I just checked blue book value (private party resale) on my car, and I was pleasantly surprised...some of you may be too.

2005 300C
12,800 miles
every option except bluetooth and wood trim
excellent condition

$35,280! :arms:

That is awesome...I only paid 34,200, and that was over a year ago. I put about 5K down, and I'm paying 500/mo...sweet.

Though I guess it's a good indicator that our cars are holding their value, I'm sure you don't believe that's it's actual worth considering someone can get one new for less.

Sometimes it amazes me what I find on Kelley Blue book vs. the real world, but like I said, it's still somewhat of an indicator.

Blue book value is important for insurance claims, in case something were to happen. Nobody pays blue book, except for them if your car is totalled.

I do realize that this doesn't mean I will get that amount when I sell...I have sold plenty of cars...but this is a very good indication that our cars are holding their value very well. If I were to sell today, I am confident that I could get at least 33.

Look at DC's residual values on a 300C lease. They(DC) don't seem to have too much confidence in resale values.

Cool. I wonder if the SRT-8's are still going to sell for OVER MSRP?? :dunno:

No, in fact, there's one on here with only 500 miles for $4k off of sticker.

The SRT-8 will hold it's value better than the 300C however, but it's all relative. Since the price of the SRT-8 is $10k more we'll get hit with more depreciation percentage wise.
