Where does everyone see SLS AMG coupe values moving in the future?
I know the black series is only going to go up.
What I'm wondering is if anyone has been watching prices over the last year or so for a standard SLS AMG coupe and has an idea of the values staying where they are. I'm not really wanting the value to go up (fine if it does though), but I would love a car that doesn't depreciate that I can enjoy the heck out of.
The prices are steady now. Low miles cars are becoming harder to find. Probably 5-7 years more before they start to really go up. Keep in mind they've only been out of production for 5 years. Still a "new" car. Only 45-50 cars on market now. Used to be 110-125 just 2 years ago. (US Market)
Agree with Newport. I've been following the prices for a few years and it seems $150 is the typical low asking price. There have been a few in the $120/$130 range but they typically have very high miles or accidents reported. I'm not sure what they're actually trading at, but seems the floor (asking price) is around $150 and has been there for a few years. I would think another 5-10 years before any meaningful change or if Mercedes comes out with a future gullwing/SLS/300SL that's $500+.

Thanks everyone.
So Tjandegi, you mentioned very high miles.
I'm wondering what high miles is for an SLS. I do see some for sale with accidents reported that are down about $10-20K over the others.
Mileage seems to be between 20K to 35K for an accident free SLS in the $150K range. Now if only I could find one in white...
I view higher mileage as above 35k but some have come up in the 40k/50k mark. I think I recall one being above 60k. Of the two listed for sale for $135/$140, they seem to be well priced but probably had lower MSRPs. The one for $145 is supercharged, which is great value but higher risk of something going wrong. If was looking for one, I'd probably try to stay below 30k miles and would focus more on the color/options. The two rarest options are the carbon ceramic brakes and the carbon fiber engine compartment.
I'm not aware of any resources available for tracking private sales from dealerships. Best option might be auctions but probably very few sales per year.
