Gotta sell my baby....damn!
Well, this REALLY sucks. I've only had my car a few months, and I absolutely LOVE it...but the reality is...I need the money more than I need the car. Its either sell this car, or my 01 Acura CL, having 2 cars is a luxury I just can't afford right now, and the Acura has 130k miles, so its not going to bring me what I need to survive! Damn!
Sorry, thanks for letting me vent!
OK..so where should I post my car for sale?
And what do you think would be a FAIR price for my 96 SL500 Sport, triple black, EXCELLENT condition 94k miles with CD, perfect hard top, rolling rack, cover and top hoist?

Beautiful car and I feel your pain.
Everything looks good.
You have your region working against you on this one. The LA basin is probably second to Florida, maybe first from a supply standpoint.
High end $16K but if you want to move it, I think Red gave you the fair price you asked.
This is the hard part of ownership that we all dispise. Remember, others took a much bigger hit before you bought it.

Thanks guys!
Thanks...and its not really bad news regarding the money! Its just bad news that I'm forced to sell it! I LOVE this car!
I only paid 14200.00, plus tax and reg. And it came with the rack. Then a couple of hundred in motor-mounts and a transmission mount (the previous owner split the cost with me...nice guy! LOL) and 100.00 for the top hoist.
So..I won't exactly take a bath on it if I can get anywhere between 14-17 for it. I WAS kinda hoping it might go for more though, considering it's a real Sport, has chromes, low miles , and it was a Star-Mark Certified Pre-Owned car.
I guess I'll put it on eBay and see what happens! <heavy sigh>
Wish me luck...I'm goin' in....LOL.
Thanks again.

Thread bump here, but since i'm new and your guys are here....
I've done my research but how much do you think a 99 sl 500 34k silver on black w/sport package is worth? Its got a few scratches here and there but its in VERY nice shape other than that.
