resale #'s were so bad

The True OG Modded out W203
Oh my god! When I bought my C240 new it was like 37K and they BARELY wanted to budge on the price(when they first came out). Those prices are TOO tempting for a buyer....but I feel bad for the sellers

'98 M3 & '01 IS300
OUCH! I guess you don't want to know what the c240s are going for now. According to the C-spot driving event, new ones are going for around low $30k well equipped and under $30k with bare amenities.

The value of a MB goes down faster than a Saturday night hooker...
I purchased an '03 SLK320 from Autohaus (aka, Pompous House) for $49,000. When I went back to them a [b]year later[b] to inquire about trading for another vehicke, they offered me $35,000. I politely said f**k off, and sold it privately for $41,000, never to return to that place.
Vehicles have, and always will be a depreciating asset.

Your "hooker" theory is rivaled only by BMW and Audi!
Sheesh, you can pick up a friggin' LOADED M3 for a song. Don't even get me started on what you can procure an A6 for. Depriciation with a capital "D", baby!
I still love my M-B, and the resale is all relative. A lot of the poor resale prices in general are related to the impatience and/or ingnorance of the sellers.

If you really want "dick" you're on the wrong board, jackass.
Judging from the mentality of your post, your ad probably went something like this:
"Yo, Beyaatches. 2003 Mercedes Bizzzenz for sale. Straight up dope. Stupid cheap. Peace."

guys, chill!!
dd_kota's car would've worth more if it wasn't modded. I think he's car's been on the autotrader for 2 months because of the same reason. No one will want to buy a car that's modded by the previous owner.
as far as the M3 hold it's value, it's TRUE...lol but $2k difference between the 02 C32 and the 02 M3 SMG with compareble options ain't that bad because the M3 with compareble options would cost more to start.

Ask the automotive savy and it may be a different story, but this is how I feel public perception exists. The M3 is more likely to be in a Fast in the Furious type movie than the C32. So be it.

can't blame'em, the M3 has been there since the late 80's and the M Gmbh has been in racing since the 70s. It's always been more popular then the AMG.

You guys take this emotional vehicle attachment thing to whole new level. It's a car and there is no need to become vulgar over one.
I should have said "Because it is a luxury vehicle"...
My point was that ALL vehicles are depreciating assets and you will always lose money, regardless of what vehicle you purchase.
MB's are great vehicles, but they do depreciate quite fast, given their high cost.
The same holds true for all luxury vehicles, less Bentley's. They, for some reason, seem to not depreciate as fast as other vehicles

I kind of like driving the "sleeper" vehicle if you know what I mean. It's nice seeing the look of shock on BMW drivers' faces when I put the hammer down!
