Could everyone please stop trying to provoke an argument? First off I'm 100% sure that everyone here that actually owns a BS can afford to write off the depreciation and second we probably all expected it. I know I did. I can afford a 70k sale today if I needed the money but the fact is BS owners for the most part aren't hurting for cash. Dealers are killing the price at the moment trying to unload year end inventory, not real owners.

Euro, think about it for a moment, Chuckz is not a noob here on the Black Series board.
Does that make you wonder who might be a noob in this 'hood?
Noob, that cracked me up!

I'd most like seeing us get back to productive discussions. The economy is crappy, and that falling water level makes all boats ride lower. Personally, I expect my car to depreciate to $25,000 before I sell it with over 100,000 miles on it. That will be in about 10 years. The specific year that it bottoms out is less significant to me.
If prices were high, I wouldn't sell, because there is nothing else I want more. With prices low, I congratulate all the smart and lucky souls who can take advantage of the current circumstance.
I am old enough to recall when vintage Can-Am cars could be purchased for $17,000. Yes, I bought one at that price in 1981. I had passed on a 1965 Shelby Mustang priced at $5,000, and earlier couldn't make the reach to an original Ford GT40 priced at $12,000 (my offer of $11,000 was declined in 1971).
Everybody who purchased those under-priced cars was a happy customer. If you can buy a BS at $70,000, congratulations. If they fall to $60,000 (which I expect), and that makes it possible for some lucky soul to step into one, I am happy for you. Welcome to the club. But, can we please stop paying attention to mindless idiots who lurk the internet just to screw up everybody else's day? I paid full sticker for my car, and am a satisfied customer. AS

I get great satisfaction knowing nobody else has screwed with it.
It seems that the current "poser buyers" are acting like buzzard's on a fence.

I didn't think my comments were hateful. I just love seeing all these high priced cars tank. Sorry if you personally took offense. It was a blanket statement...I wasn't picking on just one BS owner, but rather all of them.

No one is "arguing" with you, retard. You have no point other than the ignorant/selfish comment about the economy, you've admitted that you don't want a Black Series and you have nothing productive to offer regarding the topic at hand. So, please, pretty please....do us all a favor, STFU and get lost.

If your not interested in a BS (for what ever reason - looks -not being able to afford one - whatever ) then why do you persist hanging out on the BS forum. If, as you say you are more of a CLS person then please go to that forum and leave this one. Sounds to me like you would love to be like most of us that ACTUALLY own one; but for what ever your motive may be; jealously perhaps, you persist on being a major PIA. I don't care if you have been around along time on this forum. You earn respect you don't get it by just being there. I bet if you played sports on high school or college you sat the bench and then tried to impress eveyone with you stories of how you played in the big game. People like you that just try to insite discontent have issues that go deeper than car envy. I hate what you are trying to do to in this forum but in a larger sense I pity you.

I hang around here because I think the BS is an awesome car. Overpriced but awesome. I hang around the C63 forum because I think that car is awesome. See a pattern yet? Of course I'd love to own a BS.....what MB fan wouldn't but thats not the reason why I posted in this thread. I posted here because there were alot of cry babies that hated to see their car depreciate and trust me, I went through that phase when my CLK55 tanked. I learned a valuable lesson from that, cars depreciate, case closed, suck it up and move on. I came here with an attitude that this bad economy is great for car buyers and I hope it continues to tank. Sorry that rubbed you guys the wrong way but I will not differ on that stance. I hope this car market falls through the floor. I love great deals, what can I say.

I'm not going to leave because a bunch of people with less than a thousand posts between them tell me to. I've been here to long to fall for that crap. Yes, respect is earned but I"m not here for your respect, no offense. If you want mine then you are the ones that will have to earn it. I speak my mind no matter how abrasive it may be.

You need to get your stories straight. You say your a "CLS fan" in a previous post and then you complain about your phase when you "CLK55 TANKED" Wow ! go figure. In case you haven't looked, your car is 6 six years old and the others you list are 10 years old. If you were looking for an appreciating investment you are "as dumb as you seem" Then you state that you hang aroung the C63 forum. You state "Of course I'd love to own a BS.....what MB fan wouldn't" but all you do is complain about them being overpriced. Well- maybe to YOU they are over priced but to most of us the ACTUALLY own them "maybe not" This is my favorite quote from you "Yes, respect is earned but I"m not here for your respect, no offense. If you want mine then you are the ones that will have to earn it." Trust me when I tell you this - it is for your own good and you should learn from it. NO PERSON ON THIS FORUM RESPECTS YOU OR YOUR OPINIONS AND CERTAINLY NO PERSON GIVES A HOOT ABOUT IF YOU RESPECT THEM. - Get a life !

Yep, and 8 years from now the OG Black Series guys from "the class of '08" will be educating the hotshots who own year 2017 Benzs and the 2017 guys will be squawking saying the OG's are jealous and can't afford these fine cars.
Well this old guy knows the BS market is tanking and that the earth's yearly trip around the sun doesn't seem to take as long as it used to and before I know it, a BS will be parked in my garage- for a severely discounted price.
BTW, this is possibly the most interesting thread this pretentious BS forum has seen.
