SLS----price at 5 years
Discussion
I was thinking of that too! Cant see an SLS ever being worth lees than about 70k at worst especially with those classic style Gullwing doors.... Id imagine prices would dip down from where they are now over the next 5 years as there seems to be enough supply. Id predict that probably about 5 years after when production ends prices would start to level at a min and then pick up again gradually...

A basic brand new SL these days is about 70k. The way im looking at it is that I cant see SLS with 560bhp and the classic style doors being worth any much less than a new basic SL, unless ofcourse Merc start to fit Gullwing doors accross their SL range. Then again if too many are produced, then prices may drop alot more...

this one is £110k already!
to me these cars are simply a step up from a AMG SL with novelty doors. The engine is great, but then again AMG will put these massive engines in every merc they can get their hands on thus creating too many "specials". Way too expensive new with the various options - £175k is 458 and MP4-12c territory.
Should settle at £70k and at that price will probably be a good and safe buy

I said £70k because I think there will be a support level there where more people suddenly realise they could have one. Not sure how long it will last but to me it just seems the £70k area of cars (AMV8's older Gallardos etc) is a busy part of the market so a car could stick around that price for a while!
Supply and demand people.
Having a look at howmanyleft.com shows roughly 250 examples of SLS' licensed in 2011 (2nd year of production). Whereas an SLR is about 50 per year and SL55 approx 1500.
So taking into account initial prices, I believe they will stabilise at about £70k, similar to Gallardos (£60k). Shame really

I made a thread about this in the Merc forum a few days ago; it's very interesting to watch and clearly not long until private cars are under £100k. Then when the Roadster is available what's going to happen, who knows!
ETA: Unless the DBS Volante starts coming down in price, and fast, an SLS might be an incredibly attractive option!
