I must depart from my ML. I advertised it last week. It has 70k miles, fully loaded with navigation. very clean, never hit, all work done by dealer. I have a VMI. (No running boards)
Price is $19.5K
Do you think its fairly advertised?

 

[pointman]

no. it is way overpriced. but good luck with it.

 

[aydadc]

What do you think is fair?

 

[ttaleric]

i would not take anything less then 17 for it. 17.5 / 18.

have same car w/ 35k miles. dealer offered me $17k on a trade in over the summer.

..had the same ML with only 27K miles in it fully loaded with step bar and rear wing...trade in value was only 18K...traded it with a 4.4 X5

I would have advertised it for 21k. If you go to a lot, the Ml's are still selling around 22k on upwards[8)] Dont sacrifice your asking price. Unfortunately the dealer black book did not like the Ml's because of all of its problems. Edmunds was a little more liberal with their pricing.

I think your price is just about right, got this from Kelly's Blue Book:

2000 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class ML320 Sport Utility 4D

Engine: V6 3.2 Liter
Trans: Automatic
Drive: 4 Wheel Drive
Mileage: 71,000

Retail Value: $23,040

The Kelley Blue Book Suggested Retail Value is representative of dealers' asking prices and is the starting point for negotiation between a consumer and a dealer.

Hope this helps, and good luck

A dealer offered me 14.5 to trade for a clk 320 (99). I could not sleep at night knowing that I would lose over $10k on it in over one year period. So I think I will probably negotiate to about $18.5 since I recently lost my job and won't be able to afford the payments! Such is life.[]
