Probably about 30k if the car had bi-xenon.. and because it would still be under warranty with 32k miles..

If I buy, I always aim for KBB's trade-in good value (start lower than that, of course... but not too low).... so in this case, $26.6K.

So far, I've bought and helped friends buy around 5 cars this year, and been always lucky to get it around KBB's trade-in good value. And all of them from dealers.... private, a little tough.

If I sell, I aim for KBB's private party excellent.... in this case $32K.

So I would say, most transaction for the car in question would happen between $28K-$30K.

As for psk, w/ lower miles, some left-over warranties and some mods, I think you should be able to fetch around $32K (unless you meet me )... so your asking price is reasonable.

thanks for the encouragement. I searched autotrader within 300 miles of me, and all the 2003's are asking 35-40 with way more mileage than mine.

Dang you're on the right spot then.... in SF Bay Area, I found a couple '03 C32's late last year... all fully loaded but w/ 35-45K miles.... from Audi, Porsche and Lexus dealers.... all were asking about $35K-$38K.

I didn't like the condition, though... swirl marks all over the place... there was one w/ a super-idiot salesman.... the tires on one side were not the same as the other side (all 245's on the right & 225's on the left )... and he said that the way it should be... And when the S/C shut off due to excessive WOT... he said not to compare w/ my E55... he said C32 was A LOT slower than W210 E55

Either way, good luck w/ the sale....

Riffyb:
I don't know KBB is not as accurate as NADA... even Edmunds often shows higher price than KBB.... well, I usually pick the lower one when it comes to buying a car

Hey, just like Real Estate these days, ask price and selling price are very different animals. As a fellow Orange Countian, I shopped within 300 mile of here as I was looking for my 2002 C32. FJ Mercedes wanted between $36K and $46k for the two they had. MBLN wanted $29k for their 02 and $36k for their 03. I think they ended up auctioning off the 03.

The KBB retail for my low milage 02 was over $36k in March when I bought it...for $27k with CPO. Like I said, different animals.

I hope you get it all though. I want mine to be a good investment.
