As most of you know, I ended up cancelling my order for my beloved Black Series due to many delays in the production for my car...my dealer sensing I was bailing on the MB came through for me on a SLS with an offer I could not refuse. I picked it up a few hours ago and finally went out for a tour. Fun, to say the least, anyway I am not going anywhere and will stick around this forum and section as I have developed a lot of friendships here.

I suspect you cancelled the BS so as not to have to deal with the darn orange side markers. The markers on the SLS actually look perfectly matched to the car.
Looking forward to your continuing participation on this forum (and more pictures and driving impressions, please).

Congratulations to the OP, mine's almost here as well.
I don't see any SLS's going for $90k right now. Do you? There are two year old SLS's for sale that have only lost $20k (or just 10%)...I would say its worth it.

I was told by salesman that all AMG's lose 50% in the first 2 years with residuals... is this not true?
Either way its a beautiful car no doubt. I guess it just depends on a persons portfolio.

who in their right mind would buy a 2 year old sls for 180k when they could get a brand new one for 200k?

The stability of the prices so far are why I ordered new instead of pre-owned.

Rage2 and Carac, you guys are well informed, people such as Merc63 are not, sorry Merc63, not hitting you at the knees, but if I listened to any car salesman then I should have gotten the new Camaro LS1 as it is the best car in the world and borderline exotic???
Look, any car is a waste of money, period. Maybe this car might have a chance of not losing a whole lot as this is what the marketplace is showing right now, but getting an exotic(supercar) or a C63 Black Series is a chance to own and drive something that stirs your soul and lets you forget those bad days sometimes. Its a passion, not an investment, but it is an undescribable feeling that these types of cars give you. I for one, dont regret it, especially when I hear these motors that AMG has built us. My 2008 C63 was the best car I had ever owned and it made me feel things inside that no other car did. AMG was able to hook me and I becamed borderline obsessed with their products.

Not that most people that buy AMG's care anyways. Cars aren't investments.
