Any ballpark on value (pic)
2001 E430 sport
Brand new paint, clear a mi deep body is perfect.
Interior is ultra clean garaged since new
needs nothing mechanically....we need to fix the front windows and radio code first
Brand new Conits.
Con-150k mi but this is the tightest feeling car Ive ever driven.
We are the 3rd owners and have a mountain of recepts from MB. Have driven ultra clean 60k mi E series that didnt compare. BUT its an old higher mi MB how many arent?
she loves this thing but is a freak about any ding or scratch were better off getting one thats decent but not too nice. Our insurance told us around 7-8k as we got some dings and scratches taken out I have my doubts.
Ballpark "Real world" price range?
Thanks

Nice car! But reality is people do not appreciate these cars. Real value is much higher but we are not the ones to decide. KBB is running the show. I these cars depreciate a lot, I mean a lot. I see you are in Cali as well, people here will pay 10K for a trash can toyota or honda but would never pay 8K for these gem. Year and mileage is playing big role in price. If car has no issues at all and is very clean I would keep it and drive it for years to come. But if you just wanna get another car and dont need it, do not expect big bucks for it.
My dad is driving 1998 E430 and last year he passed 500K KM on original tranny and engine in Europe. I drive 1999 E55 with 160K miles, KBB is asking $3000 for it. But I would never sell it even for 15K
Its my baby

I hear ya , thanks. Mileage kinda kills it but after almost 2 yrs of looking we could only find 2 ultra low mi E class cars that were true "good cars" the rest were salvaged, had issues etc
Only reason were thinking of selling is were having issues with vandalism..it looks more expensive than it is and gives the local scum a reason to ruin your day.

If the wheels are original AMG and no scratches, they are worth couple of grands.
if aftermarket chrome job is holding.
I don't care about the rest, especially that I don't buy story about the car being painted a month before sale.

What do you think the wheels are worth? We bought brand new conti sports about 2 weeks ago. She doesnt like the rubber band look.
She is used to 16 or 17 with a little taller sidewall, been trying to talk her into selling them and putting something more tame on.
