Im putting up for sale my 02 e430 Sport in hope of an up-grade.
18"AMG's,70k.What do you think i can get for it?Should it go in Autotrader
or craigslist?

 

Well, what do you want for it?

Jeff

 

I would list it in as many places you can think of. eBay, and your local newspaper also - I was told your paper lists it on cars.com as well. or you should be able to deal with them directly.

If yours is loaded with options, I might be interested in it because I like the E430. However all the ones I've seen were stripped down. Sports package is nice, but what else does yours have?

My E320 has everything except for Parktronic and Multi-Contour seats, neither of which are a turn-on for me.

 

i was entertaining an up-grade; but, i realize that i have no car payments and my vehicle still rides impeccable - what are you looking for (S-class)?

 

Well, I've decided to go ahead and buy a boat.

I must be crazy.

I dont have a car payment so I can have a boat payment............

Wish me luck.

Jeff

 

You want a boat payment? Buy a W140 but then try and find someone (other than a loan shark) to finance it!

 

I hope you are buying a fast boat.

 

My e430 sport has ventalated seats,projector headlamps,express windows,im thinking i can get 20 grand.I have the stock e430 sport 17" wheels to go with it.Its mint with brand new pilot sports.I tried to upload pics with no luck.

 

Well, gentlemen, I bought a boat. Spent the last two days at the lake. Its not really expensive but I financed it so I could save cash and "HAVE" a boat payment as advertised. Its a 1988 Glastron Carlson CVX-23. Its powered by a 270 hp Chevy 350 Magnum V-8 with a top speed of about 55 mph. Its 23 ft long, is a small cuddy cabin, has been one owner since new and always stored in dry storage. New interior two years ago with many upgrades including audio. In addition I get the remaining dry storage paid by the seller until 3/08 worth about $1,000.

Got a deal and thats all that matters.................

I'll post some pics when I get some.

PS: Its a classic in design. Low profile, sleek, kind of ahead of its time maybe?

Cheers, Jeff

 

Congrats on the boat.

I would strongly suggest a USPS or USCG boating class, and a couple of advanced classes. People do stooopid things. These classes help avoid those stupid things.

At 55 mph, you better spend the money for Lifeline brand racing jackets. A regular jacket, even a type 1, will get torn off you, along with your clothes.

Don't know where you boat, but a fixed VHF with a good 8 foot antenna is recommended, along with a handheld, if going out on any substantial body of water.

A 25mm flare kit is best. 12ga don't cut it if you are in trouble.

Safety first!

 

oonick what color is your interior?

 

Interior is charcoal and exterior is brilliant silver.

 

can e-mail pics of my e430 sport,just provide e-mail address.

 

finally figured out how to upload the pic of my e430.Ckeck it out

 

For what this is worth, I was told by a dealer in a nearby town that my 2001 E320 is worth about $20,000 so I don't think you are out of line. Those are nice wheels, but I think the express windows were standard on the car. Ventilated seats were an option as were Xenon headlamps with heated washers. Before you place your ad, I would get more familiar with what are options (makes it worth more) and what was standard. Also, the mileage is a very important factor, at least to most people. Good Luck!

 

Thank you for the photo; I guess you must have figured out that we usually have to make the photos smaller before uploading. I'm sending you a PM with my email address for the rest of the pics.
