What is my car worth?

This is a genuine question, I'm not trying to bypass the classifieds looking for offers. I can really use some opinions on rough value. I love the car, but I just don;t use it. I hate to see it just sit, then again I really do enjoy driving it. I'm really conflicted on whether to sell it or not. I know they're not real valuable so It's more a question of having someone actually use it and get it out of my garage instead of sitting there unused. On the other hand, It's really a blast to drive on the occasions I do use it. Knowing what it would bring in a sale (approximately) would help me make up my mind if I want to sell it or not.

It's a 2006 E55. Very good condition but not a trailer queen. It's a driver but a very nice one. On a 1 to 10 scale, 10 being perfect I would say it's a 7-8. It's black with a black/blue interior. Pano roof. 19" Roderick RW2 staggered wheels with 2 year old Michelin PS2's with about 3/4 tread left on them. Aftermarket flat bottomed steering wheel with shifter paddles. Eurocharged engine and transmission tunes on it. All stock otherwise. 102,000 miles on it. Runs perfectly. Fuel tank and pumps, electronic brake pump replaced iunder expended MB warranty within the past year. Any ideas anyone?

Post some detailed pics. That will help with figuring out a value. And someone may hit you with an offer quick.

Really I see them at 12 to 15k with the miles on it. Really clean with a little more mods ...around 15-16k from dealers.

Pics would help. I'm a fan of the black blue interior. In Houston probably 13k or so. Would have to see it.

Black and blue interior sounds nice. Oh man, try to enjoy it some more; until something breaks, then sell it lol. But really. Sounds like you may still have a soft spot for it These times are so uncertain. I'm sure from the description someone would like to own it.

In looking for pics of it I realize now that I don't have many good ones. I'm really not set on selling it, I just hate to see it sit. I don't have to tell you guys what a blast they are to drive. Here's what I can find for photos on short notice.

I lowered it with STAR, here's a couple of shots of it lowered.

Keep in mind that Kelly Blue Book (KBB) only looks at the tangible facts, like age, mileage and wear. They don't consider the upgrades that you have have performed.
My 07 E63 with 91K has a residual price of about $9000, but is worth far more than that to me. When you consider that all maintenance issues, have been resolved and the interior and exterior upgrades.
I currently have more money invested in this car, then it's actually worth. So basically it comes down to how much are you willing to sale it for, and how much is the buyer willing to spend for it.

Hi Doug, please check your email. I am an old lurker but new member here so can’t send messages yet. Beautiful ride, please let me know if you’re willing to sell as I’ve been looking for a similar spec to keep as a daily driver for quite some time. Thanks

The W211 is the 21st century W123 - both of which are some of DB's best achievements. I see no advantage in replacing mine. If the E55K does not impress you every time you drive it, than there's something wrong with it.

You sound a lot like me before I sold my E63. It sat in the garage, I fully enjoyed driving it and didn't really want to sell it. I just rarely drove it. When I did drive it it was mostly to take it out since it'd been sitting for weeks. I had fun every single time I took it out.

I sold it about 6 months ago and don't really regret it at all. I think I got lucky selling it when I did and I got close to my asking price for it.
