Please advise on dealer's offer...
Hello all,
In 2012 I bought a red CPO 2009 SLK300 with 5K on it. It has nagivation heated seats and HK speakers. Last week I bought to the dealer because sometimes the AC is slow to come on. I was advised the thermostat and compressor need to be replaced that will cost me 6K ! I wanted to trade in for a new car and the dealer lowballed me at 7500.00 as the trade in value. The car has 45K miles, very well kept and is in excellent condition. I am asking you to tell me what a fair trade in will be. I am thinking of asking 20K as the trade in value. I look forward to your guidance. Dai

09 SLK 300
I just bought a mint 09 SLK300 with 34k miles and it was less than what you are looking to get on trade from the 'preowned' lot of a multibrand dealership (one being mercedes). It has several AMG packages (bumper / body kit / wheels / sport suspension and manual mode/paddle shifter automatic). Average dealer retail for the base model was 16-21k if I remember correctly. I would guess trade-in should be around 10k and up depending on options.
The problem with your car is age - most dealers will only keep a car that is maybe 3 years old. Everything else goes to auction. The dealer I purchased mine at set up a separate lot for cars that were too nice for auction, but not within the normal criteria to sell as certified, etc.
