Mclaren SLR for $259K!
I was searching around on autotrader.com, and I found this:

A 2005 McMerc SLR for only $259K
. This economical crisis has really taken its toll on supercars. Its hard to believe that just a few years ago SLR'S were being sold for 1-2 mill. I guess soon I will be able to afford my favorite car.
P.S, the only flaw of the car is the rims. They gotta go.

Its a lousy color and it has over 10k miles. Of coz the price would be low. Think about the previous owner or owners probably already abuse the hell out of the car.
HAHAHA

"Exotic" cars in general don't hold their resale values, the exception being Ferrari's which seems to increase in value the older they get. A couple of factors work into this, one being exotic cars are usually driven very short distances in a very short amount of time (hard driving). With most of the exotics you can also add up crazy maintenance bills and because they are driven hard you need to replace things earlier.
The SLR does have a few good things going for it, they can be worked on by any MB dealership, the parts are readily available, and they can be used as daily drivers. The downside is the car is way over priced for what you get, its not all that fast when compared to other cars in its class, and honestly to the untrained eye its hard to tell it from an SL. Good news is the SLR is dead and a new car is on the way, less expensive, and still the same performance.

The only SLR'S were sold in the mill are the one that auction off for charities. Dealers in San Diego were having problems selling it at just retail prices. Mercedes were also short of about 1000 cars in their total production numbers world wide due to no demand.
