Hi Timco and GTA,

I’m not planning on selling my 550 SE anytime soon, but just to let you know I paid 15.5k for mine in Feb 2017. 103k miles, maintenance records, excellent cosmetic condition, LN IMS, all other needed major maintenance items recently completed prior to purchase. I’ll replace the AOS for PM this winter and I’ve replaced one cooling fan thyrestor and done some other minor maintenance to bring it up to 100%.

I would not let it go for less than 20 kUSD now. It would probably take a while to sell it at that price because it would need to go to someone who is specifically looking for a 550 SE and I would anticipate the need to advertise it outside normal channels.

Hmm, not necessarily. I have a good friend that makes an excellent living connecting car enthusiasts and/or status seekers who are buying and selling preowned high end sports cars. He always says that a car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it and he always asks sellers - what’s the priority for this sale, time or money?

If you’re happy with your car purchase and your car brings satisfaction to you, you paid just the right price.
