Looking to sell my super clean unicorn, comes with a bunch of mods and goodies. Anyone think I could get mid 30k for her.

How it work for you in the end?
Good luck with the sale.
I would also advertise it in Seattle area. Seems Silicone Valley business moved mostly there.

While it's rare to see any E550's for sale, it's not really loaded by E550's standards, no driver assistance package, no pano roof, no dynamic seats, no rear entertainment package so I wouldn't say it's a real unicorn. But that price puts you higher than any others I see on the market on cargurus. Up to about 70k, there's several for sale in the 25-28k range. This is on cargurus.com nationwide. There's a couple in the 33k range but those are dealers and the site claims they're overpriced by 2-4k.
Some of those are nice mods though so maybe you'll get lucky from someone who's interested in those.

I couldn't find any e550 sedans for sale on the west coast but maybe now I'm shooting for the low 30s instead OBO, thanks

I would sell the mods separately and sell the car for what others are going for. Probably more money as people will haggle with you and probably disregard the modifications when comparing to others for sale.

When I agree that taking easy to take mods and sell them separately might be good economical decision, when you have something that is hard to remove, just leave it in, but don't mention it in selling add, unless somebody would ask specifically.
Coming from house remodeling, it is human perception that brainwashing them with technical info will turn them away, but if the mods does noticeable difference in car looks, or performance, they will appreciate it, even when they won't notice what is it.
Human do have 6th sense, who they can't name, but when something is good, they will feel it.
Like wood steering wheel. Most of the buyers won't notice it directly, but they will like the interior much better.
I hope that make sense?

I did not notice my car came with the Wood Trim Sport Steering Wheel option, until I sat in the car and test drove it. That hefty wheel and its wood finish closed the deal for me. LOL.

Jeez it was insanely hard to find a flat bottom wood steering wheel attached to any w212 I've seen. Searched for months for a decently priced one and ended up finding a used wheel online with torn leather. Found a guy online to remove and re wrap the leather, polish the wood, and now it looks and feels like a new steering wheel. Dealer says brand new is something like $3300, that's insane when the option from factory was just a few hundred,

I have that exact same flat bottom wood wheel as you do and it makes a huge difference on the interior aesthetic
