Hey guys, new here and could use a little help.
I sell Repossessed Autos for a Credit Union in St. Louis, Missouri. I have come upon a vehicle that has pretty much been the bane of my existence for almost 2 years now. The state is finally relenting to my demands and it appears I will finally get a title, but the vehicle is kind of an oddity. Allow me to explain.
The car is a 1995 CL 500, straight from Germany. It was brought into the United States in NYC, and was titled (with the German VIN) in Philadelphia, PA. Of course, the VIN doesn't compute to American standards, and so it was next to impossible to get a repossessed title. The dealership sold it to our Credit Union member on a title guarantee, but failed to produce the title (one would think we would have had some recourse, but I digress). State governments, having somewhat of a monopoly on this sort of thing, don't exactly set the world on fire with customer service, they lost our file a few times, and a different operator will give you a different answer every time, you get the idea. Rather that drone on, I'll get to my question:
According to the customs documents, it IS a 1995 CL 500. However, the CL 500 doesn't appear in the N.A.D.A. values until 1998. So, how much is this actually worth? It's only got 40,000 miles on it, and is in immaculate condition, save missing the factory radio (which will be replaced before it goes up for sale, part of the hazard of storing a vehicle on an auction lot for 2 years). Fully loaded, black leather, sunroof, AMG rims, German controls and indicators (whats a schwausteg?).
Anyone care to venture a guess?
Thanks in advance!
