W208 CLK55 pricing
I am selling my vehicle and need input ASAP! It is a 2001 CLK55 with less than 12k miles. I believe my options are below in my signature. I was told I could extend the waranty through Benz for 1,500usd since I have less than 15k miles. Should I extend the warranty then sell? How much should I expect if I trade it in vs selling it myself? The car is in excellent shape... THANKS SO MUCH FOR ANY INPUT!!!

My warranty is up in less than 6 months (next April) and I'm nervous about entering the post-warranty period (some personal setbacks and a lot of house repairs/repainting has depleted my previously decent available cash supply).

No longer car shopping...
Most 0'1 would already be out of warranty (unless they were a left over '01 that was not sold until 02. Therefore, I don't think you can warranty a car that is already out of warranty (by anybody). Another thing is that the comparison pricing (Kelly Blue Book, Auctions, etc) will NOT have warranties included in their pricing. With the low milage you should ALREADY be able to ge the best price available for this car. Unfortunately, that figure is slightly above wholesale on these cars. My recommendation is that you plan on waiting for the right buyer. Shoot for $34K and be happy if your able to get $32K out of it (If you have NAVI). If you don't have NAVI, probably closer to $30K. KBB with ANVI and 15K miles if $34K for private part and $30K for Wholesale
