This post was based solely on my impressions from looking at used SLs. It seems to me like they retain their value better than other models like the sedans, for instance.
Maybe that's my impression because I want an SL rather than one of the other models . . . .

If you don't want the CLS, I'd understand why you would want an SL. But if you are keeping the CLS, for my money I'd rather have a Corvette as my fun car than an SL any day. Corvette clubs and enthusiasts all over the country would be a lot more fun than most MB clubs. If I fit better w/o feeling claustrophobic, I'd probably have another Corvette.
An SL is not a sports car, especially in the last 50 years or so. It's a personal luxury car - just like the CLS, that only has two doors and two seats. I don't get the draw to them, my 300 ETD is every bit as fun/responsive to drive as most any mundane 107, it just doesn't look like one.
