SL 55 AMG
SL55 ,SL65, SL63 trading post

I am seeing a lot of SL55's for sale and people having trouble getting their value from them. I lost my SL55 in a wreck but before the wreck I tested the waters for a sale and only had very low ball offers.

With this economy there are not many people who want to spend 40-50k on a 5 year old car coming out of warranty with a high cost of repair.

How about trading?

One option for those who do not need cash in hand is trading either for another car, or even better, other assets that are temporarily hard to sell but in a year or two will be worth even more money while cars will keep going down in value.

Like a lot of people in this economy I have a lot of assets but do not desire to spend much of my cash. I wouldn't mind trading assets at todays value even though my assets will be worth more in a couple of years.

I am sure I am not the only one who would enjoy doing some trading. Its more fun than cash anyway.

Anyone open to a trade, let me know.

Not sure why you would want a 55 when you can have a 65.

I have an 06 SL65 Silver/Charcoal, Pano roof, K40, 19k miles, Parking sensors, excellent condition, carbon interior, 7/70 MB extended warranty that starts this month for three more years or 50k more miles.

Open to reasonable offers new car on order.

Car is located in Fort Lauderdale, if interested call me 954-530-8043

I saw the BIN and I was super excited, then I saw the miles, if it was closer to 40k miles at that price, I would be on a plane right now

When you say "trading", do you mean your car? I have a 91 500SL and would like to get a 55SLAMG

With trading I mean anything of value. The economy is bad, its hard to sell for cash so trading various things for equal value may be the best over all value. I know a few R230's that have been for sale for over a year.

I recently put a bronze sculpture up for sale. This was valued over 45k, it sold for only 15k. In a few years it will be able to be sold for 45k again, but not right now.

As for me, I own around 500k worth of real estate domain names but you know realtors do not have any money now. I am working a deal to sell them en mass to a national realty company for around 1ook. If that does not work out I would trade them for a SL55.

Anyone want domain names? ForSaleAmerica.com ForSaletexas.com ForSalenewyork.com etc etc 48 of 50 states.
