Five years at 6% would be $869.98.

Give me numbers and I will give you the payment.

You would have to go 8 years at 6% to get under your number. Very foolish IMO.

Considering if it was 0% interest your payments would be $750/month for 5 years, its not gonna happen. What do you need $45k for a auto loan for? You wanna buy my CLK55?

Its got about $40k in mods so I would hope so. Its worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it. I was talking to my friend last night and he said $45k was cheap and is considering picking it up. How much do you think its worth? In a month or two it will have a fully built transmission and torque converter ($7k+). There were no cut corners with this car and thats why its the quickest/fastest clk55, that I now drive daily, and win shows with

The problem with spending 45K on that car is, you san buy an E55 for that price. Then spend a couple grand and have a car just as fast, if not faster.

Yea, I know. But I'd spank a maserati all day long and still get the girls I dont even like Maserati's. Its all about personal preference. I'm not selling it for $65k anyway

AMGEEZY- true, but I think the W208 looks better than the W211 and it definitely handles better the way I have it setup. Not to mention the $$$ thats gone into the cosmetics and rarity

Hersh- I'm putting it up for sale for 1 month. If it doesnt sell for what I want then I'm keeping it and taking it where no man has gone before lol. I won the Orange Ball car show (Best Euro) and 2nd place at the OC Car Show. Its a well balanced car, not really a pure show car. I dont have any ICE in it so its nearly impossible to win!
