Sorry for the delay with the price and pictures. but here they are. The current mileage is 15,700 miles. The reason for the difference in mileage was because I copied and pasted a feeler I put up on June 16th and forgot to change the mileage. Sorry about that. Here is the thread.

I hope those links work. Can you please reference where you got your numbers from? It looks like they are 12-18 months old.

This is what I have as of October 31st. I clicked on the link you provided but it just shows a list of options without the options being clicked. Below is the list of all the options as well as the adjustment for the options and the mileage. I added extra to the price mainly because it is a CPO. Normally, Edmunds provides that value to me, but this time it didn't...weird. But look this over and let me know. Thanks.

The reality is that the R500 is about as valuable as a stack of door stops right now. Dont get me wrong it is WONDERFUL car but asking between 35 and 40k is just out of touch with the markets.
The car is worth about 25-28k MAX as they are going through the auctions at price well below that.
You do have some nice option and low miles but thats more of a reason why it will sell rather than it selling for top dollar. Cars with the AMG sport package and AirMatic (with low miles) have sold for 28k recently. Those cars have 5k more in equipment.

Agreed.
My 2006 Saks 5th Ave R500 stickered for just a hair under 70 grand. They all had the exact same MSRP as they all came in the exact same color with the exact same options. As of today, it's worth about 25K with 30K on the clock.
Sad....so very sad. Wife wants a Range Rover or Cayenne but I just can't pull the trigger with the R losing so much value, so soon.

Better believe it, I got my R500 with 11K on it for $35K with a clear bra and all options you see on the sig last Feb. Stickered new for 62K! 
Sorry to say, you won't fetch anywhere near $30K for the one you are selling now. The market is what reality is, not Edmunds. Good Luck!

Thanks, I appreciate the opinions. I never actually stated an asking price. Mercedestech2 offered me ~$22k but I don't believe the car's value to be that low. I based the pricing on Edmunds and he did also, but none of the options were added so I added them to give him/everyone an accurate pricing "model" as a basis for anyone who would want to make an offer. The "going rate" obviously will be taken into account.

22k seems qutie reasonable right now if the car is not sold yet. Anthing over mid to high 20's is just insanity.
At that point its more of a car to just keep and let wear out. I had the sad realization that every car I own is worth nothing in the current market. There is nothing we can do about it!
But as a personal recommendation I would hold out for a car with AirMatic. It makes the car 100% better. I was heart broken when I heard MB had removed the option in 2007 for the NA market.
