Looking for an SL55 (Edit: No longer looking!)
If anyone has any leads on a good example or is looking to sell, feel free to let me know! My search over the last 3 months has been largely fruitless thus far...
As far as a condition/value proposition I'm hoping to find something like a ~2005 with around 50k miles on the clock.
Thanks!

This one looks very nice to me. Ends in <6 hours, however!! https://bringatrailer.com/listing/20...ign=2019-04-01
Having an both an e31 Bimmer and an SL55, I can confirm that the SL55 is an incredible ride.

That was a beautiful car, but I've pretty much been avoiding looking seriously on BaT because everything on there seems to sell with a fairly substantial markup, for reasons I don't quite understand.

I purchased mine in Houston, saw another late model (07 or 08, definitely what you want) offered by the North Houston MB dealer last week. Not sure if it's still available, had less than 38k miles on it.

I don't know why people don't go for lease. There are multiple websites like cars.usnews or dsrleasing they offer the best minimum lease amount for new and old cars.

Hope I'm wrong and you are able to secure one soon.

Yeah, it does feel like these cars have pretty much bottomed out depreciation-wise over the last few years. I don't think they'll ever go up, but I do think well-kept and low mileage examples will have a decent market and will be snapped up pretty quickly.
Fingers crossed, I'm getting close to finalizing the purchase of a 2008 myself.
