Ready to pull trigger on SLS.. has the market leveled

not an expert but following the market as well. I am looking to stay read in on a 2011 or 12 coupe. I think low mileage cars have actually started to move up a tad. I do think the coupe if well owned will be a bit collectable. the first car entirely built at AMG. a pretty serious car and built like the rock of Gibraltar!!

good luck.

 

btw there was a nice low mile example in the other cars for sale section...have a look there too.

 

About to close on one this week... I think they have leveled out... I can't wait to pick her up

2011 SLS coupe black on black I will post some pics once I pick her up... I can't wait

 

Congrats! Black on black is just like mine.

I would think the Gull Wing coupes will retain value better than the roadsters. This is why the price for coupe cars are par with roadsters.

Here is a Roadster in C.A.

This roadster is aged, you may want to follow up on this one as the seller should cut a deal.
Hope that helps and best of luck. They are undervalued cars considering the power and performance

 

I agree the coupe will retain their value and become more collectible later on. The gullwing is such a cool and unique feature that the convertible doesn't have.

IMO these will follow the values of the BMW Z8. Drop for a few short years, then hold, then start back up and never come down. I doubt FMV for an SLS coupe will ever be less than $100k.

When I first saw the Z8 (new at about $130k) I thought it was a really neat car and in several years following typical BMW depreciation, would be an awesome machine for $30-40k. Obviously didn't work out that way.

I think people should forget what they know about typical AMG deprecitation for the SLS, the coupe anyway.

 

The convertibles are awesome machines, but not the iconic Gullwing like the old days

 

coupes look cooler,but roadsters are open top fun

 

I just picked mine up Friday. I thought it would be hard to compare any thing to the Scud but all I can say is WOW! What an amazing car! The style, the class, the power! And those doors have no words! Belive it or not I think it gets more attention than the scud and def easier to drive! But the SCUD is going nowhere

 

Congrats! I agree, my SLS gets more attention than my Ferrari does.

yes

 

I have both. Drive them OFTEN. I prefer the Conv over the Coupe. The whole gullwing thing gets old after a while. Plus there is a "hump" when you get in and out. your butt has to go over it every time. Conv is more convenient.

 

i have a friend of a friend thinking about selling his 2011. silver on red. no CF which i like. 15k miles.

what ya think it's worth ? looked at manheim. they are all over the place. thinking $100-115k ?

how much is that CF ctr console piece ?

 

115 is super cheap even with 15k miles the lowest priced SLS I have seen was 125

 

With the new AMG GT coming out, do you think SLS prices will soften a little more in the near term? Or do you suspect we're at market bottom?

 

yes.

 

i went and drove it...... the car is an absolute beast. what noises it makes. he wants 130k which i think is way to high from what i see on manheim. its a low option car.
