Easier to Sell my C32 in San Francisco or OC?

I just moved to Newport Beach OC - but my car is still for sale in the SF Bay Area. Where will it be easier to sell and where can I get the most $$$ for it?

Thanks.

2002 C32 For Sale San Francisco - $35,000

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

35,000 firm with 50K factory warranty
38,500 firm with warranty until 2009 or 100K
I can get a full refund of the $3,500 extended warranty from mbz

With much regret I must sell this incredible machine. We are having a second kid and need to trim down our expenses so hence the C32 for sale.

This car carries a fully transferable Mercedes Starmark CPO warranty for the maximum length available. Until 2009 or 100,000 miles.

It is still under Mercedes new car warranty which includes all service and free Mercedes loaners (if you sweet talk them)

My Car Details:

Exterior -- Brilliant Silver – not one scratch or ding
Interior – Charcoal (black) Leather – perfect, as new
Engine – 349hp 332 lb-ft of torque
Transmission – Incredible 5 speed automatic – with touch up-down shifting if desired
Bose sound system with CD changer in glove box
XM Radio in custom install in the ash tray
Built in Navigation System with brand new California, Nevada Disc
$2000+ custom radar detector – laser jammer – Escort SR7 + shifters also located in ash tray
XENON
Rear window side and rear sunshades
AMG flat hood badge from Germany
Tires, Brakes – everything perfect – like new
Current Mileage is around 31,000

The car is mint, perfect and looks as it did on the showroom floor.

Price is $38,500– The Extended warranty alone just cost me $3,500 I can show you the receipt.

Please e-mail me if you are interested and have the money to complete the deal quickly.

I will send pix if seriously interested - but everyone knows what a silver on charcoal C32 looks like

$35,000.. wow..! have you checked the blue book value..? i would guess its worth about half what your asking price is.. tell us, whats so unique about this c32 that its worth the $35,000 asking price..? at that price, i dont think you have a chance at selling it in eighther city..

I bought my C55 in February in Costa Mesa for $19k. I'd say you'd have better luck in the OC, but not at that price, unfortunately. As walee112 said, though, it's worth a post on Craigslist, just to test the waters. Good luck!
