So, I had a CL600, sold it to buy an E550 4matic, which I'll probably drive this winter, then sell and get a CL600 again. Here's my question to those of you following prices: What's the typical rate of depreciation on these cars if no mileage is accumulating?

Let's assume a 2005 CL600 with 40,000 miles is $30k right now. What do you think that car is worth in March 2010, October 2010 and March 2011 - with no more miles?

My guess is about $3,000 every 6 months since there'd be no mileage addition.

I'm wondering if I should buy with the intent to sell next winter, or just plan to hold through winters and keep a winter sedan on hand.

keep it, why go though the hassel of buying and selling. plus if u keep it u know everything about the car but if u buy it u dont know how the previous owner took care of it.

An '05 CL600 w/ 40,000 miles will be closer to $40k than $30k.
