You are a ways off. Only 05 SLR you will get for near 270 will be high miles with no warranty left. 05-06 SLR's actually sell pretty close to the same depending on warranty remaining. A nice 05 with low miles is still in the 290-305K range.

I can't afford
It's not that it's soft, you just have to wait for the right buyer, especially with that color combo.

Yes, Silver is also less expensive than black, not to mention how much warranty does that car have left.

I would triple check on that if I were you. I was going to buy the Benz Auto Show SLR. Car was perfect, no miles, warranty was expiring in like 2 months, and BenzUSA would NOT extend any warranty.

Replacement in SLR costs over $100k,that's too much to stomach for me....

It may be the highest mileage SLR in the US, but having "high or higher" mileage is not a criteria for the overall BELOW average condition of the car. Obviously the car has been driven and was not taken car of.
I'm sure once the dealer gets his hands on it and fixes whatever problems it has it will still carry an outrageous premium even with the "higher" mileage.

I sold an '05 Silver/Red (which is the best color combo for resale) about a year ago for $325,000. It only had 77 miles on the odo, but was 'titled' for about 2 years. These cars come with a 4 year 50K warrantee. Original sticker was $465,000.

Silver/red is NOT the best combo for resale. They are plentiful. The most sought after combo is the black/red, followed by black/black, followed by silver/red and then all others.

I beg to differ. I'm an M-B dealer and a broker specializing in exotics. There is a MUCH higher demand for the Silver/Red (Silver Arrow PKG) combination in MY 2005. There may be more out there in this combo, but it is probably because more people ordered the car this way as it was the most desireable model. Any '05 with Black interior or Grey interior did not have the $9,900 'Silver Arrow 300SL Red Leather' option. Cars with this option are in higher demand.
