beautiful car!

i have had my eyes on this model for awhile, the rear seating area is truly limosine quality.if i ever take the plunge it will be black on black though. the depreciation is sickening!. i dont know which is harder to justify. $100,000 depreciation in 4 years or a $60,000 price tag for a 5 year old car! either way this is a diamond of a MB.

nice car, lacking the heated and cooled rear seats.

I don't understand why they didn't do the stitched leather airbag for the 65.

Look at the BMW Alpina B7's depreciation. Sickening as well. We had an 06 750i and its value depreciated like a rock for the first 3 years of ownership.

I didn't realise heated rear seats were an option on the 65s! Surprising!

Nice looking 65 though...still priced way too high. Even low miles can't help the depreciation, you can get W221 S65s for not a whole lot more, albeit with a few more miles...

I was a bidder on that car when it was at the dealer auction. It sold for $50K plus fees (~$900). Nice car.

I buy cars to order for people and deliver them for for 5% over my cost. So you can see how much profit there can be on a rare low mile AMG!
