I'd probably look at various sites: ebay motor, vehix.com, kelly blue book, etc.....

Sorry, but that's a pretty hard call. I'd be looking at the exact same sites as you to get an idea of what would be appropriate. You might want to look at the used car lists on kbb.com, as they have a pretty wide selection and range. You can probably make a good stab from there. Just keep in mind that a lot of people are probably holding out for more than is reasonable. See if you can look at listings in the order in which they've been updated, to see if you can find any price changes. I'd expect that the newer listings would reflect the economy better.

Probably not what you want to hear. But realistically somewhere between $50-65k but most likely about $55,000.

Mercedes depreciate like a rock.

$60k obo .

With the enconomy being bad, you might be in luck. I got a 2006 SL500, after all was said and done, 13-months remaining on factory warranty, $48,000, and the dealer paid by Lexus off. I owed on the Lexus 27,000 but blue book llisted it for 20,000.

I then purchase Mecury extended warranty insurance from my credit union for 2900-dollars. I then brought electronics insurance (radio, etc...) for 250-dollars. To replace the radio on the Sl500 can cost between 6000 and 10,000 dollars. When they say bumper to bumper, read it carefully, it is not so, unless you buy a certified Mercedes Benz, but that why you pay 10,000 to 15,000 dollars extra.

If you do buy the SL500 I would make sure you have at lerast 1-year left on the factory warranty. Drive it everything to find out what is wrong with it, and get it fixed for free.

Good luck.

KBB is way off. Their prices are high vs the real world

[BiTurboBenz]

Wholesale: $40,000
Retail: $50,000

no one wants a used V12 Benz unless they can steal it

Not the same car, but I got a 2007 SL550 with pano and premium, with 3500 miles, for $66K from the dealer. And I suck at bargaining. Given that, I'd think the might be even lower.

I was talking about their used car listings from autotrader.com, not what they say the value is.
