absolutely great observation
The S class depreciates MUCH more than the CL/SL class because big sedans are in less demand
By late 2008 you will be able to get a S65 for low 100's no doubt
PATIENCE will pay off

The way I see it if you can get a new one and afford it why not. I can imagine (actually no I can't) what the F people bring an do in their cars. My car had 12 miles on it when I bought it in January and the remaining 2205 were put on with me in the driver's seat. Yeah you can save money but nothing beats a virgin V12 car with a full 4 year 50K warranty. Only you know how it's be driven and taken care off.

i second that!
you're gonna get screwed either way...whether you take it in the front or the rear.
i personally am not into taking it in the rear.
i'll pay the money and don't mind taking the first loss as long as i'm also the first to break it in.

if you want to play...you got to pay!
