Haha... for sure! I'll be really happy once the deal goes through! Right now just waiting for the funds to clear on the SL I just sold so I can send the cash to the Ferrari seller! If the Ferrari experience goes well.. then the next car is gonna be a 360 spider! (haha, gotta make more money to afford that one!). If not, then back to an SL.. but 65's.. My broker predicts by Christmas an SL65 should drop to about $100K since right now they're about 110K on the wholesale market for '05's

damn i'm gonna cry! i can't believe how how much depreciation our cars took. makes me never want to buy MB again. i'm scared to think of the day i trade my 55 in and they give me like $30,000 for it. bmw's hold their values so much better. i think the SL's are dropping at about $1200 a month due to depreciation, but you sold your car for only $80,000! ouch. hope your ferrari makes up for it. come pick me up!

The problem is the factory rebates!! They're giving between $15,000-20,000 OFF of new SL55's.. So you can pick up a new one for about $110-115K..

I'm looking forward to possibly picking up an SL65 though sometime next year for under 100K.. And to think! Those cars are over $160K+ New!!
