I just worked up a 27mo/12k miles lease on this car @ the $129,999 selling price! The payments, with drives only came out to $2240 plus sales tax & this is based on Approved Credit with MB Financial.

Valid point, but used cars with 2.5k to 8k miles are going thru high-line auctions for between $107k to $115k. I think the price is fair for a brand new car, but it is all in the eye of the beholder.

Yeah let me run right out and spend 129k on a car that will loose 20k in value inside of 7 minutes of ownership, but hey, go get that new baby! What a steal.
I dont know why people would ever buy a new Mb, I love the cars just not the mega depreciation. Might as well play the penny stocks!

I agree that a car is not something to plan your retirement on, but it is all relative. People that can afford the car, already have their portfolios pretty well stocked with things that will take care of them in the later years. Also, that is the biggest reason that we lease so many new cars these days. I believe that the general public has realized that this is the only way to not lose their shirt in depreciation!!

Just because a car is near $200K when new, doesn't mean that the customers won't care about depreciation because they have the ability to buy a car of such caliber, a hit like these cars have taken is a HUGE factor in the sales records, no one can deny that fact.

2006 S55 & 97 T88h Supra
Beautiful car, when i was in the market for a s55, i was debating between that flint and the black. Good luck with the sale. When i was running my parents restaurant in La Palma, i'd always run into techs from MB House of Imports eating lunch. BTW, is the 2006 blk cls55 still for sale? Got any pics of that marcus?

I think anyone making a purchase of this caliber cares about value & depreciation, but at the end of the day choose to buy/lease the car anyways. When this S65 came out, everyone was aware of the new body around the corner & had to have known in the back of their mind that this car would drastically drop in value (as with the majority of V12 Benz's). Also, the factory was well aware of this due to the very limited number of cars that were produced. In the end, we buy what we want & can afford. Also, some people have to be the first on the block with the newest toy, no matter what the cost and some of us patiently wait to take advantage of a better situation.

How much is the Engine worth?
This V12 screams, is well tested and provides F1 speed and the comfort of a S class. The new body style is not worth 60k prenium IMO..This is a good deal for someone looking at new fully loaded 550's...pay maybe 5k more and get a V12, with over 700lbs per foot of torque

Dealer here (Naperville IL) still has 2 W220 S65's left, one Black and the other the same Grey as the one in this thread. They've been sitting for months now while the W221s come and go.
