With those mileage and options its not bad of a deal but I would say you could get them to go lower in price? Coming across one with that low of a mileage is hard to come by thats for sure.
$60,900 is out the door pricing right with everything included into the total amount?

Oh if thats the case I wouldnt even bother with that pricing. Maybe out the door its a so and so deal, nothing to be whoa over. I would go and haggle with them and have them drop it down to even mid $50's out the door and see what happens. Than I would probably consider. Trust me you'll find them out there but you just have to really search for them and in the long run you'll be happier. Dont jump on things to quick. I was working out a deal with a dealership when I was looking for mine which was about a year ago but they wouldnt negociate with me so I left and about a month later found a better deal and went for that...anyways to make a story short, that dealership still has that same car as of today and from than and now have dropped there price about $8000 from there asking price back than. Dealerships lose money on every car that sits there so if they dont want to work with you on a deal....I say screw them and let them lose more money on the car sitting there.

You picked up a 03 SL55 for $52,900 out the door? Where are you located? How long ago too? Im just curious as that is a ridiculous price on a SL55. I wished I could have found one for that low when I was looking. It also depends on where your located as well. Ive seen some SL500's going for about $10k less than cars in Cali when I was looking but didnt want to deal with the transportation, hidden flaws, hassle, etc...

Mine was not a CPO car. I bought it about 3 months ago from NXCESS in Houston.
It is a fully loaded 55 with Pano Roof, Keyless Go, Nav and all the other options minus parktronic. Paid $53k even.

Not sure i would pick up a benz which isn't CPO, since the most basic repairs are a fortune. the car i am looking at is has 7,000 miles, and certified til 100K, at $60,900. If I can bargain down to $55,000, then, i think that would be a killer deal considering the options, mileage, and one owner past.
