2005 Sl55?
I currently have a 2004 SL55, but my dealer called and said that the new SL55 will have the upgraded sound and DVD NAV. So my question is, would it be pointless to sell the 04 and get the 05? and when will the 05 SL55's start to show up at the US dealers?

Depends how important the navigation system is to you. You will take a double hit, one on resale of the '04 and another on the price increase for the 2005 model. Between the two, you could be out about $15,000 (just a guess).
I hear that the new SL will arrive earlier than ususal, possibly in August.

sorry, but that would truly be a bad deal imo. it would be a lot better if you just save your money, and get a DVD nav installed for much much less, and if you want a better system get better speakers...amp, and subs...i dont see the point in upgrading to a 2005 model. GL with your decision.

This may keep it audible (my 04 SL55 has something along these lines as I can hear it) but it won't make the sound any better. As far as I'm concerned the sound will continue to be below the level of the rest of the car. I hope I'm wrong.
