IMO - you should sell it while the secondary prices are still doing well. MB is producing SL55s at a breakneck pace. apparently, many dealers will have cleared their wait lists before the end of this year - apparently some before the end of Q3. we're starting to see a healthy number of them now on the market. i'd make hay while the sun was shining. once the wait lists are gone, the secondary market prices won't hold - in part because the primary market prices are going to weaken (witness the 996TT market).

my two pennies, worth precisely what you paid for it, and not a farthing more.

My dad recently sold his SL55 with 930 miles for 134,000. The sticker price was 129,000 before taxes. I would say anywhere around 2-6,000 oversticker is well priced.

SL7.3? As a 2003 or 2004 model? Have not heard of that model yet in the new body style.

Is this car being imported for you?

Mr Joro - are you considering the Mercedes SLR as a future purchase? I read first-drive review in UK magazines Autocar and Auto Express today. Seems this car will be a stunning experience. Sadly no URLs available for reviews.
