And you think ZR-1 prices are down?
 

Happen to be watching Mecum ...Could be a repeat but it's from this year in Portland Oregan.....

An 01 Mercedes S600 blk/blk V-12 , car looked beautiful, just sold for 5,500 dollars.....Sticker price in 01 was 121,000 dollars....

So cheer up everybody....Lol...

Don't worry, whoever bought it for $5500 will spend
the remainder of the $121000 the 1st time he takes it to
the Mercedes dealer for any kind of maintenance or repairs!!!

True statements all, I used to have a E39 M5 and it was expensive to work on, so a V12 Benz will probably be even higher. However the S550 is a really nice car, if you about have 3 - 5 K a year for repairs its a great deal. After 3 years you spend accord money on one of the best cars in the world. The trick is you need to find the right person to work on it or do it your self.

Coil packs are 1400 a piece 750

Shocks are 500 rebuilt

Intercooler Pump is 1200 at the dealer, did it myself 120

If I didn't do the work the bill would be 15-20K right now

Insane power, built my own intake so should be 630-650hp and 700-730ft lbs

In New York City you are probably buying your own parts back!

At least it's at a bargain.

Lee, at the end of the day, you are still driving a SL600 Mercedes. Wife wants a SL55 or SL65 once I get the second lift in the garage we will be pulling the trigger. Black/Red or White/Cognac.
