Can you say price drop....

not an SL55, but how about these when they drop to this price range. I personally drove one for around a month and they are utterly amazing cars, the only problem is they use even more gas than my 55 and I didn't think that was possible

Assuming it is as represented, that is a very good price. When I was looking for a similar car six months ago, the lowest price was $120,000+. Make certain that you perform a PPI before purchasing. Good luck!

I had a W12 Phaeton which made the depreciation on that CGT look acceptable.

............That is not bad. Those cars are less expensive than a CL65 when both are brand new. Now you can get a CL65 for $60K.

You name it i've had it or got it...
well it is the mileage that is insanely high.....but not to defend the price drop but look at all 05s in this class then say "price drop".

05 Bent CGT 180ish sticker
05 Aston DB9 170ish sticker
05 Merc CL65 180ish sticker

current value

05 bent 110ish
05 db9 100ish
05 cl65 70ish

all these cars drop a lot....but the cl65 takes the cake by far...
