need to price my SL500

armic777 · 09-17-2009, 04:56 PM

What do you guys think is a good price for a 2005 SL 500 with 28k miles, non-amg version with silver color and charcoal inside. no door dings. perfect condition, no leather cracks, AMG tail lights, genuine brabus monoblock wheels, 65% thread left on all PS2 tires?

I am planning to sell it, still thinking how much shall I price it for.

Could you guys provide me the price for a quick, normal and hard sale?

help is appreciated.

In this market plan on getting killed...id try auto trader or carmax to compare what buyers may pay out there...why are you selling it...sounds like a fantastic car w/ low miles?

what are you getting into next?

Good Luck Armic777,
I agree with Sunir on the market. It's tough selling a high line car in todays world. Most banks don't want to lend $40-50K to an individual. As a dealer you stand a much better chance because of their relationships with the banks. Now looking at what it's worth,if you take a look at the dealers, you're looking at anywhere from a low of $42.5K to a high of $47.9K again, these are asking prices and do not say what they actually sold for.

Take a look at Edmunds and the story is even sadder, average trade in including your low miles is $33K with an average asking price for a private party individual of $37-38K.

I was just on Autotrader the other day and there was a private party with 28k miles and he was asking $41.9K

Depending on what you paid for you car will determine if you think that's a good deal or not.

Best of luck to you

your looking at (even with 28K miles) on a '05 non sport...around mid 30's and that's on a good day...these cars no joke man can be had for mid to upper 20's if someone looks hard enough...

it's a crazy bad market man...keep your ride, strap on a Kleeman supercharger...and never look back bro!!!

I paid $31k for my 2005 w/ 45k miles last Spring. AMG, fantastic shape, all records. In service date was Nov. 05, so factory warranty still remained.

armic777 · 09-18-2009, 11:04 AM

wow, thanks for all of your answers.

I will go to carmax i guess, I sold my bimmer there for surprisingly good price

I was thinking about selling my brabus rims and amg tail lights separate. I think people will be interested, right guys?

I get tired of cars really quick, I tend to get a new every year, which is not very practical but especially good for MD to get 6% from me every time

p.s i purchased the coolest extended fidelity warranty

ah ok...cool. SUV may be good for some of these roads lots of construction these days...are you sticking with mb, or going w/ bmw...the x5 and x6 M editions are supposed to be fantastic!

Without looking at the responses, my initial guess was $35k to a private party.
