I was way off on some of these values. Looks like a lot of the valuation services don’t understand what a 350SD is in a W140 chassis. They keep referring to them as “300SD”s. Upon further digging, this car is definitely worth more than $2500. Dan > On Jun 26, 2016, at 5:52 PM, Craig via Merce

KBB is over the top as is NADA, which is pretty typical. Edmunds is more realistic, with a private party being around $2k and retail around $3500. That’s about the market around here. Dan > On Jun 26, 2016, at 3:17 PM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > A quick glance at KBB says it’s w

A quick glance at KBB says it’s worth around $4600 with 150k on the clock and very good condition. I don’t recall what he said the mileage was. Around here it might be a $3500-$4000 car. Maybe. On eBay someone will pay higher prices, but you’ve got to find someone who you can close the deal w

The market for anything W140 is pretty lousy, almost as bad as the R129s. Not sure why, but I don’t see a lot of them around here, and even if it’s a nice one the prices aren’t near what they were a couple of years ago. I think people are afraid of them or just don’t want the older cars. Might
