Went to three separate Benz Dealers for a trade value on my R with 3500 miles on it,45,000 was the high. Was told there is no movement on the vehicle new let alone preowned.

Well they seem to be having a $5K incentive! So the base cost for a new one is invoice - $5K. Subtract 15-20% for the fact that is not new, and you have your answer. What was the sticker on your car?

Do you hate the car?

or why do you want to trade with only 3500 miles?

Per the options, sticker is upwards of $52K. If you discount the $5k incentives going around, 0 mile car would be about $47k.

SInce this one has 4200+ miles, it is a 15% hit given the incentives out there.

BTW - price now $40,989!
