FS 2005 Slk55 Black/Black with 16500 miles in SoCal

Hey Guys,
Had to relist in autotrader since my old link expired so I figured its easier to start a new thread. The options on the car are:
Bi-Xenon Lights, Heated Seats, Airscarf, Navigation,
Harmon Kardon with Sat Radio, Chromed Wheels, Tinted windows

For mbworld members my price is 43500. Looking to get it sold this weekend, otherwise I think its off to CarMax. Here is a pic


In the interest of disclosure, the car was in an accident 7 months ago and I did have the rear bumper and trunk replaced by the body shop that my dealer (MB Escondido) uses. They did an unbelievable job and even the insurance agent said if he didn't have the paperwork he wouldn't be able to tell. There are no issues with the car and the factory warranty is still valid til June of next year. Email me if you guys have any questions philip_margiotta@hotmail.com. Also here is a link to the ad in autotrader it has a couple of more pics and my number.

Thanks. It is a great looking car, and if it wasn't for the need for 4 seats I would probably just keep it, especially since I have my wife conviced a 911 is the perfect family transport

Put it on ebay, you'll get a better price there than carmax.

They offered 39k which was decent from what I've been hearing. On the other hand I also took in an 06 Navigator Ultimate 4x4 with every option and custom wheels and they only offered me 28k. So it really seems hit or miss. I have to say though it doesn't hurt to take it there, it takes about half an hour for them to conduct the appraisal and then they give you an offer in writing good for 7 days.
