Mercedes is gone physically, but still in my heart.
Unfortunately, there isn't a large market for modified C240s, or modified lower end Mercedes in general. To give you an idea, right now I'm looking to sell my '03 C240 (not 4matic though) with Brabus reps, H&R springs with 34,000 miles on it and I haven't gotten any bites at the price of $18,800 which is pretty damn low already. Trade-ins, I haven't gotten any offers over $17-17,500. You do have 4matic though so that's a plus, but you'd be best off replacing the aftermarket stuff back to stock and sell aftermarket stuff separately.

Damn $18,000 and nothing. I was offered 18,500 as a trade in. I was thinking of bringing it back to stock and selling it that way. I have an ad in the paper I guess I'll have to see what happens, if no one wants it modded, then stock it is. Good luck with your sell.

That's a good idea. Right now, I'm debating whether to just downgrade and save my money now, or go all out do an exhaust/DVDNAV/tints. Good luck with your sale!

If I sell it stock them I will most certainly part it out.
Im on the same boat as you, lol. If I dont end up selling it then, im going all out, bodykit, DCR's, 2-tone seats, and monitors all over the place.

Whatever, screw selling it, we're losing money. Let's just mod the hell out of them and have the nicest in the tri-state area then go to meets right and left.

You will be better off parting it out like everyone said. You wont get any more money for the car with all of that stuff on there. You should seel the parts, put it back to stock, and then sell it. You will have more money in your pocket.
If you part it out, I'll take your head lights....

Thanks for the advice guys. If I get someone interested in buying the car as is then i'll sell. If not, I'll probably end up keeping it and throwing more money into it. 
nanrye, to answer your question, yes, I have 5mm spacers in the front. They rub just a lil bit when turning full circle on the plasic cover inside the wheel well. Other than that they are great.
