums/6094894-post3.html

The SL has got a HORRIBLE reputation for dependability. Lot's of known issues that are very expensive to repair. Most just don't want to buy a money pit. Yours is absolutely stunning. Good luck with you sale.

Mystery why it hasn't moved yet

It appears to be a very nice SL, but in the Phoenix area these are selling for about $18500 for a similar condition.

Yeah, sounds like the correct market pricing.

I cant agree with that. I had an offer at 23k a couple of weeks ago the day i first put it up for sale, i should have taken it. I have had several between 20-21 so i know i can sell it in the range any day of the week. I was expecting with the mileage and the warranty is was a 24-25k car. I believe i can get 2k back from the warranty so if it doesnt go in this auction which is the best deal on the internet if you really know these cars and that warranty then i will sell it for 21 without the warranty, cash the warranty in for 2k and enjoy the Ferrari and the garage space

have you tried craigslist? I put my 2005 sl with 49k miles and sold it for 23k the next day. Just from my research here a 2003 would scare me with the amount of problems they have. 2005 was in the shop a lot. Your car looks great. makes me miss mine.

Sounds like you have the plan. Why do you ask for our advice?

Robertpel9

Actually the advice helped. I did solid cragslist ad's as suggested and have several offer starting at $20,500 with no warranty which with the refund nets me 22k up to 22.5 with the warranty and its only been a day so i appreciate the help here sincerely



I feel good and maintain that well documented cars in the right color and mileage and condition will still bring the money. I paid about 3-4k over "market" for the F360 i just bought becuase of the documented history, condition, mileage and location. There is a price associated with getting what you want in the condition you want

Just an update, i sold the car today for $22,750, not great but not bad at all
