I mean that's a near 50K price drop in one year.

Think it's ??

Car on Auto Trader

Once these drop under 100K.....I want one sooooooo bad.

Yeah, that's more than likely genuine, I'd think someone could score it for $113K, but yeah, they have dropped that much, amazingly good value. Could you imagine buying a new one? OUCH

well remember that one CL65 that was posted then the clasifides for 110K!!! and i think it had like less than 10K on it and it was an 04/05!!!!!

i just found a cl65 for 97k with 17k on it! jeeeeez ill wait around for another year and see what i can pick one up for

sorry i was a little off but still,98k?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Merce...02091318QQrdZ1

It's damn good price for what you're getting but if you dont need it right at this moment Id wait til the 07 S65's have been out more than a while, like say fall, by which time these 05-06 W220 S65's should be priced even lower.

Me too! I cannot beleive that next year I maybe able to grab a 65 for high 80s with under 15k miles!

Prices are falling fast, Old S-class for someone that can afford that price is not too cool to have..

New body changes do that to a car..

I could have bought a S65 with 6k miles from my local MB dealership for 110k.. (remember I am a wholesale dealer) I passed because the time involved in selling and the rate of daily depreciation they are taking.. Too risky.

Its sad MB waited so late in the W220 body to make the S65 and then put out the W221 the next year.. Thats like a big "F... You!" to everyone who purchased a W220 S65 new.

W220 S classes are dropping very fast at the auctions,,

and dealers are selling the new 65 for kia kind of mark up... oh well, guess people never learn.

There is a new 06 going for 140K in a dealership near here.

Good price, but I bet it can go lower.

damn the MB depreciation values!!! i took a HUGE hit when changing from my SL500 to SL55.

2006 S350

It's not so much the body style change... As a rule of thumb, V12's have twice as many engine parts and twice as much depreciation as their V6 counterparts.

Seriously, most 12's have ~50% three year residual. The W221 S65 will be selling for the same prices this time next year.
