If you buy a car based on what it’s potential resale value is you need to ride the bus. I’ve had my SL500 for almost 8 years and I know I’ll sell it for less than market value because of the rebuilt title. However, I bought it below market for just that reason. It’s cost me no more that any other car I’ve owned, and I’ve gotten over 70k miles out of it, so I’ve come out well ahead.
When the day comes to sell it, I’ll offer it below market and be happy with whatever I get. If I was worried about future value when I bought it I would never have considered it, but for the most part I don’t buy cars for investment potential, I buy them for transportation. -D > On Aug 10, 2020, at 4:18 PM, Andrew Strasfogel <astrasfo...@gmail.com> wrote: > > But how do you resell it? > > On Mon, Aug 10, 2020 at 4:16 PM Dan Penoff via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com <mailto:mercedes@okiebenz.com>> wrote: > If it really bothers you have it washed through Vermont or one of the online > title washing services.
