not being sold by the original owner (Neil D.) from the BS owners group, he sold it through a dealer called "Corsa Motors" in Englewood NJ, whom listed it on Hemmings; the listing you have from autotrader is a dealer known to stock-up on BS inventory called "Brooklyn Auto Sales" (they've recently got a pair of silver non-B26 C63BS w/ aftermarket aeros, iirc, one of the two has just been sold).
either way, clean car, and still has the same mileage to when the original owner sold it.![thumbs](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)

i think it does exist and you'll likely discover it when you least expect it. i'm sure your white clk63 was a complete surprise when ya stumbled across it - incredible example, btw!

What advice would y'all give me? Go get the 6k mile one?
#160
For sure. I know of one 6k mile one that is pristine. Seller wants 230k which is probably world record money. The problem is the same as the clk. I go for it and a super low mile pops up that I have to make a move on and then I have two lol.

No one lives forever, I surely didn't want to wait another 15yrs till an Euro Spec becomes eligible for show/display, so I've paid top dollars for the only one that's state-side legal.
Dom bought his for $187k over a year ago on BaT, but he's not trying to make a dime on you for asking $230k.
lets break it down - enclosed transport to AMMO ($3k+?), paint correction / full detail inside-out upper-to-under & PPF/ceramic coating work done at AMMO ($15k+?), enclosed transport from AMMO to his compound ($3k+?), mandatory delivery service/maintenance for parts & labor by MB ($2k+?), insurance/registration for '23~'24 ($2k+?), storage/caretaking on-site employee payroll ($1k+?), etc... and the math quick arise nearly $215k, with inflation of ~5% between this time period, and it's pretty much right there at his asking price.
If you really got to nickel-and-dime, throw that first CLK63BS w/ 8k miles up on BaT, and throw in some pocket change on top of that, for Dom's C63BS.
Complete the collection already! #YOLO.

The fact is, Dom didn't list the car up for sale voluntarily, DonDraperdfw approached and wanted to take this gem from him; thus, for someone that had no intention to sell, I'd say the number that tossed out seems pretty fair for "an offer that can't be refused".

I don't think there is a way to bring this car to the US. Its less than 25 years old and C63 black series is not on the show and display list.
Is there anything I am missing?

@DonDraperdfw Unlike the EU market, all C-Class coupe variants sold in NA come with a sunroof or panoramic sunroof, meaning none were available with a "slick top." I believe if MB wanted to offer that option in NA, they would have had to re-certify and crash test it all over again.
So sadly for almost all of us in NA, we do not get cars with slick top roof which weigh less and have lowers center of gravity...

Especially on a light color car it changes the look fairly dramatically as all US cars are full black roof with the pano roof, so that pick of the white car looks so different to me after always seeing black roof white cars.
