[daminder]

Hi guys,

need your expert help in valuated my car. Unfortunately, it's time to give it a new home as i'm trying buy one myself and need the cash as a deposit.

It's a 190E 2.0 auto 1998 E reg. Full merc history with only 31,000 mls and full MOT. Cream colour with the usual spoiler and electrical gizzmoes. It 100% original, no alloys or big sound system just plain and simple oh yes with orthopedic front seats - nice...

Please help with your sugestions on how much I should put it up for.

Cheers

Daminder :?: :?:

Just for a very rough comparison, and I mean very rough...

I part-ex'ed my previous car, 1986 C plate, 190E, in white, original car again no alloys or sound systems etc, 122k miles, the only goodie mine had was self-levelling rear suspension and MB detachable towbar, for £1,000. I was told by various sources that if I elected to sell my car privately then approx. £650 is all I could've expected. That was back in Jan 2002.

You could browse the used car mags that give current market values of motors. Or websites like Parkers Guide to see what you can realistically expect for yours. Unfortunately, nice goodies like your orthopaedic seats won't really affect the market value, the only item that will have a major influence will be gearbox type, people still love their autos.
