c300lv

i have a 2008 c300 black exterior, black mbtex, multimedia package, p1, stock 17 inch and has about 22000 miles.. what would be a good price to sell it for? the car is good condition and has been going to maintenance properly.. no problems

dansonchan

32000?

Azn_C300

I wish.

you'll find similar optioned MBs with less mileage in the mid to high 20s now. Depreciation sucks.

Sportstick

That's what I paid for a brand new 2009 last November with similar content...(manual trans seems biggest likely difference). Check Edmunds.com....but why sell? See what 100,000 or 200,000 miles feels like!

Krytech

Mid $20's sounds about right, list higher so you have some room. Sucks since you just paid a lot more than that for it, but that what happens when you buy a new car and want to sell it a couple years later. The first 2-3 years are nothing but massive depreciation. Why selling it so quick, out growing it?

c300lv

just cant afford it anymore..

Aachen1989

maybe 25k-28K..
bmw dealers gave me an estimate value, and it was about 27K for trade in value.. my car is black on black 08 sport 18 amg rims..but only 6k milage..

BIG BAD BOSSMAN

25-30... if your lucky!

Azn_C300

yup, pretty much

Robbio204

if its kept well and is well-optioned, I think a bit higher like 29 and up range

Azn_C300

Not really. I've been tracking prices and fully loaded 08 c300s with less than 10k miles are going for maybe 27-29. 350s you can crack the 30s will fully loaded, but plenty of mid optioned ones also going for high 20s. Not too happy with the depreciation hit we're taking but it is what it is.

C300Kid

Not sure I agree. I'm on my 4th brand new car and I'm only 22. I had my first car 2 years then sold it for $5k less than I paid new. I had my second car for about a year..lost about $6k. Had my third car for almost 3 years then traded it in for about $8500 less than what I paid new. So I've lost $19,500 (give or take) in the 6 years I've been driving.

$19,500 / 6yrs = $3,250 per year/ 12mos = $270.83 per month. Not bad considering I've been driving around nice cars the whole time.

C300Kid

for real. i'm scared to even think of the hit i'll be taking in a couple years.

BerBer63

20-24k depending where you live

Robbio204

well not to get off topic, but the 2003 c230 coupe bought new sold back to dealer early 2008 for 12,000

C300Sport

I have checked my value from time to time on Edmunds. It has actually gained a few hundred dollars over the last 6 months?? I guess the improving economy and the fact that these cars are turning out to be quite reliable has helped support our resale.

Derspeed

I checked Edmunds too. I was surprised that mine is still worth about what I paid. It still has less than 3,000 miles on it though.

i_am_amused

no, it doesn't. It's how I'm able to have a $112,000 daily driver.
we just won't mention that it's 6 years old now.

yep, like me

C300Sport

True, sometimes depreciation is our friend...like the 2007 Aston Martin Vantage at the Bimmer Store here in Atlanta. They are willing to take $68,000 for one with 4k on the Odo.... God I love that car and I just got a home equity loan to redo the kitchen....hmmmm....better hurry up and give the money to the contracter or my girl will be castrating me soon...

i_am_amused

lose the girl, quite your job, buy the car, and become the next James Bond.

shaken, not stirred

(apologies to your girl )

hcetzneb

i agree we are in the process of selling some of our x-loners 300 4matics p-1
with navi and around 10k on them... I think they are asking 29k with cpo and thats at a dealer. If you only keep a car for 1-2 years lease your save so much $$$$

rh71

my car is now worth $9k less after less than 2 years. And don't forget the $5k in taxes I paid on top of that... won't get that back either. I plan on keeping it forever - not wise to sell so quick just to turn around and buy another... which apparently you won't be doing anyway.

Cerano

even a jap car like a mark-x here

the depre kills

15k SGD per year

lexus its even worse up to 30k SGD per yr for a GS300

C300S 6MT

+1. woke up and smelling that coffee....
