Likely cost to change from my Mercedes E-Class?

Hi,

I have a 172 Mercedes E220 d AMG-Line  with 185,000km on the clock and a full non-dealer service history. Car has been very well maintained. What would one expect to pay for a 2022 Avantgarde model with 50,000km on the clock as a  trade-in?

Hi Ray,

We'd assume the asking price of the newer model will be in excess of €50,000 and that yours might sell for in the region of €24,000 on a dealer forecourt. Obviously, a dealer will never offer you that value, and this is where it's very difficult to predict a cost to change, as any dealer on any given day could make a different offer. It depends on how badly they want the sale, for example, and how much they're willing to have your car.

I'd estimate cost-to-change offers in the region of €29,000.

If you do go through with this, please send us a message in private so we can use that information to advise other readers in the future.
