Question Price recommendations...

...Hi All, (if this is in the wrong category, my apologies)

I'm not a MB expert, so I'm glad I found this forum.

My mother has a 1999 E430 that she's wanting to sell. She has three cars and one driver and has finally seen that this is a bit on the absurd side, so she's selling her oldest car.

The vehicle has about 35k miles - original owner (little old lady car) has always been garaged, all service done by MB, and is in good condition. Flaws are one small scratch to the decklid, the telltale "not in the garage enough" scratch on the rear bumper, some minor curb rash to the stock wheels, and the hazing of the headlamp lenses.

Any recommendations as to asking price, and bottom line price?

Thanks!



(I'm working on getting it photo'd - Mom is out of town, so I may have some pics to share next week - below is an exemplar photo for color and wheels/trim types only)
