hello guys,

i'm in the market for a cls55/63. since the new CLS models are coming out soon, will the price drop even more when the new models hit the road?

i've came across some CLS55 with less than 30,000 miles. given that it is a 5 year old car, would it still have a high resale value when i sell it 4 years down the road? meaning would a higher asking price in the future even make sense for a approx. 9 year old car with low miles?

based on this perspective, what's your opinion on getting a 07-08 CLS63 model in the 40,000 miles range instead if the depreciation may be less than an 06 model? i will have a wider range of selection if i choose to go with a CLS63.

any feedback would be great!

 

price will drop like a brick with years or mileage for almost all AMGs...CLS included. Don't expect anything near purchase price

 

Cars are rarely an investment unless you buy at black book and sell directly. Mercedes Benz are among the worst cars in terms of holding their value. Buy it because you like it not to turn a profit because its not going to happen.

Good luck,

 

Listen to theses guys AMGs drop in value like crazy, I had an E63 and took a hit when I traded it in. If I were you I would get the 55 because of the modding potential. Make sure you get a good warranty!!!! If your not into modding get the 63....

 

2.5 yrs ago I sold my 06 CLS55 MSRP @ ~107K with 28K miles (loaded w/030 package) and 20" HRE 897R wheels for $48K. Car also had CPO warranty too...

 

had a cls55, modded well and a hell of a lot cheaper than modding a 63. 55 all the way, just take out a warranty, its worth it trust me
