14 E63 Wagon - Fair Value?
Hello Everyone - been awhile since I posted. My 15 GL450 lease is coming due and I'm starting to get the itch an E63 wagon.
My local MB dealer has one that came in a few weeks ago. It's a CPO car in dark blue, black rims and two tone leather. No rear seat entertainment (thankfully) and just about everything else. Car has 30,000 miles. 1 owner car and always serviced at MB Manhattan.
They are asking $80K for the car. Any thoughts on the asking price? At first glance it seems high for a 3 yr old wagon with 30K miles. From what I've read on the boards seems like some similar cars have sole in the $70K range (take this with a grain of salt).
Any insight/thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

A reasonable price is probably 75k with a "good" price being 70k.
What it's worth to you may differ dramatically haha. That CPO could be very very important if you put a lot of miles on a car and if this is your home dealership, not paying 1200 bucks to ship a unicorny car across the country is valuable.
80k is probably too high for someone to just jump on it without consideration but it's not SO out of the ballpark you know? If they came down to 75k I think that it would move relatively quickly just due to lack of supply.
You have to decide how much 5k is worth for you because you will kick yourself if your lease expires and you can't find another wagon easily. my 2 cents

The Wagons have been holding their value very well and are worth more than the sedans. I was about to buy a 2015 with 8K miles on it a while back for 83K until the dealer started playing a lot of games with me and I backed out, so I'd say if you can get the car for 77 grand your doing well, i doubt the dealer is gonna come down much than that. Does the car have Distronic? If not I'd say 74 grand would be a good figure as the cars with the Distronic are a lot more marketable.

Agree with the others that the wagons seem to be holding their value quite well. Sounds like this one is loaded...does it include the CCBs and B&O system? Those are pricier options that can add quite a bit onto the more common driver assist options. Good luck in your negotiations!

That's a BEAUTIFUL car you're looking at OP. The exterior/interior reminds of a Sonic atacama P2 volvo station wagon. g'luck w/ the negotiations. My last 2 interaction with mb manhattan has not gone well though, but I'm sure it's cause I'm not local.

I think it's a reasonable price, especially if you want the unique color combo which is less common. A couple grand off and you'd be doing very well. Just make sure to have a look at the CPO report and spring for a PPI in the area.

thanks for the feedback. Another 2015 E63 Wagon with 19K miles and nicely optioned just showed up at Volvo Manhattan. They have it listed at $79,900.
I think the $80K is a bit high, especially with 2018s about to hit and give the fact that a 2012, obviously not the same exact car, between 45-55K.
Anyway, when I went to negotiate they would only take off $500.00.
. I offered $75K and would have signed. No go. I just let it be. He kept telling me they "own it for more than $80" and couldnt go lower. Will be interesting to see how long it takes to sell. I might be completely wrong here.
I think the service department at MB Manhattan is great. The sales team could use some improvement. I was able to lease my current GL with an MB control number discount from a friend at corporate, so I didnt need to negotiate.
I have until December/Jan to decide. Thanks for the info...will keep you posted.

A Morristown PA car has 9K less miles and is priced cheaper, so they can go EAD. Like I said, Manhattan MB has been known for being 1 of the least maleable dealership in the country for at least a decade now.
