How much should I sell my E-500 for?

I have a 2003 E-500 in excellent condition. The car has 34,000 miles, is silver with black interior and premium package. It has new brakes and new Michelin PS2 tires. There are no dings or body damage. I want to sell it privately. I live in West Los Angeles. I am willing to price it for a fairly fast sell. What price would you ask? I have been offered $25 - $27K for trade in at the dealership.

I was thinking of the 29500 - 30,500 range.

I actually think 25-27K is fair at the dealership. Keep in mind your W211 is the first production year. For around 32-35K you can buy a 2004 E500 so it doesn't make much sense for someone to pay 30K for a 2003 E500. I don't think an educated buyer will pay 29.5K for a 2003 E500 for this reason. Put it in th emarket and see what happens. I think 27K at the dealership is not bad at all.

2003 E500 has premium package?? I don't think so. It has E01, E02,E03 packages. HK sound, sport package...etc. If you have extended warranty, you can easy sell it for around $29 to 30k. If no warranty, then probably around $27k. But... You can always ask for $30k if there are buyer who likes your car.

One of my guest offers $32k for my 03 E500 with extend warranty and 20" Maya STM wheels. My car is almost fully loaded (sport, HK, wood steering wheel, keyless go, truck closer, pano roof..etc) without Navi with 40k miles. Still under factory warranty (8/27/03 purchased date) with 2 years extended warranty.

Good luck!!
