Mercedes-Benz SL/SLK/CLK 1990-2006
For months after Mercedes launched its cute and compact SLK230, people tired of awaiting delivery would pay over the odds just to get hold of a car. No longer.
In fact, pretty much everything with CLK or SLK in its designation still has a way to go before the depreciation bottoms out. That does seem to have happened already with the early-1990s 500SL however later-model SLs have a long way to go before they catch up to the 560.
Very low-km, local delivery cars that have been properly preserved are a chance. The CLK55 and SLK55 with their AMG heritage and massive V8s offer stunning performance at a fraction of new price.
500SL R129 $32,450 [23]
