Quick sale,High 80's. You can find sub 10k mile 03's listed for low 90's that can be bought for 90 all day long. You have a good color and options but the problem is their are a ton of 03's for sale on auto trader,ebay etc. to compete with.

16 2003 SL55's on ebay right now...
Not the best timing for top dollar.

But with 21k on it, someone should be able to pick it up for a good deal!


Best of luck to you and your uncle.

Sadly, the SL55 is now yesterday's news so the depreciation will turn out to be heavy. SO what's it going to fetch? Low eighties?

Interesting to note that if you converted that back to euros at the current exchange rate, someone in Europe would bite your hand off, because the dollar price has not risen as the the dollar has fallen in value.

All Mercedes deprecate like a rock. At least here.

That, plus the added luxury tax in some countries (Denmark, Netherlands, ...) and one is ready to emigrate. I bought my '03 (MY) SL55 2nd hand for 110.000 Euro's. Which is 'cheap' compared to other Dutch SL55s for sale since I imported it from Germany (for 85.000 Euro's). In US$ that amounts to a whopping $143000!

That's what a social democracy does for you. Just be grateful you don't live in Australia, or worse, Norway.
