Let me get this straight. They offered you $30k for a 2002 coupe with aftermarket mods? Are the planets misaligned?

Not that I am knocking YOUR car, but dealers just don't do that.

I must be confused.

Take the deal and enjoy the CLK. I'd love to have bought one of the last CLK's - although I like the visibility out of the new ones, I really like the darth vader/angry look of the old one. Black with black interior, tinted = mean! LOVE IT.

if you sell it for $30k, do you lose money? if not, SELL IT.

Not to be a vulture here... but are you selling any of the mods seperately? If so I might be interested in the H&R springs. How is the ride quality with them?
