Why don't you allow us to have first dibs on your "fairly new" cars when you sell?
Too much hassle? or getting a real good deal with your dealers?
Thanks

really ??? i guess you don't question things when you buy cars . most smart people queston why because maybe ther is a problem , maybe it was wrecked already or maybe it doesn't live up to the hype . if i'm going to shell out $100k+ for a car , i can promise you that the questions will flow from my mouth

Or maybe he wants more room in his garage and it's no knock against the car itself.
I admit, I'd probably ask the same question. But, remember, if someone's going to withhold the fact that the car has been in an accident, asking them isn't going to make them less of a liar.

Awesome looking car with the right options but I doubt it will sell at 135K. Dealers still have some sitting on the showroom floor.
I am currently sitting on the side line and I think I foresee 100K C63BS in the not so distant future.

Not as many on the market as there used to be. I was once tracking ~11, now we're down to 4 or 5. They've been selling for around MSRP, so far.
I suspect the C63 BS will hold value a bit better than the CLK63 BS thanks to AMG/MBUSA bringing 1/3 the # to the US.

2013 C63 Black Series
There are about 5 at MSRP on the market....autotrader, ebay, etc.
I agree that you will see some at $100k soon, but not without miles. It would be someone who buys, puts a couple thousand miles, then decides its not what they want.
Part of the reason I pulled the trigger on my 2013 is that I do think that the rarity in numbers will hold the value and the depreciation curve a bit better than typical...especially for those cars with low miles.
I think that someone with a ~3k mile or less pristine BS will be able to get close to MSRP in the used market once there are no more on lots...

Supply and Demand, and there is definitely not enough supply for all those eager to own one.
I am also guessing the same ad you GrnLantern, and its also up to the owners to realize that, and well, keep the prices up - where they belong, IMHO.
Take a look at the old school Supra Turbo, for some reason, the 1998 models (119 made for US) always sold for MSRP, even 10-12 years later regardless of miles, lower mile Supras caught a premium. Thats what I see happening here.
I had a 98 Supra Twin turbo, and it sold for over MSRP when I sold it, back in 2004.
Of course we all have to sit and see where it goes.
If I had the Matte Blk/Blk Fully optioned car, I'd be asking 150. I hope the OP gets the most he can get.

So, yeah, as Faraz said, supply vs demand, and because of that I expect values to remain stable.
(And don't get me wrong, the CLK63 BS is an incredible beast. Absolutely incredible.)
