2004 SL 600 market value ???

im in the market for a sl 600 and have come across several that have been

bought back due to strict CA. lemon laws and for stupid minor reasons like park assist problems...not major

my main concern is how bad will that affect my re-sale value since i would be obligated to disclose this info

the cars factory warranty and maintenance is still in place like every other car ..

what do you guys think should i run? should i buy with extended warranty?

i do have a friend that has offered to take me to the auction high line sales for a reasonable broker fee...but these cars dont run at the auctions that often in the north-east

i respect you knowledge and look forward to your thoughts

thanks

I don't know the answer to your question about pricing, but I would suggest going for the '05.

They changed to the MOST wiring and have an updated DVD command system. Thats pretty much the main diff.

In my opinion the change to COMAND and its wiring is no reason to go for a 2005 over a 2004. All else being equal, sure...Get the '05. But I wouldn't pay a premium for it.

I was looking at '03 and '04 500s on eBay last summer. The cars that had been bought back seemed to be selling at a 10-15 percent discount.

I don't think the 03/04 can play MP3 cd's/dvds either (could be mistaken). I guess it depends on what you care about.
