Considering selling my 2012 c63 sedan
#26
i've answered this already, scroll up.
predictions? all i've done was breaking down what has happened already, sold records; then, relate it to OP's "asking price".
and you seem to go back and forth in regards what is a collector car, because it was clear that you mentioned this from the first reply in this thread:
so if a non-BS isn't a collector car, why compare OP's mileage with one?
don't answer that, please, you've done enough of contradictions already.

You wanted to revisit prices, well we revisited with respect to cars similar to OPs and prices for even low mileage facelift standard non p30 cars clearly aren’t where you thought they would be. IMO you bought into thinking COVID pricing trends were going to continue forever. You were very confident in your forecasts (or whatever it is you wish to call them) concerning pricing trends. Not even 40k for a 19k mile car? Not good, but I do think in the long term standard c63 with low mileage and desirable color combos do pretty well.

I do think a very very low mileage good color combo standard c63 has a chance at becoming relatively valuable in a five or ten years, but collector was a strong word.

time and time again, i've made my point on how and why, at the time and tbh even still, now, that when OP had the thought of having an "asking price" (do you know what that is? an asking price?) of $30k on his 2012 facelift; granted w/ 90k mi, it's much sought-after than pre-facelift, how convenient of you to leave that out, as other things, too.
again, my exact words were:
