I know it is, but im a dealer Im just passing it on Im not purchasing it bc SL's are near impossible to move right now but I've been a member on this forum for a while and Im pretty sure this is the cheapest SL65 I've seen even though its lemon lawed. Someone said something abuot one that went in the 60's, I never saw that. This is far and away the cheapest '06 I've ever seen it would easily be 25K more without title problems but I've only dealt with a few lemon law cars and they drove just fine when I got them. Again Im not an expert on them by any means, but the ones I dealt with were just fine.

There was one on ebay a week or so ago for 85k with something like 40k miles. I think the lemon law issue is a huge hard sell regardless of price. There are a ton of no story 65's that can be bought for 100k and they aren't moving either. Its sad because it really is a great car but the falling resale is horrible on the 65's. I took my beating last year!

I don't think thats a good deal at all. I can get a perfectly fine 06 SL65 with 15k miles for 98k. No reason to buy a lemon

As far as you know it's "perfectly fine".

The car might be fine now, but is Mercedes going to warranty a lemon?

Ok I get that your a dealer, I know you can get these for that. Im saying I can sell it for around $85K....remember I would still be making a little something......and theres always a little room for negotiation. I was just throwing it out there that I know I can get this car to you for around that number without you having to be a dealer which most people are not

If you are referring to me, I'm not a dealer

I went in to FJ to take a look at one a few weeks back... however I'm buried 10k on my lease so I'll have to wait a year

85 is a very good price for a clear title CPO but lemon... I would stay clear of that.

If you can find me a clear title '06 w/ under 20K miles for 85 I will give you a 5kK finder fee right now. I have never seen a sl65 at that mileage and price even wholesale, I have no idea what you saw but '06's with that mileage retail for closer to 120K. 6 months from now is a different story but right now there is no way to get an '06 for under 100K from a dealer w/ a clean title

There asking price was 109, I talked them down to 98. It was a silver 06 fully loaded with 15k miles.

It was at MBNL, it's sold now.
