Fs: '05 E55
I am selling my '05 E55, inservice date 7/04, 15.800 miles, with:
040 Black
251 charcoal/charcoal Leather
163 Std Edition
319 Lighting Pkg.
528 Std Radio
540 Power rear-Window shade
819 6 Disc CD Changer
881 Electronic trunk closer
889 Keyless go
200/265 Single Compact Disc
275/365 Harmon Kardon Sound
Michelin PS2's with about 1400 miles.
So I went to the dealer I bought it from and had a Kelly BB print out-wholesale/retail value of $74,725/$83,680 (original MSRP was $85,560). I also had a custom JBL subwoofer installed in the spare tire space for $1500.00. Anyway, the, pardon the expression, Bentley dealer, told me I could take that out, as far as they were concerned and they would give me a trade in value of $65,000.00. BTW, they sell a new Continental GT at sticker, with or without trade in. I really don't want to try and sell it personally, but what is the price I should realistically expect to get for it, should I autotrader it or newspaper? I am in So. Cal..
Thank you very much

65-70K...maybe a little less since the 05's were being discounted by a lot when the 06's came out...whatever you do, sell it before the 07 E63 is out at which point your 05 will take a major blow.

$65k is a good price from a dealer, but they won't buy your car without you buying a car from them. You can probably sell your car private party from $60 to $65k. Carmax will buy you car for below auction prices.
