I have a 2010 Palladium Silver on Ash leather C63 with 12k miles.
Great shape, always garaged, no issues, no tunes.
Options: ipod integration, lighting package, and AMG leather package, no multimedia/nav.
Only mods: Carlsson front lip.
Trade-in value they gave me was $35k. Think that's fair?

NADA will be most accurate, but that seems close. I bought my loaded 09 with LSD and Delimiter, 17K miles for $41K CPO.

Dealers go by Mannheim auction reports for trade, this is how they keep from getting hurt.
Depending on the deal they are sitting in for the vehicle you are trading for I wouldn't settle for less than $2k more for yours or $2k off the car you're buying as initial numbers typically allow for $2more K.

You're only giving half of the info required to think about this. What's the trade in for? What sort of discount are they willing to provide on the purchase? That's a major factor, for obvious reasons, as it's a huge negotiating point, right?

Exactly. There is a big tax advantage when "trading in" vs just selling the car off.

I agree with what you're saying. I'm getting a good deal on the new car (according to truecar). The $35k is also what a used dealer offered me in cash, no trade-in. I agree with the tax benefit. 7% tax in NJ. So if I use it toward a new car, the $35k is the same as doing a private sale at $37.5.

The short answer is no 35K is not enough for your car with that kind of mileage. Heck your motor is just broken in. Assuming excellent condition, low miles, and supply and demand your car should yield you 38K plus your sales tax.
If you car is turn key it should sell for 40-41K. Best of luck.

Dealer is going to make sure they don't lose money on a car, so for something like this they are going to go off of auction prices just in case they can't move it and then can just dump it there.
So the short answer is yes, $35k is a fair price at a dealer for trade.

No multimedia meaning you only have the little screen and not the pop up nav screen? That kills the value imo. I think many people shopping c63s won't even consider non-nav cars so consider the dealer trade-in the best you're going to do.

last time I checked, MB navigation is dated and blows. I actually did not want it.

Just wanted to share that I was offered as much as $37k on my trade-in, but I just couldn't part with my car. Just couldn't do it. A lot of effort and negotiating gone to waste, but frankly there is no car at this price that can put this kind of smile on my face when I get behind the wheel. That is all.
