So I'm getting ready to sell my car, but I'm really not sure of it's value. I know I can look up the kelly blue book value, but I'm really more interested on what the general public think it is worth, because there are factors to take into consideration (what's been done, what needs to be done, ect). Here is the description.
1985 Mercedes 190 E, 3.5
87K miles
Leather interior, decent shape
Decent paint, minor issues (scratches, warping..the car is older than I am!)
Sun roof
New tires
Original floor mats
Runs well, has been kept up on
All in all, the car is in good condition, just has minor flaws because of it's age. What do you think? And no I am not trying to cop a free ad here :)

Hmm, well this is crappy...every site I've found so far to value a car stops at 1987.

the kelley blue book is an excellent indicator of how much a person will pay for your car. they have been doing it for years. i have used their suggested prices many many times and never had a problem. you could always put the price a little higher then what they recommend and see what happens. you can always lower the price later, or in negotiations with a potential buyer, so it's never that bad to start out a little high.

Well Im not a Mecedes fan myself but If I needed a car and I had a chance to buy one like that, as most of the general public wouldprobably do, I would go to Kelly Blue book and see what they say then I would drop it down taking in concideration what needed to be fixed on it. I dont know what that price is but I generally know what it cost to fix certain things. So what was wrong with it, would be deducted from the price I would recieve from KBB. I hope this helps...

Best guess is about $2000 or so. While it appears to have been kept in good shape, bear in mind it is a 20 yr old car. Mercedes are pretty expensive to work on, and parts will be rare and expensive. While it is tempting, I would get a newer Toyota or Honda. Parts are plentiful, and they rarely break down.
