These issues of having to find a buyer are almost totally why I lease and the other thing is I don't want to bother with protection wraps and other things anymore. I'm treating these vehicles like the depreciating assets they are use and return and I'll always want the newer gen tech in 3 years.

Like you, I'm thinking of selling my E63S. I've always been a Porsche and BMW guy (3 M5s, 2 M3s, 911 Turbo, etc.) and my only two nits on the E63S are the location of the shifter and the weak A/C, which for some reason really bothers me. I have a sedan, not a wagon so much more prevalent and may hurt the value. I believe I have nearly every option with a $147.5K msrp and may trade it in for a GT3, but I know I'll get crushed, but I don't really care so we'll see how it goes. My wife absolutely hates the performance seats haha!

You can wait forever it's just going to go down, sorry but that's reality and the moment MY19s are released (mine's on a ship to VPC this week or next) then yours will take another hit.
I know you are in no rush but waiting for a better deal means you don't want to take a heavy loss. Almost for sure won't get better and you have to hope you find a retail buyer.

Yes! Same. I used to be a car care nut - I loved spending an entire day washing and detailing my vehicles, treating them with kid gloves. These days, I have neither the time nor the inclination, nor do I really want to pay others to do it for me. I drive for 36 months, don't sweat it, then get a new car.

Ya agree. I’ll probably keep mine long term. A 2 or 3 year deal on buying a new Benz is just too expensive. I could justify it with my last 2012 as I bought that a year old for 30 grand off. This 2018 I’m taking really good care of it and probably do 100k miles with it over 10 years.

That’s why it bothered me when I had a few people saying I’ll buy it from you in 2 or 3 years right after I got the car including a good friend. What do they think I am stupid.? Wreckless with my money?
