CLS 55 AMG - value

[Sideways Rich]

Evening All, I will soon be selling my father's CLS 55 AMG (05 plate, 60k miles, Black with black) and wanted to get a feel for what the car is worth, there seems to be quite a wide range of values when you compare private, vs trade vs MB dealer network.

All opinions welcome, just trying to get a feel for which price to put it on at.

Difficult to say without more info. It's possible to spend a whole lot of money on extras when you buy these new, some add real resale value and some make the car easier to sell. Sunroof, keyless go, tv module, comand system, parking sensors can add £15k to the new price. Assuming it is reasonabley specced it's probably worth around the £22k mark.
They make great second hand buys if you can handle the fuel consumption!

Parts are not cheap though, cost me £2k to have the bonnet changed after a bump (though the insurance I must add).

I dread to think the cost of the AMG bumper+grille (& other bumper bits), plus the Xenon lights. Id have to have a wing & bonnet respray then to colour match.
