2012 E63 W212, considering sale

I know,I’ll regret it but… my E63 does not deserve to be sitting in the garage (where it has been since 2021) and as much as I love it the car does not get to exercise very often. We bought a farm with a home built around 1798 in Kentucky and the very long gravel driveway is the first hint that the car needs a new home— I cringe as I navigate the driveway at about 4 MPH.

I am hoping, as is usually the case, that you all can let me know what a fair number if I do indeed sell. So here are some specifics:
040 Black / 201A Black Leather/ anthracite with walnut (some fading to trim pieces as has been discussed many times on MBW).
AMG lighted front door sills
In service date: 07/02/2012 (from VMI, copy would / will be included)
Production date: 03/05/2012 (from VMI)
Records, original “The Sounds of NYC” DVD and sales brochure included.

Almost 130k miles on the clock
Replaced window switches/ covers due to the constant wearing of original
New windshield within last year due to country road rock chip
Needs new tires (I want the potential new owner to put the tires they would like to have given personal preference and brand loyalty) BUT, the original wheel lock nut included
The center console cup holder slide cover no longer works
There is a quarter size area of the rear driver’s side window where the tint film (all windows tinted) was accidentally removed
The car has been very well taken care of and there are no known mechanical issues. Everything on the car works— including the dynamic drivers seat, night vision, rear window shade, etc. The car does have Driver’s Assistance, etc but does NOT have Distronic Cruise Control. No pano roof either.
If a new owner were to take over the care and feeding of this beast, I would recommend (obviously) a total detail. The gravel dust, angry birds, pollen, etc. drive me crazy so it gets a lot of baths but black/black gets dirty very quickly.

I realize my car has higher miles. I purchased it with about 98k miles from an emergency medicine doctor (he did a lot of highway driving) that was going to trade it in on an SL65. I also know that new rubber is not a trivial amount and an excellent detail job is expensive too. So, all that being said, any help with a realistic selling price would be a huge help. I thank the community in advance.


Maybe looking for a new home

I assume anything over $20k easily beats all trade-in offers.

You are correct, As a matter of fact that is one of the main reasons why I am asking you all. Of course the other issue is that there is only one stealership close to me.

So I think a fair number is $18,900.00 for my E63

Thank you for everyone who shared their opinions and knowledge.
