Mannheim is useful for the trend stats - meaning how a particular maker/model is trending over recent periods..

MB dealers have specific tools that bring up competitive auctions values - current market listing - all that good stuff.

Frankly - haven't bought Mannheim general auction in a long/long/long time..
Fab, this is all great info, thank you for sharing. Are you allowed/willing to tell us how much a dealer pays to MBUSA FS for a lease turn-in? Apparently, it's not full residual.

Thanks!

So how do I read those screenshots. I am in Delaware and I see PA has a range between $38-$48,000. So a CPO GL450 anywhere in that range is a good deal?

I know December is usually a good time because of year end but other than that is now a good time to get a 14 CPO? Or should I wait until summer? Is financing through MB has any advantage over getting from another bank?

Doea it have remote start? when I do a search on cargurus should I search within a 200 mile radius?
