the cls500 has drop from 72000 to 64000 dollars with 7000 to 15000 miles on the cars thats selling right now on ebay and autotrader. at the end of this year they will be sell at 50000 to 60000 dollars the cars now has lost there value and for someone to buy a mercedes,jaguar,bmw,and audi i know that in the long run there feelings are hurt because the next guy just got 10000 to 15000 dollars car cheaper then the guy buying it for 72000 to 80000 dollars i think it's not fair

well are you sure your comparing apples to apples?? don't compare a used almost bone stock model to a fairly optioned one...also a 8g drop for 15k used car isn't bad at all, i don't know not one non exotic car that doesn't drop as soon as you drive it off the lot, in some cases 20% in value the moment you take it off their lot... considering its a 12% drop with 15k miles, its actually very good... and why would their feelings be hurt long term? if its long term they're looking at enjoying the vehicle for as long as they can, not worrying about how much the car depreciates... what your saying makes no sense at all of course you can go ahead and buy a over mileage cls with 15k for 10g's cheaper not knowing how the car was ever driven... but you can make the same case for anyone buying any new car... if thats the case why buy new at all then

As a buffer, I refused to move from an E into the CLS for anything but invoice or lower. Actually got it for invoice (ordered AUG05 – delivered OCT05).
