| Marsden Classic MB Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: Capital City USA Vehicle(s): Mercedes-Benz  | Resale hits home OMG, I just did a trade-in valuation at Edmunds on my 2006 E350 with 8500 miles. Here it is, early 2007. The car listed for $57K and change, and the trade-in is $37K even. This is where MB's quality-control issues are really affecting buyers...and sellers. Once upon a time, MB had the best resale values in the business. Consolation: It's an "Editors Most Wanted" model Edited by Marsden 3/17/2007 4:30 AM | |

| RE: Resale hits home Marsden - 3/17/2007 4:28 AM OMG, I just did a trade-in valuation at Edmunds on my 2006 E350 with 8500 miles. Here it is, early 2007.

Once upon a time, MB had the best resale values in the business. Consolation: It's an "Editors Most Wanted" model The resale value is affected by high lease customers. MB's have a very high percentage of customers who lease in the US. After 2 or 3 years there's a huge flood of used vehicles on the market. | ||
