feeler: 2001 Purple C320 w/ a few mods

So, I'm considering getting rid of my C320 and I'm wondering what sort of price I might be able to get.

It's purple
non-LED S-class tail lights
clear corners
carlsson quad tip exhaust
105k miles
almost every factory option (no xenon, nav, phone)

It has a few small issues that I will probably get fixed before I sell it- control arm bushings need to be replaces, either a coil pack or ignition wires seem to be bad causing a rough idle at times, the AC fan sometimes makes a very quiet whining sound, seat memory doesnt seem to work, and the rear bumper for some reason seems to need to be remounted (probably from when the carlsson exhause was installed). It does have some scratches and dings here and there as can be expected from a 6 or 7 year old car with over 100k miles. However, mechanically it's been maintained very well and has many strong, reliable miles left.

Make me an offer on the carlsson exhaust... the only thing is that I would need your old one if I sold it.

That's the funniest part of the description!

I'm sure you've tried KBB and other sites to determine the value. But put some pics up, maybe someone will be interested.

Good luck!

LOL, well I don't know what all was optional and what was standard. All I know is that it has pretty much every little feature... I guess that's just because it is a 320.

Anyhow, yes I got a number from KBB. However, it isnt really an average C320 (purple, for one...).

ehh.. I'm not for sure that I want to do it... I may just keep it and get a 540i in addition... not sure what I want to do

However, it would be really cool to have both benz and bmw keys on my keyring while i'm still in college

ehhh... yeah, I did give him ****. However, I'm starting to feel that I need something more mature and relaxing and less out there. Something more calm and reserved, but with more brute power lurking subtly beneath the hood, ready to spring forth when I need it.
