Default Used car prices

Crazy high at the moment by all accounts. My mate bought a 3 year old C Class from a Merc dealer about 6-7 months back. Last week the dealer called him & offered £1,500 more than he paid to buy it back...& I think he was prepared to haggle. Must be some serious shortages in the market.

I'm tempted to offload the S5 while the market is overheated, then sit on the cash for a while. When I last looked even WBAC were offering £10k for a 10 year old car with 75k miles

Prices are definitely through the roof at the moment and if you are thinking of selling then do it quick! Lack of supply vs high demand is the problem at the moment and so people are able to sell nearly new cars at silly prices. There is a long thread on a Mercedes forum about this very subject

I’d advertise privately - just use it as an indicator of ‘bottom book’ to price it up reasonably fairly
