Seems like it's $20k under market but has a clean title. Rear bumper gaps look a little funny so maybe rear end collision, but that's not enough to justify the price...

It's on HRE's w/ MPSS so it's not even like the car has been skinged on...

Wow that's gorgeous. Maybe he's my uncle who happens to be a Nigerian Prince? I'm sure if I wire him funds I'll be good to go.

There is a recent thread on this car in the CLK63 Black Series Forum Registry on here entitled White BS Ebay History.

The old saying if something seems too good to be true it probably is not true so Caveat Emptor mate.
A quick check on line shows 2008 CLK63 BS, 9300 miles $76K, 37000 miles $60k, 7600 miles $95K (must be on something) 14000 miles $75K.
This one is like 2/3 of the mainstream low mileage cars.
There was a guy a few months back on CL trying to pass a C350 as a C63 by changing some badges etc. The idiot tried to con folks by saying the V6 with a blower was a C63.
I wonder if this is the same dude who bought this damaged and is trying a quick flip.
CL is a deadly place so be careful.

Accident report. No frame damage according to the seller.
Car was on ebay as well.
Buyer has to do due diligence and get a frame report and so on.... GL

I gather one should also consider head bolts as a potential problem once everything else is investigated.

But clean title? Wouldn't frame damage automatically trigger a salvage title?

That's an easy fix though and can be said about all CLK63BS.

Well it's something I could do in my garage in a few days is what I meant as opposed to straightening a frame, etc.
