    I'm trying to find out a reasonable price to sell this car for.
    It's an 07 SLK 200 (1.8L) with 108000Km on the clock.
    NCTd until March 2017
    Taxed until April 2017

    Pretty much perfect nick.

    It's my missus car. She bought it as she has no sense (I'm not a car fan) and now we've a baby so a 2 seater convertible isn't a good car for 2 people with a baby.

    Do any merc dealers buy cars outright? I've contacted a couple but haven't gotten any positive responses. I know I'd get less for it if I sold to a dealer. I'd also have less hassle. Less hassle is important.

    Generally what i'll do is get a myvehicle.ie valuation report. Fairly cheap like €5 !! The insurance companies use their service for valuation

    The cheapest 2007 slk on carzone is 11k. Where are you getting that from?

    Op, contact some garages and see would they sell it on a commission basis. M6 motors in galway used to offer that service, I'm sure they still so. Or else stick it in merlin auctions.

    Why would they go the Merlin route if they haven't tried selling it yet? I know the OP said they don't want hassle, but it'll cost them thousands.

    OP, take good pictures on a bright day. Take all angles (front, sides, rear and interior) include as much info about the car as you can in the ad (work done, NCT status, mileage, tires etc). And put an ad on donedeal. I'd say it's not the kind of car you will sell quickly as it is quite niche, but you should find a buyer if you're prepared to wait.
