OK, i'll stick my neck out: i'd say around $23K for PP sale.
sorry if that's not the figure you had in mind. i got the trade-in version of sticker shock when the dealer told me how much they would give me for mine.
i'm sure you already know one can recoup more by selling mods seperately.
good luck with the upgrade!

TRuth is, those cars are only bringing 18 to 21K on the street. 15 to 17 on trade. The mods don't add any value on resale. In fact, you will find that factory rims and stereo will get you the same money if not closer to the above figures. Add-ons like big speakers limit to span of potential buyers so you usually get offered less as a result. You'd be better off returning to stock as cheaply as possible and selling your mods separate as previously suggested.
I do like those from lower fog lights.. How did you get those in? I'm wanting to do the same to my 04.

you can get great deals right now on cpo cars.
we just upgraded to a 2003 S500,we were going to trade our E320 in but it kelly blue for $19000 and the dealer could only go $12000.we sold the E to a private party for $16000.the problem that the buyers on your car will be faced with is that they will have to come up with a pretty hefty down pay because of the year and miles,same with our E.we payed $34000 for the S500 44000 miles and 2 year 100,000 bumper to bumper included.we arent that good at going toe to toe with dealers and im sure someone else could have done better but the dealers are starving for nuts like us that are willing to pay $40,000 for a preowned vehicle.you have definitly got leverage right now. bones.

That's a good deal. I got my 04 last month for 39.1k, 5000 miles, non sport, but it has parktronic, keyless, comfort, voice control, and trunk closer.
