I'm going to sell it no doubt, just not sure how yet.
Hype, I wish you great luck on whatever you decide to do. You need to please yourself and not others in this case.

I sold both of mine to the dealership. Sure they lowball you but I like peace of mind. I don't want random people coming and test driving the car.

My last s550, I put it on autotrader for a few days... actually had a great cash offer 2 days later but i wasnt ready as I hadnt found a replacement yet. I wound up trading the car for a few g's less 2 weeks later. Its def wrth the $50.00 autotrader ad to see if theres anyone looking for that car.

I'm sure with time one can sell higher than the dealer but there are several factors that come in play especially for me. Offer doesn't necessarily mean they will end up buying the car. I don't need multiple people wasting my time just to get free test drives. I don't want to entertain people multiple times. Definitely don't need hassle of someone coming after me claiming I sold them a defective car.

I read an article recently where some guy bought a printer on eBay and then sued the seller for false advertising. As I continued reading the article it turned out the buyer has a string of lawsuits against various sellers for similar thing

Who needs that hassle. I rather lose few thousand dollars that take a chance.

I once lit a cigar with a $100 bill and then threw in the fireplace.

At a restaurant where the fireplace is next to the table.

Lol. I thought it fit in perfectly here.
Not to thread Jack.

To be fair I felt like a G for a moment. I leaned over,lit the hundred-dollar bill in the fire, put it to my cigar then threw the hundred back in.
​​​​​​
After that I ordered a Cognac and went home with two girls.

This was in Whistler village.

The end

Now someone buy this gentlemans fine car.

No bad decisions Hype....just more or less costly ones here.

Well, for those interested: I turned in my keys to the dealer (MB of Durham) for 45K. Clean title in hand and one less car in the drive.....bittersweet. It was a good car, never let me down and looked nice too.
Thanx for the good times Gents, off and away!

No trade.....car sale isn't taxable here.

Only set of HRE that is 20 are the M303's, with a small blemish.......they could use a repaint too. They have tires with some life left on them too. I'd be happy with 3K

Well, the car is gone, but I, for one, hope you will continue to hang out here. I’ve enjoyed your wit & insights and look forward to hearing of your new acquisitions, whenever they may come along. Catch ya a little further down the trail. Take care Hype.

Wow! I start posting here after a few years of hibernation due to poor health and you fly away. It must be me. 😭 In all seriousness, good luck to you.

Had a blind offer to trade in my 2014 of 47K at my Mercedes dealer on a base 2018. MSRP of 108K.
My car was 145K new. If he thinks i an going to trade at a cost of 25K year hes fooling himself.
I guess a lot of customers fall for that gimmick. I plan to keep mine a very long time.

Hate to say it UnderV but your car is probably worth around 47K. These cars drop in value like panties on prom night regardless of the MSRP, options and packages. Biggest factor is mileage but assuming you have 30-40K miles on yours.
