Message	If you love it, buy it. But understand that the Z is worth about 1 to 1.5 years of depreciation on the SL63 (and that is using your 30k assumption). And once the SL63 goes off warranty all bets are off. Depreciation is high, repairs are expensive. (Before you buy it) ask the service department how much it costs to repair the mechanism if the roof gets stuck part way open/closed .... But...they are beautiful so if you want it, buy it. And enjoy that AZ sun! But it's definitely a liability, not an asset.
