May be if you sell privately , they are selling cars equipped like yours with less miles for 30k . Too many are going for 24k barely equipped but less miles, they will low ball you down to 20k is my prediction

You should get your $32K no problem as a private sale. The car should still have 2 years bumper to bumper which can be extended for a further 2 years for about $3500.
The dealer would likely offer $25-27K on a trade.
Whoever suggested $20K is having a laugh mate..... That's used Toyota Camry money.

i'm just saying prepare for the worst at the dealership if you choose that route otherwise he or she will end up depressed after the appraisal

I need to check out Craigslist!
That's scary that the car would depreciate so much in a couple of years. That's insane.
I'm about to leave the house to buy 2015 fully loaded C400 for $46K (original sticker $64K) with unlimited mileage bumper to bumper warranty until 2021 (I'm good at haggling). Now I'm truly considering more research as I don't want a car with such horrendous depreciation. Better off buying a Camry if the MB value is going to skydive like your suggesting! Scary.

Unfortunately, C Classes have one of the highest first year depreciation rates of any cars sold in the USA. Expect to take a big hit on trade in.

Sounds like I might be safe with the car I'm looking at then. KBB value area $41-47K and my car has absolutely every single option available (hence the original $64K sticker)
Hoping I've missed that horrendous fussy year depreciation especially with only 1200 miles on the car.

i just bought a 16 c300 4 matic p2, multimedia, pano, 12,000 miles $52K list and it was $35,750 in a dealer auction (from mb finance) so this is what a dealer would have paid for a fairly loaded vehicle.

Now take a look at what similarly equipped used cars are selling for on Autotrader and cars.com etc in your area. Make sure to filter for the correct options and similar mileage. Take the avg dealer asking price for these and reduce by 20%. Is this value close to the KBB and NADA trade value? It should be. If it is significantly less then the market rate may be falling for your particular vehicle. If it is significantly higher, you should press for the higher range of the trade in value.
Taking a quick look at the data, it's pretty clear that you are being overly optimistic with your expected trade in value. I think they will offer you something in the range of $28-29k. This range should be increased by 10% for a private sale.
