Carmax might give you that, what does Black Book say?
I am seeing around $12k as a possibility from the Max.

But would that be 12k in it's existing condition or if I put factory parts back on?

My guess is existing
In reply to Flight Service:
That would actually be pretty outstanding. I would definitely let it go for that amount. Guess I'm taking it by there sometime this wee and seeing for sure.
I'm actually car shopping right now, if Carmax doesn't work out can you PM me the details on the MS3?
Well what did they say?
Haven't taken it by there yet. Been wrapped up in this bathroom renovation. That and I'm waiting for the title to come in still, so I can just let it go if they come in with a decent enough price.
Seems like a good deal so far if the title comes in. Congrats on the MS3.
Well gents it's time to close the books on this episode. I sold the MS3 to Carmax this past weekend for a tidy 10,000 quid. So if we add all the expenses up on this one, it comes out to tidy profit.
Last update we were standing at the total of $6800. I can add a few more expenses to the list.
2 - Used front tires w/mounting/balancing - $150
Then on the MS3 in order to get a decent price from Carmax I ended up purchasing a few odds and ends listed below.
Used OEM Exhaust - $200 Used OEM Airbox - $22 Used OEM wheels/tires - $250
Bringing the total for this whole endeavor up to $7422 Take that from the $10,000 received for the MS and I end with an extra $2578 in the kitty! So not a bad turn around, and I got to learn quite a bit about owning a high end Merc.
I'll be back next time tying to strike it rich playing with cars on Wheeler Dealers.. Tala
In reply to t25torx:
Nice work for such a long and risky turnover, plus 2 cars! Did you sell the modded parts from the MS3 for any additional?
In reply to Javelin:
I forgot, yeah I sold the wheels off the MS3 for $500 and I still need to sell the Cobb strut brace and the short ram intake. So I should be able to net a few more dollars back from that.
Yeah this one was an interesting flip and I'm glad I got out of it on the plus side.
