Re: SL depreciation
goto www.noblecars.com look around that website, you'll see the only dealer in SA is in centurion by lazarus motors.
Haven't been to the track with it yet, will do so over the next month, can't wait!

Hi guys,
Would just like your opinions and thoughts on SL's keeping their values. I have a '04 SL 55 AMG, I bought it for 203,000 euros(our taxes are BAD!). Out of curiosity, I went to the dealer today to ask for the trade in value of the car, to my shock and disbelief, they gave me a trade in value of 145,000 euros!!! That's 58,000 euros depreciation in ONE YEAR?!?! It also only has 17100km\10700miles on the odometer and it totally full house. Can anyone please explain to me why it dropped so drastically?
Thanks.
WTF!!???!!, 203,000euros for a 55amg???, wow taxes are really high there, did you bought it fully equipped, I mean if you went for all the options???..
That price tag is really really high in that specific car, I doubt what would be the price for a CGT or similar, it should be NEARLY the million euros
Porsche doesn't has this problem

Re: SL depreciation
Well, I don't really like complaining about car taxes for two obvious reasons: 1. There really isn't much to do about it, and 2. It's really depressing 
But as I feel in that kind of a mood right now, I'll give you a run for your money
A lot of the cars mentioned on you're list don't really have prices easily available in Norway because not enough people buy them, but heres a few:
Golf GTI: 46 000 Euro
Chevrolet Corvette C6: 140 000 Euro
Porsche Cayenne Turbo: 340 000 Euro
Porsche 997S: 160 000 Euro
SL 55 AMG: 240 000 Euro
Bare in mind these are all BASE prices..
Anyone better??
elysium

Porsche Cayenne Turbo: 298 000 Euro
