How long until a mint used one comes around?
I love the new SL but the price tag new is staggering. When I picked up my 08 it was exactly one year old with 5,000 miles on it. Price was a steal at $70,000. I know the new model will hold it's value a little better but what do you think a 1 year old will run with low miles? If I can save 20 grand it would be worth waiting for.

I suspect a 30% drop on a year old SL550 is not out of the question. Remember, the first year depreciation occurs as soon as you drive off the lot. I'm talking two year depreciation on a year old car.
