Need advice from SL55 drivers/enthusiasts on price and specs.
Hi, a friend of mine is selling their 2006 SL55 AMG with 15k miles in excellent condition and said they would sell it to me for 45k. Im trying to figure out if this is a great deal, a good deal, or a fair deal. I have done some research and I know the KBB private party value is 50k in excellent condition, and MSRP dealer starting value is about 54-55k. Any input would be appreciated, and also if someone could tell me the major differences between 2006 and 2007 SL55 AMG i would appreciate it. Seems like a HUGE price difference in resale value even with more miles on a 2007 compared to 2007 and im wondering why. thanks

Because i think they did a minor refresh on the 07 with different wheels - not positive...I would take this deal - especially if you know the person you bought the car from...
However, warranty will be out soon - may not be worth passing up a CPO offer...

If this deal is for real, you better jump on it before they wise up. Or, for the same money, you can get a 2005 SL55 with 40k miles.

Doesnt matter who you know, or what you think. You have to get the car inspected my a MB dealer, get car fax history, and MB service history since it was purchased.

I've been looking at 06-07 SL55s the last 3 months, and bought an 07 2 weeks ago. That is a very good price for a low mileage 55. Is it still within a month of going out of warranty so that you can get the M-B extended warranty if you wish?
Even though mine is still in warranty, I had a non-associated MB dealer perform a PPI, of course did a Carfax, and checked the service records. What color, what interior and what options? There were several wheel choices, pano roof, ventilated sets, xenons, voice control, etc available.
