What should be the approximate resale value of a 2006 C230 (purchase
price $29,000)with 5000 miles at year 5?

Nobody can give you that answer. Used cars' depreciation governs their
values; their actual mileage vs. "normal" mileage for their age (about
11K / year) is an adjustment to the depreciated value - about $.12/mile,
less as the car ages.

If you're lucky and the market is reasonable 50% x $29,000 = $14,500
plus up to $6,000 for very very low mileage - but only for the buyer who
wants a 5 year old car with only 5,000 miles use.

Suggest you drive it or sell it.

Crystal ball says zero.

Look out for that bridge abutment!

I wouldn't buy it.  Not *enough* miles on it.
Generally, cars are for driving.  And I'm no collector.
Maybe Jay Len-o would like it?

Figure (trade-in) value drops to ((.8 x cost) / year).  Resale value
very dependent on history, records and your sales ability.
