Queen of the Road: Hi Him22. Welcome to AutoBragBlog! Below is a range of prices for both cars…
For a 2007 Mercedes-Benz R320 with 35,150 miles, wholesale prices range from $28,800 (being in above average condition) to $26,900 (being in average condition) and $24,900 (being in below average condition). A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $27,400 to $31,600. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
For a 2007 Mercedes-Benz R350 with 35,150 miles, wholesale prices range from $26,800 (being in above average condition) to $25,200 (being in average condition) and $23,700 (being in below average condition). A fair range for a dealership sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $26,100 to $29,600. A private seller will usually aim to sell it for 5%-10%.
Check the carfax and do plenty of research on the history of the vehicle. Ask for their maintenance records. You can even bring a mechanic for a brief inspection. Here’s a good article to read before continuing: Car Buying Tips From An Insider. Let me know if you have any further car questions.
Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!
