Sell or trade my '98 C230

So, I am thinking about putting my ’98 C230 up for sale. Its just under 87K miles and I am the 2nd owner. All maintenance, etc is up to date. Car has never been abused or in an accident. Everything works and is in great condition except for some of the pixels being out on the ambient temp and odometer readouts. Car is Emerald blue with tan interior. Michelin Pilot tires with about 10K miles on them.

What do you guys think? Is there any market for this vehicle or should I resign myself to trade it in? One dealer told me he would give me $2500. Talk about insulting. I drive the car every day and it runs and looks great!

Post it on Craigslist. Ones listed on Autotrader are going for around
$8K. BTW, thought I saw somewhere that Mercedes issued a TSB
telling MB drivers to stay away from the Michelin Pilot tires, or one
style of that tire.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
list

it for 7k,you might get 6 grand in the cash private party deal.
C43's of the same year are dipping into the 9's so there is no way 8k is even going to get lookers.
