Got a Dilemma.. Dealer offered to buy my 18 gles63s back...
Had the wife's car in for Service and my Sales guy George and I where talking about the lack of cars... he said they would buy my car back at what i payed for it 2 yr ago.....
Oh boy............ i have other vehicles so I don't need to buy a replacement any time soon....
Dam It George, I'm thinking about it....
It's 521 AMG Night Package version, I think it's every option but the exhaust...

Kbb, nada, Edmonds and the like all seem to be hooked up with dealers, so I haven't been able to find a book value without getting an "offer" from a dealer.
I am not interested in an offer, just a market price based on auctions and dealer reports, as those sources used to provide.

Tough to get a good value.... AMG's are not that common so not a lot of data.... i go to truecar/carfax etc and see what they are asking.... best guess....

I would look at what dealers are actually asking (they are in a business of selling and not just holding onto cars) in the area and how long the cars are on their lots. Obviously we're are talking only about MB dealers and only CPO cars. From carfax one knows when certification took place hence they have a car about a week before it at most. Knowing how long it is on a lot is important to know - the longer it is the more they're willing to "deal".
Naples, always on high side (they have 2 G63s and want about $250K for each, I know totally different vehicle/image/demand), has two '19 63S CPO (11.5K & 21.5K miles). They want $103K for each. Hence I do not see Sarasota paying anywhere close to $95K for '18.

They will sell the car for original MSRP.
I have seen this in about 5 MB dealers in Florida already recently.
Used cars sell for original sticker.
2021 GLS63 with 15K on the odometer selling for 20K over sticker.

This is W166 forum. The original MSRP of his '18 GLE63S was around $120K. He bought it about 2 years ago (it was a leftover from the previous year hence such great discount for 63) for about 25% off or around $95K. They will try to resell the car at $95K (but it won't be easy since '19s go for about that), hence would have to pay well less. OP is not saying how much the dealer (not salesman) actually offered, but knowing that dealer, I would not be surprised with $80K offer (if not less).

Not "Allowance" towards something else, which isn't the ACV (Actual Cash Value) and could include "over-allowance") which includes some magic numbers hiding ACV.
You don't need to figure out their motives, just ask "How Much - Today?"

The only important thing to know is.... What are they offering?

There is no need to check inventories to find out what the dealer was offering.
Skip all that research that you were advising and just ask them "how much will you give me for my car?"
But I think the OP was smart enough already.

Of course you are not the OP, but it seemed like you hadn't read the original post, and you were giving irrelevant advice.

BTW this is not the first jab from you towards my posts. If I tick you off that much, why even read? There is an ignore button to save aggravations.

My "irrelevant advice" was to alert the OP not expect anything close to $95K original teaser. The fact the OP has not posted the actual offer, tells me that they offered significantly less than the teaser just as I predicted.

I just had a differing opinion and posted it. I'm not sure why you would call a response a "jab."
My opinion was that, to find the price offered, just ask. Instead of doing all the web and phone research you suggested. Maybe you just wanted to get a "Jab" in at the Sarasota Dealer, since you mentioned it several times in this thread. But that's your opinion too.
A lot of your posts are worthwhile, but if you don't want a dialog, maybe end your posts with "please don't respond."

Last week I was offered $65K for my '17 GLE63 with 18K miles. You can forget about 8-cylinder bi turbos being made anymore. I am going to keep it.
