I would like some info for a friend who wants to buy an 03 cl55

I have a good friend of mine looking at a starmarked 2003 cl55. The dealer originally wanted close to $43,000. He gave the dealership an offer of $38,500 out the door. The salesman declined, but my friend left his contact info and told him to give him a call if thy don't sell it. He expressed he would still be interested. Fast forward one month the same car is listed at $39,500.00. The question I have is do any of you on this forum have access to auction prices of 2003 Cl55's. I would greatly appreciate if you do have access to post up the report. My friend fell in love with the car, but the dealership has a rather arrogant attitude towards potential customers that don't fit their idea of a typical customer. When we go car shopping we dress comfortable and are in our early 30's they tend to act like we are showroom window shoppers.

Mileage, condition, and options would help. As is, it sounds a bit high.

Sorry the mileage I believe is 31,000 miles. My understanding it is fully loaded including keyless go and even a installed radar detector not sure whih model radar detector my friend didn't ask. The condition overall he said was incredible.

IMO, your friend would be nuts to pay a penny over 36 - with a warranty.
If there's no warranty he should walk, unless he's prepared to underwrite 3k per year in repairs.
