1999 E55 AMG W210 162K miles

Hi guys, I just got a new car to replace my E55 that has been my daily for 21 years! While my E55 does have a few issues it is a 1 owner always garaged rust free california car with a freakish engine that uses no detectable oil between 6K mile oil change interval.

040 black paint
Black leather interior with gray headliner
Original 18" monoblock wheels.

Issues are:
A few dings and scratches from life
The inside of the trunk is scratched up from where my wheelchair goes
rear bumper paint flaking a bit.
curb rash on a few wheels

Extras include a $10k stereo with eclipse head and Zapco competition amps (has a dirty trim pot in head unit so left channels cut out at low volume) still sounds amazing at high volume.

The car runs great and it's still very fast!

How do I figure out what is a fair price for my car?

Not 100% sure I want to sell...

Thanks!

I bought a 2000 with 138k on odometer in impeccable condition for $2500. I did have the wheels refinished bec of curb rash and spent many hours buffing paint to bring it back to life. but other than that car is really clean and interior literally looked like it had never been sat in. Unfortunately, the stereo you have really doesn’t add value and you’re a pre-facelift car. Not to offend, but I’d say 4K at most but obviously haven’t seen pics. Here’s mine now after suspension upgrade.

E55, GLS450, GL63, GLE350
The least expensive one on Autotrader is $6.8k. I would start there if you fix the radio.

You stole that one for $2.5k and are unlikely to find a deal like that again. I wouldn't sell mine with close to double the mileage for that price.
