Cars are selling way under KBB in the current economy.

Maybe most cars and trucks but not the low miles R230's. With good provenances of course.

SL500
As a reference point I just paid in October, $35.5 for a 2005 SL500 with 18K miles, loaded. So yes, despite the car, the prices are way depressed in this economy. Based on this, and as much as it hurts, $22-25k is not unreasonable for your car.

Let me ask, what do you want to list it at, where are you located, what are SL's around your area going for both private party and dealerships and how soon do you want to sell it?

If you can wait, you might as well wait until spring when convertible season starts up again. If you need to sell it now, you will only see low to mid $20's. Shop it to CarMax, you'll get a realistic figure and then try your local MB dealer. Good luck and let us know what happens.

Happy New Year!
