Hey Rocket, from my personal experience it has always been more worthwhile selling privately than trading in. I have gotten at least $4k to $8k more selling privately with the purchaser receiving similar savings. Yes there are disadvantages (eg less convenience) but worthwhile if patient. Rocket your price is great, should advertise on carsales "R36 owned by the famous Rocket....". Hope u keep in touch with us when u go Europe. Site may get a tad boring if u don't lol. BTW the C63 is an awesome car but I bet that u will appreciate how good the R36 was when u get one! (eg hate the C class dash and GPS).
MY10 Passat CC V6 - RNS510, GPS, RVC, self park, dynaudio, cooling seats!
Bye? WTF? The car is gone. I am not!(and the internet is global)
Oh to be able to afford to be "very last year". I think I could stand the embarrassment of not being all that up to date if the guys from City Performance find this thing too "last year" and want to hide their shame in my garage.

You know you are getting old when you cancel your order for a 3.6 CC and buy an Icelandic Gray TDI CC instead.
pre post script: this kinda turned into a vw passat vs merc c comparision
leagle i wont disagree the c class dash is underdone- but i also reckon the passat dash could be way better. (really ****ty glove box plastics for example). Now ive had my c320cdi for a year i was talking to the salesman and i told him the passat GPS is so much better with the touchscreen. then he asked was i using the lingatronic voice control? well i had not so spent the last week actually getting to know & use it. guess what? it actually works very well so now i would rate the vw and merc gps on a par- each has slight advantages.
Pro Merc:
linguatronics integrates all nav and telephone functions ( address book can be shared-cool)
Dash layout with speed in center is superior ( IMHO)
RWD handling
Pro VW
Value, Value, Value & features.
touch screen Nav
outrageously good economy ( tdi)
Conclusion? the merc is better but you do pay for the priveledge and its probably not worth the extra.
Note: the latest C class 220CDi is a 2.15 twin turbo and has the same power and torq figures as vw 125tdi but wider spread of power and torq. i have the 3l v6 turbo diesel.
