No one ever said I or anyone else should pay NADA value for a car. The reason I posted those price quotes is to show that they do match mostly what people are "asking" for on ebay and dealerships. Those prices are normally only raised a few thousand dollars to make the dealer money. Have you ever even been to a car auction? I know I have, I also know my father has worked for the largest Toyota dealership in Texas for 25 years and ive picked up on one or two things in that amount of time about selling used cars. 24k for an 05 c55 will 11k miles is a very good price, very near what the car would sell for at auction. You for some reason enjoy blowing holes in anything I post, I personally could care less what you think or when you bought your car. Enjoy it. All I know is not everything you say isnt 100% accurate or helpful. Why does you paying 39k for your car two/three years ago matter at all? Why did you even mention it? There are a million ways you could have paid under the market value for your car, not everyone else is going to get that same chance or deal. Dont be so smug.

+1 that's sort of what i was trying to say

WTF. Why did that cost so much? I guess you have to pay to play. I better look at some "sporty" acuras.

And there aren't a lot of 2005 C55's with 11k miles these days. That most any seller would indicate a much higher value. That is all I was trying to point out. I know there a C55's selling right now for 17-18k if you find a desperate seller and higher miles. But a great example with only 11k miles??? I would at least hope to sell that for 26k.

austin i understand what you are saying. i mean, there are even people these days that ask above KBB. example: http://www.kbb.com/used-cars/mercede...&mileage=25000

That is just plain funny. I can see if the car only had 8k miles on it and some one really wanted that exact car for some reason but 12k for a C240 is nuts.

MIKESV8

seriously! the mileage is really low, but the guy selling it (apparently he's selling it for his dad) more than likely lives with his dad and doesn't know current market value on this car nor KBB

Its like the C43s, you can pick em up in my area all day long for $6-8,000.

Hey, I have a 2006 C55, that I purchased new, and it hasn't been wrecked and is certainly not a garage queen, and it currently has less than 15,000 miles! It just happens to have multiple playmates in the garage, and only two drivers, so it doesn't always get out to play as much as it wants. Also, I've had no problems with the car yet - but considering your post - should I be expecting problems?

Just kidding - but just be aware there are some good, low-mileage cars out there...but mine's not 4Sale.
