Mercedes Benz SL600 RENNtech V12 Sport SL7.4

In case someone missed my sled please check out this auction. What price do you think this car should trade for?

RennTech 7.4 Litre fully loaded with 16K miles. Definetely around $50K.

Yep.I would happily pay 50K for that car..It's a steal at that price..
Bound to appreciate in value for it's uniqueness...
You just have to find somebody competent to look after it and the parts
if needed....

SL500 2001 Formula 1 Edition;
I like it; I love it; I want some more of it!

I LIKE IT! I LOVE IT. I WANT TO OWN IT!

I don't think you are getting your money's worth on that auction.

If I had an extra $50,000 I would buy it in a second. But I've got a daughter in college and I am thinking of taking a job that would give me a pay cut (money isn't everything, you know).

How about this? I'll give you my baby 2001 SL500 (designo, AMG wheels and body; sport suspension with 48,000 miles and a 100,000 warranty PLUS, 30 hours of legal services (my rate is $270 per hour)?

All joking aside, it appears as if you are a person of means. You sunk about $100,000 into the car? Plus you are getting another car you are spending close to $200,000 on? Maybe you can just keep it as part of your collection. Rather than just get $35,000 for it

OR maybe you will do better to donate it to a car museum or other charity and take the tax write-off. You could probably make a reasonable claim that the car is worth some percentage of all the modifications you made, and maybe get a tax write off of $75,000 or more. You are probably in about a 50% tax bracket if you live in California and you can afford those expensive toys -- so, a $75,000 deduction would net you almost as much as a sale. Plus, you'd be helping a good cause.

Those cars are very rare. Worth owning if you can afford the maintainence.
