I don't know if this helps but...

From what I've seen, you usually get more for your car when you part it out. I know it's time consuming and can probably be a hassle when you have to sell to so many different people but I think that's the best way. How much are your mods worth? was KBB a Private Party Value?

HI,
i spend about $12000 for the mods and it's not include the installation or paints. Yes, the $48000 is the private Party Value. THank you very much for your help.

This is just my opinion and I'm not pro but this is what I think...
If you part it out, you'll probly get like 7G'z for the Aftermarket Parts. If you add the KBB Value of 48K to the 7K you get 55K. If you can get anymore than 55K you're getting more than you would by doing all the work of parting it out. So I think anything above 55-56 should be good. But hopefully you'll be able to get like 58-60? Good Luck with your sale. Hope this helps!

Just so you know...you might want to wait until after June to sell...

There is a $4000 dealer incentive to sell the CLK 500 right now.

I've been getting quotes of $4000 under invoice.

I would try to get more than 48. I was offered 48 from a BMW dealer in trade. Granted he could have buit it into the discount but with all your mods, I would sell it for no less that 50, maybe more like 52-54.

Nice, I did't know anyone had the whole Carlsson kit in California. You should post more often. If you decide to part it out, I would be interested in your front bumper. We could do a swap plus cash. Anyways, nice ride and I think it will be easier to sell if you return to stock. There just aren't that many people willing to by a modified car and those who like modded cars want the fun of doing it their way, you know? Good luck.
