Thinking of selling the C55. What should I ask for it?
I'm thinking of selling my 2005 C55. Currently has 77k miles. Silver with ash interior. Car has COMMAND, HID's and CLK front grille. Included will be a set of winter 17 inch C32 wheels with winter tires (1 season) and new Hankooks (still unmounted) for the stock 18 inch wheels. Recently had new front pads and rotors, valave cover gaskets, rear main seal, passenger seat sensor all replaced. Includes remaining warranty that expires 3/2013 or another 12k miles.
I'm thinking of asking $15,500.
Any thoughts?

I'm with 91RS. I would be in the $21k or even $21,5K and then go from there. The C55 is a great car and there is fewer and fewer of them each day!

I think that will sell quick at $15k... def don't lowball yourself unless time is pressing
I say use Mike's guidance and ask $21-22k and let the process run... GLWS!

Yes, I am hoping for a quick sale. When I do officially put it up for sale, I am hoping to sell in a week or two. When I bought the car 2 years ago, I only paid $20,500 for it and I am now only the second owner. I am only selling it because I got the opportunity to buy a 2010 Lexus GS 450h with 19k miles for $30k.

Here's a thread on a guy who sold his for $22K three weeks ago:

Condition is critical of course. Assuming you keep yours mint, $15.5K just seems crazy cheap. Also, I think Michael K. just said he was offered $24K for his.
Good luck with the sale and the new car.
