Thinking of selling

[mercmadjim]

I am thinking about selling my SLK, but I do not know what its worth.
Its a very early one 97 with no air-con.
It's silver 84k FSH, and a private plate, but has a couple of minor issues, front wing has small rust bubble, cracked fog light and some small bubbles on the boot lid (hardly noticible, but i see them every day!!)

So guys whats it worth? and is there a market for them? what with the present economic climate.

Any help/advice greatfully recieved.

Rough guess about £5000, someone I know just bought a 99 SLK 230K black on black £4850.

Thats 2 years newer than mine, and I think a better colour, my trouble is I keep seeing all my cars imperfections...

In the current climate I think £5k is a bit generous.

Without aircon and with the rust bubbles I would have thought £4k.

likewise, i dnt think that year would fetch £5K special in today's economy.

£4K or near about sounds good price

I am thinking the same as you, so I ask myself is there a market for it? should I keep it? I am one of those people who would sell it and then decide after a couple of months to buy another one!!
If I sold it for 4k I would lose 2k, yet if I kept it ?? decisions, decisions.....

Nah.. It's not worth keeping.. I'll look after it for you....

So, no discount for the colour scheme then?

I think I paid more for the pleasure of driving around in that colour scheme

No, yellow ones are faster
