URGENT, need help buying a sl65...

hi,

i found a new 06 sl65 (190k msrp) with 250 miles, black/charcoal with keyless go and parktronic. the dealer wants 160k plus tt&l or a one time payment of 75k up front for 24 month lease with 15k miles. any suggestions would be helpful.

thx

What sort of help are you looking for? The purchase price sounds good, the lease deal blows. What is the buyout at the end of the 24 months? At 160k after 2 years with 20k miles the car will probably be worth in the 115-120 range even though the msrp is 190k. The dealers aren't doing anyone any favors dropping 35k off msrp for the resale of these cars.

i didnt ask about the buyout price, i was more concerned about the sales price and Depreciation. i thought 160k was a little high with the 07's coming?

The price sounds pretty good for only 250 miles.
