I keep seeing this one, and I think it is on its third round of relisting....if it had the darker gray interior I would like it much better, and different wheels.

That is one clean 600. Although I am a big fan of the Panoramic roof, I would still get this one though. The joint is fully loaded with just about every option 
. Damn. Why are you selling 
?

Only willing
Only willing to sell it, if the price gets right, so far I have been emailed by numerous people explaining to me why I should take a lot less than I want for the car, their explanations didn't influence me. The two previous times I put it on, the auctions reached $45,000+-, not even close to what I would sell the car for. The listing fees are very small, so it is worth a shot to have it on there occasionally and just see what happens.

I must say you do have a very clean vehicle with tons of options, hopefully it finds a good home somewhere with someone that really appreciates what it is capable of. have you tried autotrader or cars.com? Our dealership usually gets good results on hard to find cars like these using those to reach out there for those who are searching. I will admit I checked OVE the other day and the only sl600 was a ninety something with a ton of miles, so these are getting to be a bit harder to find.

Since you are at a DEALERSHIP, what do you see as a SELLING PRICE for this car, I am curious.

For comparison, last fall I purchased my pristine 2005 SL600 w/12,500 miles on the clock and a warranty until Mid 2012 or 82K total miles for $45,500.00
Yours is a model year newer but 2.5x the miles. Not sure if you have an aftermarket warranty, but if you do, that's worth a couple grand. The RENNtech upgrade is worth close to nothing in resale value. I would think your car would be sell between 45-47K, if I had to take a guess.

I noticed that it looks like you have a suede headliner. Did you have that done? It looks really nice. My SL is not a pano either so that might be something fun to dress it up a little.

OVE is a dealer tool where you can buy and sell wholesale cars, it is one of the ways dealers can advertise units that they have been setting on, or something that is better in certain markets, IE a rwd pickup is a horrible vehicle for me to try to sell in nebraska this time of year, but might be worth a ton in Texas right now. You have a very unique car and trying to put a book value on it is near impossible. I was looking on autotrader and saw 2 04 sl600's, both had nice aftermarket wheels, one had good service history and 32k, he wanted 45k, but there was also one with 52k miles for 37k. The only price for your car is what someone is willing to pay for it. I would suggest advertising it on here, autotrader, cars.com, possibly dupont registry, and maybe even craigslist.
