I was at my dealer Autohaus today for a minor repair to my car, and while waiting, as usual wen't to the showroom.
They have three (3), SL55's with hand printed signs on the windshield:

WAS $195,000, NOW $159,000

Still $36,000 over MSRP.
I am waiting patiently.:p

Yup, the market is getting softer. My dealer called me today and said they Black SL55 they tried to get $30,000 over for was still on the showroom floor and they would now gladly take $7,000 over.

vraa

market getting softer? HAHA thats like the market just went on a waterbed!

I have been looking carefully the last few weeks. Bought an Sl 55 today for 15 k over sticker.

Brilliant Silver with Ash interior......all options except ventilated seats.tire pressure monitor and parktronic.

vraa

the seats woudl be SL3 Comfort package right?

btw: niiice car Mr. Lee! you'll have LOTSA fun with it!

Lee Ferguson

The comfort package is only available on the SL500. The AMG 55 comes standard with the fancy sport seats. The ventilated seats (which are part of the comfort option on the SL500) are an option on the AMG55

Maybe the pigs that screwed people out of cars will get hurt!

Yes the Markret is really light now. I just started looking for a brand new 55 and I just missed paying Sticker on one. By the way how do i post a picture on the site? I can't fig it out.

On your "post reply" page there is a "browse" button where you can select photos that you have saved in your files. ie. "my documents", or "my pictures", etc.

Thanks for your help i think i figured it out!:p
I wanted to see where i would find these rims. If anyone could point me in the right direction. In the Long island, New york area.Thanks!

vraa

those are Brabus Monoblock VI's and AMG Dual SPokes right?

Harris

The one on the left is Brabus Mono VI multi-pc which you can order from Brabus NA or their dealers. The one on the right is the Styling IV multi-pc which you can order from your local parts dept or Autoclass.

The rims are : (on the right) AMG Style IV Two piece 19". They are available in silver or chrome. AMG recommended 8.5X19front and 10X19 rear. Tires: 255/35/19 front 285/30/19 rear

Rims on the left: Brabus style VI come in several sizes

Both are available on the web, sometimes found on sale. Use google and you will find both if you punch in the names I have given you.

I just ordered the (silver) AMG Style IV Two piece wheels for my SL 55 due to be built this week for March delivery. $5818.50 less $600 for the takeoffs. Michelin Pilot Sport tires in the above sizes included in this price.

Interesting they would only give you $600 for the old wheels. They cost nearly that (about $520) each if you want to replace one... and that's just the rim.

Gooch

Thanks VERY MUCH 97twinturo, U have been very helpful!!

Wolfman

This is too little, even for a Mercedes dealer...

Unless you don't want to bother, I would just take them and sell them on Ebay; they should get you about $1500 with tires...

YOU OVER PAYED..BIG TIME!

Mr. Xristo

15k is the average market premium. Not bad if you ask me. Especially if you do not wish to wait.

theine

I don't think that 15K over MSRP is too much on a SL55, if you are not willing to wait.
Anything over that would be.

Gooch

The market has dropped so much that I've sen two at sticker price! in the last couple of weeks.

gbahri

My dealer has always had every car at sticker price.

Gooch

Which dealer is that ?:
