Yes, it's a combination of the size of blue sky required between the new and secondhand price needed for punters to buy used plus the increasingly large margin dealers demand to take the car back, prep it, warranty it, carry it as stock and give them a profit as well. My SL55 has taken a bath, maybe 60k now, only consolation is that an SL600 would have been worse.

Did your car suffer because you bought it in France?

Buying in France saved me 6K, so the drop would have been much worse if I'd bought it locally. Surprised my local dealer would even trade it as an import. First Mercedes I've lost such big money on but I believe the new Bentley will do a lot worse in three years...

Nonetheless, The SL still a fine looking and fundamentally good car. I rate them, and would buy another.

Do you know what's involved in replacing the cluster?
