2005 SL65 w/6800 miles What is it worth??

I ahve a chance to buy a 2005 SL65 w/6800 miles What is it worth??

It is Black and in good shape. Good not prestine. I was offered the car for $150,000 is that a good deal? I looked around and I think I should not pay more than $140-$145K for it??? What do you all think? If I pay $150,000 I am sure it will go down to $120K but 2003 SL55's are selling in the $100's???

something fast
I would say the car is worth $140-$145k with those miles. You can buy new 2006 sl 65's for $8-9k off window already. So an used 05 with almost 7k miles should have a nice discount. 2003 sl 55s can be bought for high 80's andd low 90s.

That is what I thought. There is a new 65 with 396 miles on it on EBAY for $170,000. I will offer $140,000 for the car and see what happens?

The 2003 SL55's are all coming off lease now and are going in the mid to upper $70's depending on mileage and condition/options.The 2005's are going for around $100-110K here in SE FL where they are almost common.

Every one I see at a great price is either a MB buy back or has a branded title. I haven't seen any low mile no story cars in the 70's and I look all the time. A link would be great!

Do you guys think an SL65 in the mid 150's is a decent deal, or are they basically cars that no one wants used and will continue to drop? There are tons on the market now and I feel like jumping on one but for the same money the Gallardo is looking really good as well. I know someone here went from an SL65 to a Gallardo a while ago, I would like your opinions now that you have driven both for a while.


Thanks
