Dealer Offered Me 35,000 Canadian
Car has 70,000 K. It's an Edition 1 sedan. No accidents. Not been tracked. All options except HUD which I did not know about. Always serviced at MB Dealer.
I am just finishing the rear original tires that came on the car. Clearly I don't drive it hard enough.
I also bought the extended warranty til July 2021.
Not sure what the market is on the W205 but still a tad surprised this car has dropped more than 70% in five years.

They did an inspection on it when I bought the extended warranty.
I know AMGs drop a lot, but I kind thought maybe the car had gone from 100K to maybe 50K. But 35K was a bit of a shock. Even they know I drive it like a little old lady. I am not sure why I keep buying these cars as honestly, I don't really use them to their potential. I just like having the power, the power to hit the gas and get out of a situation. I like the better brakes, the solid build, and the sound. I just don't really use them like I should.
When I bought the car in July 2015 they suggested right away buying extra rear tires. Being in Canada, I switch from summer to winter. So I probably have like 30,000 K on the summers, and only next year will I need to replace the rears. And the winter rears, the originals, will only be replaced when I get my snow tires on in a few weeks.
IU'm just curious what the market is like at the moment as I may buy a new car in the nesxt six months and trade this in. I love the car. I just think its time for something new.

Standard dealer tactic. They hit you with a super low offer in an attempt to "shatter" your perception of the car's market value. It's a very effective tactic if you were uncertain of the value of your car going in. I expect them to increase it significantly once you start getting to negotiation.

I just looked online, the closest match I can find is a non-Edition 1 with about the same kilometres at a Porsche Dealer for about 50K. The Edition 1 package was about 10K, so I presume the market value to resell the car is around 55K. So maybe 45K is what I could get for it.
