i need advice...

hello
im a newbie both here and in the wonderfull world of MB motorcoaching.lol
very important question. ive found this 2002 CLK 430 w 29000 miles, looks pretty clean, no warranty, and ive come to settle with "bobs" dealership at $26000 out the door. its gona cost me another 4500 to get 4 yr/100k miles warranty from MB . the dealer is going to detail it, wax it, change brakes and oil, and do wheel aligment before i drive it off the lot. i will take it to MB for a pre-buy inspection and make sure everything is tip top shape. is this a good deal? and is there anythig else i should do if i decide to go for this car? thanx

2002 CLK55 AMG, 2005 C240 4maitc
I bought a 2002 CLK55 AMG Coupe with 54,000 on it for 29,000. After taxes and purchasing a warantee to cover an additional 100,000 miles on top of the 54,000 it came to around 34,000. (if that helps any)
She's black on black with all the bells and whistles and she drives like a dream. She is my daily driver and I plan to drop a Kleeman big-block v8 engine in it once my current AMG engine hits 200,000. I have plannes on never getting rid of it because im intensely modifing it and have put alot of $$$$$ into it and it's my first car. Not to mention i would like to ,god willing, collect cars (euro's have always been my fav) and possibly even open a high-end "Auto Couture" Proformance shop.
