depending on where you live as DIAMOND said...for 130s you can get an 05 SL65 with under 10-15k miles listed my dealers etc on ebay...also 05 SL55s should be around 100k not 115k

That is WAY too expensive. Offer them 95k. The car is going to be 2 years old very soon.

You can buy a brand new 2006( $95k-$100k) SL500 for $79k-$82k (see ebay for a ton of them at this price.. new) i'd think $118k would be the new price for a VERY well equipped 2006 "NEW" SL55.. $118k is a joke..

There is an '06 SL65 with 6,900 miles listed in Autoweek for $129,000. That appears to be a deal. Think about the poor owner only $60,00 in depreciation in a year.

When you think how much he makes to be able to buy a $200k car and sell it a year later without thought a few thousand miles later.. one doesn't feel as sorry for him..

I saw that ad as well and it sounds like a great deal but it has been running for a while. Most of the time when a deal like that comes along it seems too come with a story as well. If not, someone should look into this one!

I have seen a couple 65's for great deals, but if you read the fine print, or ask them, they usually end up being previously lemoned.

Oh c'mon... you know as well as me that anyone who would dump a car with that kind of depreciation hit probably couldn't afford it in the first place...

$118K is a rip. I'll sell you mine for $110K!

2005 SL55, 2000 CL500
SL55 Prices

I live in So. Cal
Been in the market for a SL55 for about a month.

Went and looked at this last night. Not bad.
Missing some of the bells and whistles. Parktronic, Etc.
Miles are a little high for a 2005. But the price is real world.

$ 100K is way too high. Cash is tight and getting tighter.
Prices on high end cars are going to go down like real estate is.

I have been looking at a new S550/S600. I have a silver/ash with 5,000 miles. The local Florida dealer has offered $90,000.
