Another slk valuation thread.

[The Boss]

Hi

what would the valuation be on my car as is.

i appreciate this is a totally different car to my w124, so please be mature in your responses lol as im looking at realistic current market prices opposed to optimistic...

mine is a 1 owner from new slk200 1998 R reg with 105,000 miles on clock with every single UK option on it at the time except the amg kit.

green black metallic in perfect condition, no dings, and interior is 2 tone black/gray and has been maintained regardless and is now also in as new condition after being tidied up recently.

wheels have no scuffs as i have these treated periodically, and has full Mercedes and specialist service history.

thanks

Do what I did to get a sale price for my car.....look at Parkers price online (you may need to pay to get accurate price), look at Glass's price online (you will need to pay for this) and then look at what the asking prices are on autotrader.....then take a realistic look at what you think is a reasonable price.....Parkers seem to be a bit over optimistic while Glass's either on the button or slightly pessimistic.

You could also get a trade in value from a dealer (pretend to be buying a car) and then add a couple of grand to this figure to get a reasonable value for the car.

A bit of research will get you there....

Had a look and I would retail that car at £5995.

Privately I would aim for £4995 as on a car like an SLK, it has to be a big saving to persuade a buyer to buy privately without warranty etc.

 

[Adam230K]

i would've thought 4-5k too.

 

[Mr Jadefox]

Gotta be at least £25k ??
