I'd hate to burst ur bubble but i sold my 03 c230ss for 6k below NADA. Benzes do not hold their value and depreciate rapidly. Believe it or not a 2000 Bimmer 3 series would fetch far more than my C230. They just suk at resale value.
Oh and another bubble burst is that it took from May to November of last year to sell it.
And it was modded

I want an 05 C230 because of the interior change. I dont want a BMW 335i bc I deserve to drive in a better status car. Nevertheless I might get a C55. Anyways I would like to know some tips on how to sell it within a month. Brabus and Lorinser are Official MB Tuners so it isnt bad compared to them ricer mods. I am not parting out and putting back to stock because that cost money for labor, and like I said before it didnt cost me anything for these mods. I am going to use Craiglist, Ebay, Autotrader to sell. Also on ebay do you think setting no reserve price boost your sale ? I seen someone with a modded E500 last year and they got a the exact value of the car the KBB price. I plan on not having a reserve and offering a free date with my exclusive car model for the buyer who purchase the car as long as their single. Do anyone think offering this incentive is a good idea. I need some good marketing tools for selling a car in general fast, effeciently and effectively.

How could that be illegal ? Thats just an added incentive to selling the car and everybody would be happy at least the buyer will. Just think about it you bought a sexy Benz, and got a sexy girl to go out on a date with upon delivery. Not bad.

^What are you talking about. Anyways I found the dealer who uses women to sell their cars on ebay. Heres an auction. I want to do the same thing without no reserve price and provide a free date my model upon delivery of the car. My photoshoot with my model is in 2 weeks gettin ready for HIN. I will post pics. Not to mention my model is better looking than this dealers models.

You dont want a 335i because you want a better status car? Yet you will take an 05 C class over a 335i do you know anything about cars? Most people on here will give their c class and their first-born for a new 335i. I will make you a deal. Buy a new 335i and i will trade you my modded 2006 C230 SS for it with the nice interior you are so desperately after. What do you say? Deal? Send me a PM we can work something out. Dont forget to throw the model in there as well.

Modded car = banged up car "Oh you got coilover suspension, then you must be driving it hard during weekedn or even race it" . This is what an average buyer would think of oyur car. WHisch isn't alway true, a lot of modder take very good care of their car, but the buyer is always skeptical.
I mod the **** out of my car and I for one dont buy modded car unless i know the person i am buying from.

^You cant tell me opinion about cars. I have a passion for Benzes and only Benz. I dont like BMWs period. Besides I hate their dull dark orange clusters. Its 2007 their orange cluster is played out especially the dark orange color clusters they use. They should get like MB with a more advance white cluster. The Light Yellow Orange clusters in the MBs are way better than the BMW clusters. I want a car with a white cluster like the 05 C230. Besides I aint spending 50K for a Bimmer 335i. I rather get a c55 or get a W204 if I was going to spend that type of money. I just want an 05 C230 something reasonable that has a nice up to date interior. Anyways back to the subject how can you sell a car withing a month ? Also my car has extended warranty by MB. Thats also a selling point too. Will a warranty car boost the value up ?

White C
Are you kidding me?.....What your saying doesnt make any sense what so ever.
Why the hell would you sell your 04 c class for an 05 c class? Thats just dumb!
But if you were to do so...you shoudl buy the 05 first and then switch the parts on the car and sell then sell your 04.
i would understand if you wanted to get a c320 or c350 not back to a c230.
whats your budget?
i know a c32 amg thats for sale with brabus rims and s class tails silver on black for only $20k.

You are right you have every right to have an opinion about cars. And BMW have every right to keep their orange clusters. Unlike You and your evaluations based on color of the freaking clusters, BMW actually do some serious thought about its handling when it is made. If all you want is a car with white clusters there are plenty of other choices, and that is the stupidest way to evaluate a car that I have ever heard in my life. People have already answered your stupid question about every way possible to sell your car, and that it won't add value with your mods.
Oh and btw, looking at how you want to buy a 05 with 18000, we know that you wont spend the money to buy a 335i.

Well now that you mentioned I am actually Im going to try to get an or an 08 W204 for about 35K. I just wanted a car updated interior and updated body since W203 is looking really outdated even with mods. Also a 05 C230 would be around 18K with about 40K miles on it. I check the auctions. The W204 is comming in May and W203 prices will be plunging like crazy. I know cars. Point being I want to sell this car that I have fast, bc I want to get the W204sport when it comes out. Like I said before I am not parting out. I am just going to sell like it is with the kit and mods. Parting out is a hassle.

actually the W204 is com (note: one "m") ing in August.
W203 prizes will not plunge like crazy. The 2005-2007 W203 looks much sportier than the baby-S class-like W204. The W204 has the same engines as the 2005+ W203's, so there's not that much of a price drop expected for the W203s.
