Is this a fair price for this car?

I know this is not the classified section, but I need help with pricing.

2005 E55
Purchased w/9000 miles in 2008. Loaded.
I would rate the condition at 97% with just a few very minor nicks and scratches. This car is just about as loaded as it came back in 2005 with: Factory navigation, Keyless Go, Panorama sunroof, Phone System with VCS, Power rear window sunshade, Rear side window blinds, Parktronic, 6-CD changer, Burl Walnut, Charcoal/Dark blue Leather, Electronic trunk closer, # 317 Comfort package and # 319 Lighting package.

All services recommended by Mercedes-Benz has been completed by my local Mercedes dealership, copies included with car. Rear tires new 2400 miles ago. This vehicle has always been garaged in an air-conditioned space.

This car is 100% stock. Never modified.

$27900.

HOW IS THE PRICING... too low or about right given condition/mileage????

Help,
Jason

I think that is a great price.

In fact... if you can hold out a while, I would even go even higher.


I think that car is so clean and so well optioned, you'll catch a buyer that is
looking for exactly what you've got and willing to pay a premium for it.

It's difficult to find them with mileage in the 20's.

Seriously! Why couldn't this have been for sale when I bought mine? I would have paid you 27900 all day long!

I am with you. I would price this car even higher and see what happens. Ignore all of the bottom feeders who cry about the pricing and beat you down. A car like that is hard to find, and someone will recognize that and pay accordingly. Quite honestly, that car is so nice that eventhough though that is not a color combo I personally like, I would have given it serious consideration when I was buying a car because it is SOOOO nice and well maintained.

How does a car go from 2005 to 2008 and only rack 9000 miles? Believe it or not I actually kinda steer away from cars with TOO low mileage. Regardless, that's a fantastic price imo...you should maybe ask a but more to allow room for haggling..lol.

It happens. I have a car of mine that has only accumulated about 2,500 miles in the past 4 years. Actually, it has only gone 238 miles in the past year and a half.

Is it a collector car though ( like the NSX )?

your priced too low. should be closer to 31-32k. I bought an 05 with 28k miles on it last october with the all your options but the parktronic for 33k. Perfect condition with new rear tires.
