Considering an SL600
Well folks, my CLK500 lease is about up and I'm growing tired of the gymnastic routine required to ingress/egress my Diablo 6.0. Both will soon be gone, but I have begun a search in earnest for the right SL600.
Somewhat flexible on color, but Nav is a must and mileage must be below 7500.
Any ideas of what I should expect to pay? I'm seeing about $100K -$130k, right?

You can definitely find '04 600s for $100k. Sad, but true.

I think the those numbers are inline with the SL65...

Saw it...looks like he's the second owner (already) and the car has 13,000 miles. Too many for me and the fact that the car is so new but already has been through 2 owners makes me suspect.

None of the 2004s I saw for $99K had the Designo and Sport packages like this one. Whoever wins it is getting a good deal IMO, it still has all the factory warranty remaining.

I'd only go 2005 or newer because of the DVD navigation option.
Considering now ordering a 2006, but the delivery will take nearly 3 months.

If you are talking about the thread I started, the car I drove was at Tysinger Mercedes in Hampton, VA and it was a 2005 (it was mistakenly advertised as being a Designo, it was a Sport packed car only). I have never seen or driven the 2004 Sl600 Designo/Sport on Ebay. Sorry for any confusion.
