I have a 2003 C32 that has 22400 miles on it. It has always been in a climate controls garage. It is silver with a blue accented interior. The only modification is the addition of SLK55 wheels. Under the hood looks like the day it was delivered. The interior is as new. The paint has a couple of small stone chips. It has never been in an accident. At my age (69)it is getting hard to drive all seven of my cars. If I do decide to reduce the number of cars, I would like it to go to an enthusiastic new care taker. It has never given even the smallest of problems, and runs perfectly and has always been serviced era regardless of the miles traveled since its last service. It has only been driven in fair weather and has always been a Florida car. I would appreciate any input as to the value of this car.
Thanks Gene

I would say maybe list it for $13,000 and see where it goes from there. Post some pictures as well. I would try and sell it here first before moving it to Craigslist.

Hello Gene, unfortunately it's not worth much. I'm not trying to be negative but I've been trying to sell my very nice 2003 C32 for many months with no luck. Here is what I find are the issues.
1. Many are scared of these cars as they are out of warranty and nobody really writes a warranty for a reasonable price on a 2003 AMG. Seems like few people know how to work on cars (even simple stuff) anymore so that doesn't help.
2. Those with the cash want something newer, they'd rather put the money down on a new Merc with more bells/whistles that has a warranty.
3. Those who actually want a C32 don't have the money for a nice one..........they're all in the $6-$6500 range and at that price you're looking at higher mileage with work that needs to be done. No bank/credit union will finance a 2003 vehicle either which kills the value.

Long story short.........we're getting really low on the depreciation curve and I'm finding that even nice examples are not worth much unfortunately. As I sit here looking at mine I'm amazed at the amount of car offered for the money. Just Crazy.

If you don't need the money, maybe consider selling one of your other vehicles that has a better shot of bringing good money and enjoy your minty C32. Just my 2 cents. Best of luck.
