C55 AMG
Question Anybody had their C55 appraised for trade-in lately?

I was at a Lexus dealership the other day toying with the idea of trading in my C55 (70K miles, very clean) for an IS350 or RC350. I was shocked that the dealer gave it a trade in value of just $4Kt! I was expecting somewhere in the $6K-7K for something they could probably re-sell at $11-12K.

So I was wondering if any of you had theirs recently appraised or traded it in. How much was your C55 valued at?

Take it to Carmax as a comparison.

Dont waste your time. Carmax will do the same.

They'll turn around and sell it for max street value which for that mileage is up to 13.5k

Any dealer is gonna give you about the same. Any non-MB dealer is gonna wholesale a 10+ year old C class. So they figure, get about 6-7K at auction, give you 4k, make a couple grand on a quick flip.
