selling your car

With the upcoming new w212 coming out, + the prices of used cars going down by the day along with the recession, it might be a smart move to sell your car within the next few months, else
you might not be able to get out for a while.

I bought an ml500 right before the new one came out, and resale prices immediately after it released immediately dropped 5k>

Post sounds like a sales person attempting to ramp up business. Not so sure about your logic given "current" economy, read this http://www.autoremarketing.com/ar/ne...y.html?id=9015

That's an interesting Link Konigstiger, I would have never known. I thought the whole industry was in a major downward spiral, looks like CPO sales are doing damn well. What I do wonder is why so many Dealers and Salesman are saying that their Businesses are dramatically down though? I know Sales on a Used vehicle get a MUCH higher sales bonus.
