i checked it out, even with no options selected, and the car is in great condition by the looks and description, worth about $40k trade-in value.

2000 Mercedes S500
I bought my '00 S500 for $43k when it had 39,000 miles. Figure an '00 S500 should cost the same as an '01 S430 if they had qual mileage. I've seen S classes on ebay with about 70k miles go for under $30k. Just a heads up...

Seeing that 2001 S430's with 30-40k miles are SELLING for around $42-44K, how is a dealer going to give you $40k for a car that has 120K miles? What is he going to sell it at? You've pretty much have aged your car by 8 years. Good luck trying to get 40k for it.

whoa, i'm not saying that you should be expecting to pay that much for an 01 s430 with that mileage. I said I checked it out and that's what it reported to me, so you take it with a grain of salt...not my figures.

and btw, that's not my car...i never said it was my car

Personally, I don't care who's car it is, you questioned my response so I clarified myself.

I think i was pretty clear that i said "i checked it out that's it's worth that much for trade-in" according to websites...I did not come up with those figures. I felt as if you were bashing what i reported from what i found out. Don't shoot the messenger.

that's fine if you don't care who's car it is, but putting the statement "good luck trying to get 40k for it" kind of seems like your contradicting yourself there.
