Just remember, MB Dealers have priority on the available MB crop for used cars and lease returns and they have access to Mannheim Auctions... If the MB Dealers pass on a particular car, there's usually a very good reason... Check it out meticulously before you buy so you know what you are getting into...

There's a lot more to these prices: Buy fees, post sale inspection, green light , yellow light, red light, uni body, accident data, paint work, etc. I have seen many guys loose their azz at the auctions. Also the car should be inspected an ready for retail sale. IT'S NOT A GAME OUT THERE. They will take your $$ and run Good Luck

Honestly - even if the cars were cherry - how many dealers are going to go our and buy E55's to bring back and sell?

They lose value every day - heck - they'd be upside down by the time the transporter dropped them off. I think you'll see more nicer E55's and other luxury cars at auctions - the dealers don't want that kind of inventory and the lease companies or dealers want them converted to cash ASAP.

According to AMX questionnaire (I'm pretty sure it was AMX), their most wealthiest household will cut 20% of their discretionary spending in 2009. The average household will cut 10% in 2009. I'm pretty sure with the economy, they have already started and are cutting out more spending.

I have an acquaintance who's husband is GM for Honda. Honda is not selling cars and had to layoff a number of workers. Prepare for more V8's to be auctioned off or on the market. Also, most of the ALT-A loans have not reset. So we the worst has yet to come.
