2002 Clk430

I will be purchasing a 2003 CLK500 in late July (or early August) and will be selling my 2002 CLK430 coupe. It is silver with charcoal. I have xenon headlamps, heated seats, NAVI/command, sunroof, sunshade, cd changer, and tinted windows. The vehicle has less than 4,000 miles. The car is in showroom condition and is always garaged.

What should I expect to get for this car if I sold it in the next month?

Should I simply trade it in for the tax cedit?

Any input would be great.

Also if anyone is interested please pls. let me know.

Yes - unless you like to get hassled.

Coupe or cab?

...either way, be prepared to take a $8 - 10k bath.

With less than 5000 miles you should expect a decent price.

I would say sell it yourself....the buyer has to pay sales tax...not you.

Maybe $53,000.00 ?

I have to believe that you'd get that much since I picked up mine with less than 8000 miles (CLK430, 2000 model) for 43,000.00 . Your car is virtually new.

Check the internet.

Thanks for the input, Quaz. When I said save on the tax I meant when I trade the car in I'd be saving on the tax of the new one. (roughly $2,750-3k)

Cool.

Let me know if you decide to sell. I know some folks who are in love with my CLK....they might be in the market for one.
