Queen of the Road: Hi MBS. I’ll give you the prices in regards to 24,000 miles.

For a 2007 Mercedes-Benz S550 with 24,000 miles, prices range from $67,000 (being in above average condition) to $62,000 (being in average condition) and $57,100 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that the numbers above are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale, so their estimated retail prices could range from $62k to $72k.

MuscleCarGuy: Hi Rob. Welcome to AutoBragBlog, where we do all the car price researching for you.

For a 2007 Mercedes C230 with 12,327 miles, prices range from $24,300 (being in above average condition) to $23,000 (being in average condition) and $21,700 (being in below average condition).

Are you buying from a Dealer or Private Party? What is the condition of the car? If the car is in perfect condition, no previous accidents or paint jobs, no scratches and with all maintenance records, the asking price is about right. It never hurts to negotiate a little, try to offer them $25,000 and see what they say. Make sure to check 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. Good luck and keep us posted on how the purchase goes!

Queen of the Road: Hi there. For a 2008 Lexus ES 350 4dr Sedan (3.5L 6cyl 6A),

Although both the prices above are less than what you were originally quoted, AutoBragBlog thinks you can get prices even LOWER. Crash Test and Rollover Ratings for the 2008 Lexus ES350.

For a 2007 Mercedes-Benz Gl 450 with 8,500 miles, prices range from $52,800(being in above average condition) to $50,300 (being in average condition) and $47,700 (being in below average condition). Keep in mind that these numbers are the wholesale prices. A dealership will usually aim to sell it for +12%-14% more than wholesale. So expect dealerships to charge an additional $4-$5k more. $54k is a little high. $48k may be aiming a little too low, but it’s definitely worth a shot. Let me know if you get the car that low.
