Value of Bluetec SUV's?

Just wondering if anyone has recently sold or traded their BlueTec SUV? I'm thinking of replacing my '15 ML250. I asked the SA in Florida what he thought and he said that used diesels are in demand. Mine is in great shape and low miles. What do you think, sell or trade?

Prices are crazy right now. Sellers are making a lot of money. The problem comes if you have to replace it with another car...

Bluetec SUV are probably the cheapest vehicles from the MB family.
I am trying to sell our pristine 2018 GLE and can't get the $27k I think it should be worth at least. The truck has 4 years AEM warranty and I consider OM651 engine the best diesel that ever made it to America.
Dealer offered me $15k for it.
V6 have even less value.

2013 ML350 Bluetec
Traded my '13 E350 4matic for a '13 ML350 bluetec 4matic back in January. 64k miles on the car, 51K miles on the SUV. Mercedes dealer allowed $17K for the car trade in, I gave them a $10K check ($27K total) for the ML. Love the SUV.
Saw the car listed on the MB dealer website 3 days later for $22K. Somebody got a better car than they know - it had new tires, fresh filters and fluids, camber adjusters on the back, fresh alignment.
