07 SL55 P30 Designo - Sold, 06 E55 Wagon, 04 CLK55A - sold
Am thinking about buying an '07 SL55...

Although I have a lot of fun in my CLK55 Cab, I find that I rarely need the back seats & I've always loved the SL's. How much should I be prepared to spend on a fully loaded one (incl Performance Package), CPO with 9500 miles? I wonder if the '09 models are going to absolutely kill it's resale in say, 4 years? Thanks for your help!

'06 SL600
I was just shopping '06/'07 SL55/600s and I'd say you can reasonable expect to get an '07 (with the AMG perf package) somewhere between $90-95k. The difference between the '06 and '07s and the readily available CPO cars lead me down the path of the '06s to save myself another $20k. I pick up my '06 SL600 today, and it was $68k (19k miles, warranty through March 2011).

BTW, the CLK63 cab was right at the top of my list during my search. For some reason, I ended up only having eyes for the SL...

See my post today in the topic "SL55 differences through model years" to find out major differences!

Good luck finding an '07 SL55 P030 with very low miles (<5k) and CPO in the low $90's! You may find one without P030 (very rare) at that price or high $80's but buyers pay a small premium for P030 (maybe $5-7k more).

Happy hunting!

You're totally right. All the $90-$95k ones I saw were either SL600s or non-perf package 55s...I totally glossed over that important part of the post!
