could probably find a better deal IMO, good luck though

High milage with high price. For less money you can find one with less miles! Keep looking. One will come around.

Thanks guys,

I'm in no rush but I'm definitely looking.

Still contemplating wether to go Black, silver or white.... leaning towards black.

are clk 55 kept for long term ownership? because i don't see that many for sale. heck even ebay dont have that many 04/05 coupes left

AMG's as a whole just aren't mass produced like regular MBZ cars are. That's why you see so many used benz's on the market and not so many AMG's. The w209 clk55 seems like a hard used car to come by.

The market price for these cars (as well as everything else) is generally going to be a bit higher. I've been looking for an 04-05 SL55 and have found they can be anywhere from 4-8k more expensive compared to similar specs elsewhere in the country. Good luck!

I saw this listing on autotrader
Link here

It is located in Illinois. does this belong to any owner on here? I'm looking to offer around $23k for private party. is that fair? can someone also run a carfax if they have an unlimited account?

My attitude is this; since the resale and trade-in prices have taken such a hit, why not just keep it and enjoy it.

FYI, I ran an autocheck on the '05 located in Daly City a while back and that car has reported frame damage. I'm also looking for a clk55.

i am thinking about selling mine. 2003 with 34,000 miles on the clock. custom forged 19" wheels, KW V1 suspension, exhaust, etc. you can do search if you want to see some pics. Anyway if you are interested pm me an offer.

i love the car but have been infatuated with porsche forever. i am seriously considering taking the plunge.
