C230 Komp Sedan - 2003
Question C230 03 Sedan For Sale!!!

After thinking about this one quite bit, I'm 98% decided to sell my Komp Sedan and get a used C32.

I have no idea how much to ask for it, paid almost 35, I have 14 K miles on it, mostly highway (drive from Austin to Houston), since March so the car is only 7 months old.

I am thinking to ask 30 for it, please don't bash me if you think thats too high/too low....I doubt anyone here buy it, so if you give me your honest opinion so I can come up with a an asking price when i go outside to sell it I appreicate it.

All the options are listed in my Sig

What do the 2004's cost with similar options? $30k does seem high to my uneducated eye (seriously, i know very little about market pricing, etc), but as long as you have "negotiable" somewhere in your ad you would probably still get inquiries. Best of luck with the sale, I hope you get a good amount.

C32? That'd be great. You know, the braindead auto tranny and lack of low-end torque almost made us trade in our 230k for a 320. We decided to not blow the $$$ and kept the 230. Even with these downsides, I still look forward to driving it every single day.

According to Kelly blue book(kbb.com), your car is worth $26,000 or so(excellent condition/private party).

C230 Komp Sedan - 2003
if you want just the engin i think you can get it for 8~15 K, I think i saw couple on autotrader where the car was on that the car was burned and one that was totalled...

i've seen C32's for retail at 36K very clean ones 42~46, but my brother has a dealer licence and if i decide to buy it i'll go with him to manufacturer dealer auction in either Dallas or STL, he is telling me they pull only 30 at the dealer auction

my decision to go forward with this plan is really depends on how much i have to pay in a$$ for my C230.... i should have just listened to my brother and got the c32 from begining but at that point i just wanted a BRAND NEW CAR

I was looking at that KBB and NADA crap the other day. It's just so much BS. First of all it doesn't give you the opportunity to put in your options. The ones they offer are vague at best. Second its just a standard template. The trade in always gives you about 7k less than the dealer retail. What the book says is one thing what people will pay is a different thing.
Keyser_Soze - I see no reason why you can't get 30k for your car.

The 35 you paid includes tax and license. I think C is selling for $2000 under invoice now.

Good luck and let us know how much you sell it for.

Hey Taiwanese, your name caught my attention as I remember I saw one on the MDX board. After seeing your sig, I know it's you. Good to know that you and I both share the same ride. MDX and the C230!

Anyway, where can you buy C for $2000 under invoice? You guys must be really lucky because here in Dallas, the dealers won't even go $500 below MSRP! I need to go back and forth different dealerships in order to go $1000 below. It was a totally different experience buying the X and the C.

Yes, I am also on the acuramdx.org board. Nice to bump into you.

My wife drives the C most of the time. I take it out for a spin during the weekend.

We bought ours from Rusnak in Arcadia, CA. Our rep was Bill Chou, 626-447-1117.

I think I read somewhere here that others are paying the same for 2004. If people are paying $2000 under invoice during Oct 03 for 2004 then I didn't get such a good deal when I bought mine in June 03 for 2003.

But I am happy. I think we are close enough.

Have fun getting $30k for your car.

Mine's a 2002, I paid $26,100. The best I've been able to get within the past month was $17,500.
