Thinking of selling car, what's the market like?
My car had a 91k sticker and is a 2005, flint gray with back interior, and it's loaded. I also have 20 inch Maya STM, Carlson Lowering Module, and Rennetch Declid. Currently it has 13k on the clock. What is wholesale and what is retail on it or could I get selling it privately? Thanks in advance.

Drives Slowly
Duane, My advice is to keep the car. I looked into a trade-in for a 06 CLS55, and it was not pretty. I think they wanted to give me $68,000 for my 05 (7,000 miles and loaded). I told the sales guy to take a flying fuc... and then I sent my car to Kleemann.
