They have not made any offer yet, but I'm guessing that it will be well below $4,000. As far as a better 201....My current 201:
In dash system: DVD, CD, navigation, USB, iPod, am/fm, Sirius, XM, Bluetooth, Video/RCA
Remote/keyless start
Cold crank RPM/Tach monitor
Turbo fan timer feature
Programmable daily start time
Temperature controlled start for A/C, heater

Alarm system:
GPS tracker/locator
Anti-carjack
Passive arming
Driver calling
Ignition lock
2 way alert
Silent alarm
Front camera w/nightvision
Rear camera w/nightvision
17 inch Mercedes AMG sport rims
Upgraded 4-Piston Mercedes brake calipers
AMG Exhaust tips
400E Sway bar
600-watt MB cooling fan
400E coil springs
SL 500 rear coil springs
W210 front grill upgrade
Car fully repainted (7/2017)
Custom built 5-way, independent LED headlights with projectors and 2500k Nokya H1 fog lights.
All bushings for front, rear, engine, drivetrain replaced within 1 year. All brake hoses replaced within 1 year. Pretty much majority of the maintenance items on my car have been replaced within 1-3 years. Plus all service/maintenance records since 2006. As MB enthusiasts, we know the value of keeping such meticulous records. Car has 440k miles on it. So, in my opinion, will I find a better 201 than what I have? Definitely not. Insurance companies will look at the mileage and age of the vehicle and the condition. I mean, it took me about 3 years just to build the headlights and get them perfected and about 2+ years to figure out the 600-watt fan set up. I think if I had this car stock and sent it to a shop to do the upgrades that I have on it, I would be looking at maybe $15k+
