Question Value of ML430 to sell (and interest check)

I'm helping a family friend sell their W163. I don't have the VIN and complete options list yet, but I do know that it is a 2000 ML430 with 130k. One owner, well maintained, most if not all options, including navigation. KBB is suggesting between 5k and 6k private party, but given the tight market for these vehicles, I question its accuracy. What would you estimate this vehicle is worth? Also, if there's any interest in it on the forums, I'm happy to provide more information.

Thanks !

So do you think KBB values are too high or too low? In my opinion, KBB is just another tool by the dealer to inflate prices on their used cars. Edmunds.com is far more realistic.

a 2000 ML430 with 117k miles sold for $4,400 recently on ebay here.

I would guess it would be hard to get more then $5,000.
