IMO this is par for the course. Specialty nameplate cars (AMG, M, S, etc.) are investments not in monetary return but driving pleasure. Couple that with aftermarket mods and one could become quite sad if he or she was expecting a lot in return (cashwise). Of course there are exceptions like some Ferrari's but those are what we call in the business "one off's". I can already get an M6 (2006) in the mid to high 70's with low/decent mileage. I will never expect to get all, if even some of what I have put into my car in regards to cash. But everyday is a great day when I start, drive, and park my E55.

I agree... Driving the E55 worth every depreciating dollars! In the end, it's ONLY MONEY!
