Advice: What do you think its worth?

Hey everyone,

I have been debating selling the C55, but I can't really make up my mind. Also, I've been having some trouble acertaining this car's value. I thought I would bounce this off of you guys.

2005 C55 Black/Black
Prem pkg w/ CD Changer
Euro Command
UHI kit
Winter wheels/tires
Pss9 suspension (can be put back to stock)
40,000 miles.

The car's condition is good, and I can put it back to completly stock form w/o any issues. I'm just trying to figure out if its worth it or not.

Thanks for the advice.

I saw a fully loaded C55 with only 6K miles and it was going for 49K including
the StarMark warranty. It is hard for me to gauge fair price on a car with that mileage

40K miles? Wow. I think that's going to scare some people away. How much warranty is left? I think I'd be happy with LOW $40's.

He will need at least the "7 year", 100K warranty for anyone to seriously consider purchasing it. I would say mid 30's

since the buyer can't extend the extended warranty through MB, you should offer to buy the warranty for them, before they buy the car and take possesion, have them pay for it....

I would never own an AMG car out of warranty.... too risky... when I was was looking at used E55's, I would have only bought one that was starmarked, or had the extended warranty.....

25-30% depreciation is not bad.

47 850 miles = 47 000$
41 600 miles = 50 000$
