How Much Should I Pay: 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300

Question From Ismael: How much should I pay: I’m looking to buy a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sport Manual 2WD, less than 30k miles w/ leather interior. Thanks.
Queen of the Road: Welcome to AutoBragBlog, Ismael! I’ll give you a range at 30,000 miles.
For a 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300 Sedan with 30,000 miles, wholesale prices range from $26,700 (being in above average condition) to $25,300 (being in average condition) and $23,800 (being in below average condition).
A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $26,400 to $29,500. 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.
