1997 S420 DONATED
Client gives me a slip from a charity that sold his donated 1997 S420 for $1,450. He bought it Dealer used Starmark in 2001 with 45,500 miles on the odo. H/W are both 90 yrs old & downsizing to one car.
Question: did he get jobbed by the quick flip by the charity? Seems kinda low to me, but what do I know. I'm sure he took care of it. Maybe it was the color...brown. |

I don't think so. My impression is that charities don't investigate market value that much, just put them up for auction and see what happens.

Average resale on that car is $8k. Charity auctions usually run low, so it's possible that's what it sold for.

I'm sure it sold for $1,450. It was a reputable charity. Quick turnover: Donated June 15, sold June 23.

Might have to keep an eye on their auctions...
