I currently have a 2003 Silver/Charcoal SL500 with 20k miles in perfect condition w/keyless go and the wood steering wheel.I want to sell it.
At what price should I be able to move it fairly quickly(need to make room for a new toy).

 

KBB trade in value is $65,375. In NJ and I think everywhere else, if you trade it in, you won't have to pay tax on the trade amount. At NJ 6%, that equals $3,922.50. If you're selling private, stay around $70,000. That's what I would do.

 

where are u located and can u send me pics I might be interested badabingman@aol.com

 

I can get you 56k if you want.. Cash

Where are you located? Any paint work ever?

 

Gotta love the lowballers!

 

I realize this is a wholesale price. They are dropping fast, 56-58k is wholesale without sport package.. You can buy 06 for huge discounts. The street is about 3-5 months behind wholesale. In 5 months you will see them on dealer lots for those prices. Remember, our wheeled assets drop at a very fast rate, but at least they are fun..

For example, This one is available from MB credit on a buy it now type of auction for 52k. It has 43kmiles.

I'll have to agree with Willis.. I bought a 2003 silver/ash with 37k miles about 6 months ago for 61,000 with no options at a whole sale auction... ( I have a dealer license) Now they seem to have come down to around $56,000. The SLs seem to drop about $5,000 to $8,000 per year 2-4.. Until a new body style comes out.. Then jeronimo...

People out there want to get a deal if they are buying from an individual..

I'm not familar with your NJ laws of not having to pay taxes on trade ins..

My suggestion would be to find kbb's tradein value www.kbb.com then take it to a dealer to see what they would give you and then put it in the paper for like 2,000 more than the dealer offered you..

Probably around $59,000...
