I do like Edmunds a lot for ballpark values, but it all depends on condition, mileage, location, and what is out on the general marketplace today. If a dealer bought a car really well, they may hang on to it waiting to get a bigger dollar. Most of the time they just want to flip it over, make a few bucks and move on.

I have access to MMR, and ADESA prices, MMR is a better indicator for higher volume cars, and is not as reliable for S8/S6 due to very few going through wholesale. When they do some of the dealers even at wholesale want way more than what they are worth.

Currently only two are available across North America, both are priced over MMR, one $50 over, the other $4000 over.

If anyone is looking for a W12, there are two available 2009 + 2007.

If anyone needs MMR values / ADESA (More accurate for Canada), send me a message!
