Seriously, you could sell it for more than $4000 even with the bad tranny. You have to be 100% that the tranny needs to be rebuilt before going another step. In your case, I'd get two opinions - one from my MB mechanic and one from an unrelated, but very good, tranny shop. You may find the tranny needs something other than a rebuild - besides, it's just slipping right now; it's not locked and unusable.

Once you're 100% on the tranny rebuild, then you can still get $8000 rather easily with the slipping tranny. DON'T TRADE IT IN - THE DEALER IS SCREWING YOU. I can't say it any more plainly than that.
