2019 S560 Cabriolet
Am I missing something?

I have a 2013 SL550 that I bought new as soon as they came out. It is a great car, but I have been looking at the S550 Coupe. My dealer has a new 2015 S550 that never sold. It is new, never titled, and has had no damage of any kind. It is loaded and sticker is $139K. They want rid of it, so they agreed to sell it to me for $99K.

On the surface it seems like a very good deal. given that I will not pay $130 - $140K for one of these, if i want one this is it.

Am I missing something?? I'd appreciate any insights.

The S550's are fantastic cars. Pricing seems right. See if they will throw in an extended warranty.

Good luck!!

For additional perspective, a MB dealer in West Palm Beach FL has a 2015 with about 300 miles and the same MSRP advertised for $109K.

When I run a '15 S550 Coupe through the Edmunds used car price tool, checking all options and with 500 miles it gives about $102K as a price.

Since you're getting a 4 years warranty, vs. balance of warranty in the 2 examples above, I also think $99K sounds fair.

Hope this helps.

Bill
