Is the used MB market slow or something?
I put my 2002 E320 on autotrader.com about a month ago and in our local paper and...................................nada, zip, nothing. Not one phone call! I see the same cars from my local MBdealer have been on there for months with no movement as well. So, is the used car market just slow right now? Or is it my area? Central Ohio. Seems like the world has stopped. Real estate isn't moving either. Just curious. And a little frustrated.

.... nothing to brag about, it is a previous model....
For some reason, this area "used card" actually moving faster than new car. (except hybrid car, you will have to be on waiting list for at least 2 months)
Have you tried Craigslist?

I second the Craigslist recommendation.
I paid $50 to list my SL in the Washington Post & Cars.com a few years ago...not a single call. Then I put a free aad on RoadFly and it sold almost immediately. Try RoadFly as well.

market your car everywhere, especially the free spots. Roadfly, craigslist, and the forum boards. If you want to get called from autotrader, you need to stand out as the best buy on it, which means a very low offer price.
