Anyone seen SLS prices lately?
Discussion
Funnily enough I just looked yesterday and noticed the same thing - I thought the first one was a mistake, but then there were others! Bonkers, but no more bonkers than some other cars' price increases recently.
Mine is 10 reg, c15k miles with Brabus engine, exhaust upgrade and also been back to factory for gearbox software. I'm half thinking about selling it in the spring, mainly so I have space at home to try something different, but at the same time know that I'll miss it before long. Storage for a year or two is another option.
If the prices keep going up, will be tempting to bail out til they inevitably come down again, but i know I won't get another one in same spec ever again.

One is (was) mine. Up at £139k....and because it's being sold by a Merc dealer, they'll probably get close to that price. They have no choice given what they paid me for it 
If theres no supply and little competition between vendors, anybody who wants one will just have to cough up! It's a sellers market and if I was any of the handful of other sellers with cars in the £100-110k region, I'd whack £10k on the price straight away.

Stunning car to drive, still can't believe how fast it is... and how much fun on a damp road 
Agreed - I took mine for a few laps of a sprint event on part of old Ingliston circuit - 3rd or maybe 4th gear max, but still entertaining when damp....(Sounds effects via Brabus)

Andrew. I drove both the roadster and the Black. Not a lot of difference with the roadster apart from no roof. The Black however, is a different animal altogether , not a car that I would want to live with every day as it is too raw. I did. Manage to take it for a blast up the runway but at 160 chickened out as the 747 at the end of the runway was looming large.

Wow you must have caught the prices right at the bottom! 2.5k miles for 102k is really good. Hope prices do rise slowly. Give me a year or two in the SLS then hopefully get into something else equally special
Just happened to log onto PH at the right time, had been looking for some time this one came up ex IoM car. I expect the previous owner only drove round the island once a week .Bought it without seeing in the flesh and part ex my Maserati GT MC Sport. Funnily my car had the same mileage as the SLS.thepanays said:
Bought coupe in September last year for £102k with 2.5k miles. Now up to 5k miles and had an offer of £110k form a dealer. just done a day with MB Enthusiast magazine comparing the original (mine) a roadster and a Black. Great day out, details in this months Mercedes Enthusiast mag.
I too saw the feature in MB Enthusiast magazine (even bought a copy to keep as a souvenir, being as I no longer have one) and found it very interesting. I didn't realise the coupe was yours Paul.TH currently have a virtually new SLS Black series (claimed to be one of only 3 in the UK) and it looks mental, like an SLS on steroids!
I think prices probably bottomed out around late 2012/early 2013 where trade bids would have been around £80k for an average condition, spec, miles SLS coupe.
