For what it's worth, my dealer offered me a new CLS55 for $6K below MSRP and told me that a 4K mile used car traded in at high 70s. The upcoming CLS63 have anything to do with this? No idea. But as an example, a new SLR can be had at literally $40K off MSRP, I think that's a bit more "limited" than the CLS.

My 2 pennies.

I fail to see all the relevance here, guys were talking cars, who cares about depreciation or holding value, in my opinion if your buying a $100k car I would think we all have other investments that make us money. Just feel fortunate to be able to drive this amazing car, I know I sure do.

My point here is that I couldn't get the numbers to work on a $92K car. I have a better chance with an $86K car.....how much lower will it go when the CLS63's come out? I bet that car will go for $80K max.

The really annoying thing is that just when it gets to be stupidly cheap some journalist about 20 years from now (who is the son of a current owner) will write a story on what a great muscle car it is and then suddenly the price will go through the roof again because all the old farts (ex forum members) will cash in their retirement and try to get one to relive the glory days.

Naturally these will be the electric versions .....

That's probably about right, which is normal or even good.

I just got rid of a 05 lincoln Navigator, it cost me about 35k to drive it for 10 months.....who cares, it's only money.

Remember that the 1,250 are scattered worldwide, although I would assume that the majority are in the USofA, and then YES - most in CA and FL (imho)
