Question on selling price for my '96 C220 100kMls

I was wondering how much I should ask for it..

I got the Kelly BB value for sell it yourself runs about $7,000 in good condition, about $7,700 for excelent.

Mine is in between I think, about $7,375. at Blu Book value.

Is that the lowest I should go on a set price before I sell?

What your thoughts?

KBB always aims low. Look at www.nada.com for a more accurate price. I always print out the nada value and put it in the windows of the cars I sell.

Thanks for the response, but that is more like Dealer retail prices from what I have seen online private sales.

is your car totally stock, glossy paint, perfect int and ext. how does it show. all these things matter when selling your car. if you want to impress a buyer get a full detail. a clean car will always sell at the price you want (reasonable of course)

also, are you in hurry to sell, if so list it cheaper, if not, then you can wait for a serious buyer who wants your car and get more. i'm sure you know these things, but we need to know to get a better selling picture for you.

a car that can't do the throttle reset.
kbb is the HIGH end...on trade in a dealer wont come close to giving you kbb. when private selling it, expect much less...if youi get that much good job.

I realize that nada is dealer but most buyers don't realize this.

well this is the deal I am trying to get for the car.

I have noticed there is not that big a demand for this car, and the longer I drive it the lower the price would go or repairs will eat into the price.
