That is a nice car. What car are you replacing it with?

[alterego]

A 997 TT most likely.

DJ X is in the house! Yeah, IM getting old. Thats why I quit racing cars and started racing BMX bikes. Trying to stay some what healthy and young.
But I think the BMX is more dangerous.

Here In SoCal @ MB dealer, 08 C63 only 2K miles (P2, MM & Navi, bluetooth, ipod...) for 52K (with CPO). You have to be realistic when pricing your car, under $50K (may be acttract someone). Good luck with your sale.

No offense but KBB or any other book is at best a rough estimate of value. I thought about buying a C63 a month or so ago and found 2 brand new well equipped cars (67,XXX MSRP) that could be bought for $55k (or maybe less; I didn't make an offer). So a used one is probably a 50k or slightly better car at best. That said, one never knows when a buyer may come along willing to pay more because they don't "shop" the market much. GLWS.

Those are some great deals! Wish I found them when I was buying.

[Slow 996 TT]

Ok first $50,000 can have it I am about to trade it into dealer.

[C55Vegas]

I always hate to see great cars go back to the dealer on trade...then we all get screwed. A member did not get a well cared for car, and someone else gets hit for the crazy markup.

But I have a buddie that got an new 09 "out the door" for $55. Now I do not know his options, but....

[drscho]

I am in the market for an '08 but will hold my breath until prices fall into the low to mid 40's. Good luck with the sale/trade-in. Here is one depreciation scale I found for a 2009.

2009 Mercedes-Benz C-Class Costs of Ownership
YEAR 1 $13,483
YEAR 2 $5,964
YEAR 3 $5,216
YEAR 4 $5,683
YEAR 5 $5,395
5 YR TOTAL Depreciation $35,741

Note to self. Never buy a new Benz again. Dealer gets the car tomorrow.

[drscho]

Out of curiosity, what are they offering you for a trade?

If youre not owning it 5+ years, lease it or buy it 12months+ after release. The depreciation is just deadly. I feel bad for the guys who bought the 08's for $67k and now cant scratch $49k for them 12 months later.

That depreciation schedule above is VERY conservative by the way...much more in reality.

Sorry dood.

[C55Vegas]

take a look at 06 S65s. Begining of 09 you could get one for high $50s-low $60s, now in the low-mid $50s....with under 40k miles. They were $170+k new!

That is, what a 70% loss in value in 3 years and 40,000 miles? HOLLY COW

No doubt man.

Rule #1 of AMG's, never ever buy unless you want to keep the car for 5 years. For every 10k in price above $75k, add another year. Over 100k in my opinion youre literally burning money no matter how long you plan on keeping the car. Do a damn 60 month lease if you have to on that S65, better than taking a $140k hit. OUCH.

$49,000... At first I thought that was low. But now after all this new info it looks like thats not to bad.

The rule goes for top tiered AMGs except they lose value alot faster (Black Series and 65s).

Is that $49,000 because they think you are putting it against another new Benz?

Bad ass car BTW...I'd just keep it and enjoy if you can.
