Hi everyone.... Recently I was rear ended by a young girl at a stop sign(nobody injured) and as you can imagine it's looking very expensive to fix. She has Geico who accepted liability. How can I determine the value of my car if there are none like it on the market. I checked KBB and NADA and the numbers don't look good. Are there any other sources? Thank you.

It’s hard to believe the books are so low. I have a 2011 E350 cabriolet with 96,000 miles on it that I’ve had two years. A national used car dealer last month offered me $6,500 MORE than I paid for it! (I haven’t done any mods or any changes to the car) I thought about it but I like having a convertible for weekend drives.

I can’t imagine that the books are that far behind

Good Luck

Sorry, that's a losing situation. I've found Edmunds online to be helpful. They are updated more than the books. Hopefully you get what you need.

How did that happen did you purchase the car at a very discounted price?

Wow crazy to see people buying 10 yr old MB..good luck when soon brake down..

Looks like the average price for a 2013 E350 Coupe is about $11,000. Given that it's almost 11 years old and has nearly 100,000 miles on the clock, I don't think that's terribly surprising, but then I'd never consider buying a car that old, and I suspect that most MB buyers are of the same mind. It's a somewhat limited market.

What a dumb comment.

I just recently picked up a 2013 E350 Coupe with 100,300 miles for 11.5k with extensive service history and well maintained.

Older MB’s are not a problem if maintained and taken care off. I have never owned a brand new one as I am not willing to pay these absurd new car prices and have the vehicle depreciate like crazy.

All the MB’s I currently own or have owned (with exception of my wife’s 2018 GLC300) are at least 10 years old or older and all have treated me well. Again, purchase a clean, well taken care off car with a service history and it will treat you well.

And personally, I believe the older Mercedes cars are way better built and put together compared to the new ones.

Have you done a nationwide search on cars.com, including other years? This will show them rough market value. I’ve done that before with a Lexus SC430 when the insurance company came in with a lowball offer.

My god...these machines have to qualify as a genuine bargain...in the used car world.. at that price point! Our other car (a 2022 BMW x740) had a list price of over $90k. I much prefer our 2013 e350 coupe...albeit different animals.

I do.

FWIW, based o a quick search of cars.com, I would peg your car being valued at $15-20k as that's what it would cost to replace it. Unfortunately for you the Lorinser body kit and extended warranty don't play into what the insurance company will pay out unless you had the body kit listed with them.

They don't get to dictate the payout and, as long as you have data to back up the value you're asking for, they should be willing to work with you.

That's due to the additional electronics/computers in modern cars, it's pretty much true of all brands now.
