Hi all,

So after getting my 4th ticket in 2 months, I'm seriously considering dumping my baby and getting a pseudo old man car (MB E63). If I'm going to have to take it easy, I might as well do it in a more comfortable ride. A consignment shop said I might be able to get $30k for it, but I think that's a stretch at best. What do you think?

2005.5 (B7) with ~70K miles
BBS RGR rims ($1000 each) with a bit of curb rash
Bilstein PSS9 coilovers
Milltek exhaust, resonated
Intake (can't remember brand but it might be Milltek)
Revo chip
20% tints in back, 80% in front (changed since the pic below)
Pioneer AVIC-Z2 head unit, Focal speakers, 2 JBL amps, JBL 8" sub - nice clean install
Super clean inside and out - a few chips in the paint + the usual dings for a 4 yr old car

I think KBB is around $25K but I'm hoping the goodies get me a little more...

 

part it out. you always get more that way.

 

On a car like that I would get some trade estimates towards a benz. If you get $30K from consignment would that means you only see what like half of that?

 

shoot just ease off the pedal. i know its fun but thats what cruise control is for..or get a good traffic lawyer :P

 

aftermarket parts don't matter on trade....new parts either

if blue book is 25 that is about what you will get


nice looking car though

 

LMFAO good advice. If you get a different car what makes you think your going to drive it any slower?

 

trade in you'll get under KBB for sure, if you find the right person who knows the car and the stuff you got done it's worth that I'd say, but thats not gonna be a quick drop to get that much.

 

My 2 bits... I've driven an E350 and I dont know if you've driven an E63 but its more powerful than the E350 and I can assure you you will not realize your doing 90 until its too late. And yes it may not handle as well but its no slouch. At least now you have much more "feel" so to speak.

 

x2 my man

 

There's no taking it easy in an E63.
