How much should i pay for a 2006 SL500??? 58K miles and white in Color.

Im debating on getting:


2006 SL500 58K miles white / 1 owner

2003 SL500 48K miles white 2 owners / has everything that the 2006 have except it has a panoramic roof and parking sensors both front and back.

Same price!!!!

Which should i pick????? HELP!!!

the first 4 pics are the 2003 and the last 2 are the 2006. Please help guys

Both are nice. I'd take the '06 verses a first year model '03. Check the carfax history too. Do either have keyless go? Love the keyless go...

The '06 has a much higher market value; so unless you are really jazzed with the Panorama roof, that's the one I would pick. I would expect to pay about $35K for this car.

want to own a late model SL out of warranty.

mdotpoker

I would get the 06.

06 and get an aftermarket warranty

Thanks guys ill be getting an aftermarket warranty anyways i already setup an appoinment with the delership about $5300 (unless there's a cheaper one) i need help on that too!!!. now regarding the price i think i can get the 06' car for 30k so what you guys think???? reasonable due to mileage???

mdotpoker

$30K would be a screaming deal. But $33K is reasonable. I would go with the chrysler factory plan warranty for $2K. http://www.chryslerfactoryplans.com/

so I'd choose carefully. And remember, a waarnty isn't going to come cheap since i's out of factory warranty. And they're going to want to inpsect it, so there's another bill fo those repairs they'll want made....good luck in the quest.

$5300 is a rip off!!

give me the $5300 and i'll warranty your car, lol

or you can just do what i would and call chrysler service contracts. good luck!

Ok if i get the warranty from chrysler will it cover all the major things that concerns me???? like the electrical and mechanical components specially the convertible top????

Cant stop saying enough about how great that chrysler warranty is . Worth every penny and more. Covers all the high priced parts in my 55. Just had top hydraulic cylinder replaced and it was fully covered. Michael Chase is sometimes hard to reach but a decent guy.
You dont have to go to a dealer you can use a small shop that you trust and as long as they are ligit it will be covered.

Will i be able to go to an mb dealership for services???? will it be covered???

The warranty covers everything on the car. I just had the ignition switch go out. That was $2K. I only paid my $200 deductible.(I chose this deductible there are also no deductible plans) It was serviced at MB of westminster which is also a Maybach studio. They just called up got an authoriztion # and away they went. You will have to get a pre purchase inspection but that shouldn't cost more than $100. When I bought my car the PPI found leaking ABC in the rear and I had the guy fix it before I bought it.

riannausa

Pre purchase inspection is basically taking the car to the nearest dealership and having them done right???? then ill just show that when i purchase the warranty??? also, is there a specific mileage (limit) that i need to have before they would insure my car???

mdotpoker

The PPI is checking for preexisting conditions. The warranty won't cover the ABC for example if it is found to be leaking before purchase and not fixed before delivery. I believe the milage limit is 60K but I'm not sure. Go to http://www.chryslerfactoryplans.com/ to get a quote or call Mike Case at 888-324-3464. My SL55 is an 03 that had 35Kmiles when I bought it last month.
