FS: 2004 C320 Sport Sedan with uber rare 6 speed manual, Wichita, KS $10,000

I've never seen a C-class with this combo, and can't find any others for sale. There's plenty of 230 coupes with the stick, and quite a few sedans, but not with the very durable M112 V6.

2004 C320
6 Speed Manual Transmission
Sport package
Leather
Sunroof
6 disc changer
Rear Sunshade
100,500

1 Owner life long Texas car with clean vehicle history and no evidence of prior paint. It was traded in at a Carmax dealer. Like almost all modern Mercedes nowadays I have no paper service records, but the car seems to have been very well kept up.

I've put 500 miles on this car personally and its performed flawlessly. Averaged a tad over 30MPG on the highway. 2 PPIs performed. One Pre-purchase and one with my tech and no apparent issues.

Excellent cosmetic condition with only a few minor dings and surface scratches. Flawless interior. Ice cold AC.

KBB and NADA at $14,000. I always give a firm bottom dollar to peachparts members. This one I would sell for $10,000. Comes with 60 day temporary tag and I'm happy to pick up buyers from the local airport or assist in shipping.

KBB is $10,075.00 with 100,500 miles , not $14,000 like you have stated . NADA is even less than that . If you want to be fair to peachparts members , represent your cars correctly . Thanks .

You really ought to research whom you are shooting your mouth off about...
Tyler's reputation is beyond reproach in these here parts.

Yup, the Hyundai salesman must have hit the wrong button and shot off without double checking their work. Sounds like he's pricing a C320 sport coupe (which is also very rare) rather than a sedan. Price guides are simply guides anyway. The only times I get full book are from people who are financing and only care what their payment is. Occasionally someone shows up expecting Edmunds TMV and expect less than what dealers pay at auction based on that guide.

For the record this is the second time bens62_220 has posted in my thread with incorrect book prices. He said my 2006 E320 CDI with 166k booked for $12500 when it really was around $16000 at the time. Don't know if he just has it out for me, or people buying newer benzes rather than new Hyundais. Love the Genesis, by the way.

What I go from is what these cars sell for at the dealer auction and what banks base their loan values on (generally NADA). NADA retail is $14000. Blackbook auction averages say at a dealer auction it averages $9125.

FYI 30+ MBs sold now, many, many of which to forum members. Haven't pissed one off yet that I know of.

I don't know how Tyler could better represent his cars, there's always a detailed description & plenty of pics!
Your never left guessing as to the price, location or what the car looks like.

It's another excellent find & I wish him the best!

No need for name calling , I believe Tyler sells some very good vehicles and it's nothing personal . The Kelly Blue Book value of the car being sold with six speed transmission is the value I previously stated . If you don't believe me go to the site on your computer and check for yourself . I simply communicated that because I believe Tyler to be an honest man as evidenced by the quality of car he sells . Whoever said I was shooting my mouth off should research what I said before making such an ignorant statement . Everyone makes mistakes and none of this is personal . I believe in being honest and forth rite . What do you stand for ?( that question was for the person making the "shooting the mouth off accusation . Go to the Kelly Blue Book app that everyone can download for free :put in "2004 C 320 , 6 speed transmission , where it says mileage enter 100500 , where it asks for condition put EXCELLENT and then tell me what you get? For the one who said I was "shooting my mouth off " Have you a big old cup of shut up! Lol J/k . I am a professional and a gentleman . I would never attack anyone's character and certainly not in a public forum . I'm simply clarified a mistake made . Sorry you took it personal .

I'm wondering if you are selecting the correct options at KBB.com.

When I select C320 sports sedan, enter the mileage, my zip code (the value changes by zip code), and select dealer price (not private party), I get $14,375.00.

It seems he is using the mobile app and its not inputting the right information, but he's being stubborn.

I wonder how many people it will take to tell him he's wrong? If he's like most people in the car business, far too many.

Its a C320, not a C230... Big difference. Also, its a sedan and not a coupe.

We truly appreciate your efforts to "clarify", which was a bit of craw-fishing if you ask me. Just try to get it right, eh.......

It varies by region, I'm also hitting the sports package option which may be in error since its sort of doubling up. C320 sport sport.

62 220 and I exchanged a number of heated PMs and he eventually waffled, though I doubt there will be a public pronouncement.

Damage has most certainly been done here. I guess I should just delete the posts? Most likely I'll sell it off the street for more anyway. No big deal.

At the risk of asking an actual car question - what's it like to drive? Is it something of a closet M3, or perhaps not that relentlessly a sports car? I have always liked the 203 chassis. It's rare enough to find one with the 3.2 motor, let alone the 6 speed.

I think it's important to note that a manual transmission is typically a major minus on a luxury sedan, and that is reflected in the KBB price.

However, for an enthusiast, who is not your average middle-aged woman shopping for cheap 4-door used cars, it's potentially a major plus. This car is truly a case of "it's worth what someone will pay for it."
