Looking for CLS 55 AMG..

I'm looking to purchase a CLS 55 AMG sometime beginning of next year.. Wondering if anyone could help me and send me Manheim auction wholesale prices for above average condition with mileage in the 20's or less please. Are the CLS 55 AMG's going to be cheaper in 2010?

Dude. Come on. CLS 55's are about at rock bottom prices now, jump in, get one, and post pics.

Start at Ebay:

CLS 55

CLS55

Post again after you buy one. Prices from $39-$59, most are clean, low miles.

yes I was looking for the best way to purchase one.. no one sent me Manheim prices though.. I'm looking for the best price possible because I'm on a budget and if its too much I'm going to have to go with an 07 CLS 550 instead..

I posted links to over 17 cars. The CLS 550 even more (48 listed right now) than the CLS55 being sold by dealers on Ebay as well, which is plenty for him to look at. Clean cars, inspected, low miles, full of options. Mannheim listings are not even needed.

Time to step up to the plate now.

Due to my post a few months ago I was told Manheim would be the cheapest priced CLS 55 AMG's so I was hoping if someone can help me out and shoot me those prices.. I would then know what price to aim for and know if it's in my budget.. hopefully prices drop in 2010

If you're not a dealer then what goods will Manheim prices do you? Nobody is going to sell you a car for auction value.

Not really my friend. Manheim prices are not always the cheapest. Look at the links I posted earlier, you are getting help to low priced clean cars, mostly from dealers. Prices are not dropping much more in 2010 due to the rate of depreciation, by rule of thumb the 2nd year is the biggest drop and after that slower declines.

Like Full Throttle posted above, no one will sell you a car at Mannheim prices. The seller will attach their fees to the cost. Personally, and many other can attest that getting cars through Ebay, autotrader, etc, actually came out the same if not better. In my case on both the CLS and R, I came out better than Mannheim and the cars were inspected at a Mercedes dealership before buying.

Some CLS55's are in the 30's- low 50's so are the CLS550's. How much lower do you expect? I am just curious, not being a smart a$$.

My budget is around 40-45k.. I'm looking for a black/black CLS 55 AMG with mileage in the 20's if not lower.. Perfect condition clean carfax guranteed no problems with CPO warranty still..

This is true Manheim is typically cheaper than most retail prices, but Ebay is usually in line with auction prices. I often Buy cars off ebay and sell at manheim.

And when do you plan on buying? you have been talking about this for months and months and months. If you wait until January prices are going to go up because its tax season.

with the new cls model/shape coming out late next year, the resale value of the current shape might take a hit then.

You can buy 2007 CLS63'S for 49-52 with low miles. A good and fair retail price on a CLS55 with low miles (25k or less) is $42-44k max, don't let anybody fool you especially with the new body coming out they will continue to decline in price 6-8k per year.

Thanks for being honest.. but I'm having trouble finding a black/black CLS 55 amg for $42-44k .. did you mean its going to be $42-44k in 2010 or not CPO? I've been checking yahoo autos, ebay, autotrader..

When's the new body coming out for sure? Is it looking better in your opinion?

asking price is one thinkg and selling price is another. some of the same cars that dealers/individuals have been asking 50k for have been sitting for months.

yes... in a few days it's 2010 and the car is another year older.

good luck!
