Hi! First off I’m definitely interested! I’m on the other side of the coast though in CA. But would love to discuss.
The price of used cars now is...inflated to say the least. Been looking for a W204 for many months casually and I’ve seen a few polar white 507’s go up for sale. There’s one still for sale that has 83k miles and they are asking $40,000.But it’s been sitting since around January.
There’s one in AZ that is in designo magno (matte silver) that has 55k miles with no lsd. They are asking $47,000 plus another 1.5k for some dealer bs. IMO these are both overpriced. Then again there is a shortage now so dealers are feeling justified in marking up used inventory.
The tough part is there is no kbb to gauge an estimate so I’ve been looking at p31 pricing and adding some on top because the 507 package was a 9k option and from what I can tell nobody knows the actual number of sedans that were brought to the states (so rarity plays a part).
There’s a loaded polar white sedan just posted last week here (has most options except carbon fiber trim and something else I forget) with 40 thousand miles and they are asking $45,500. So I would say somewhere less than that.
Orrrr since I’m interested I would say 30k...haha kidding. Let me know how to contact. This is my first post (been lurking for a min!) so I can pm if I have the privilege (not sure if you need a certain post count). Thanks!
weird a 507 wouldn't have a back up camera. Also baby seat is definitely going cause price reduction. People want stock cars so mods are worthless, Infact pulling the stripes off may be cause for price reduction as well. You should replace the other idler pulleys and the tensioner for the belt as well. They all crap out. Looks like a good clean car. Used car values are pretty stupid right now so 40k is probably fair on a private sale. In normal times i'd say 35k.

Leaves imprints, sometimes permanent, on the seats. I'm probably just dramatic but to me that's a big deal on a car that is my pleasure / toy car. I bought a whole separate car (bmw x5) for my dog just because I didn't want her romping on the seats in my C or E.
I'd do as others have mentioned and get this car back to stock. Get the 507 stickers on the side, put the fender badges on, and I'd bump the height back up too. You're entitled to your preferences obviously but the closer you get this car to looking like a stock 507 the more you'll bring in for it.
