Help on CLK430 Pricing please

2001 Silver/Black with Multi cont seats.

Good condition 21k miles.

Is $37,000 to much for this car with 21k miles?

What is your take?

KBB is not even close to be accurate on car values anymore...

I guess you're right but it's still well under the asking price of what I've been seeing. Although I do notice that in Florida the cars sell for a lot less than out here. You may want to check for any known flood damage or signs of it.

01' CLK55

that's a hell of a price. The 99' 430's w/ 40K miles here are still running in the mid 30's.

Thats a good price, but not a miracle by any means. I paid $35,588 for my 2000 CLK with every single option available except multi contour, and it had 27k miles on it.

be careful when buying cars in Texas... lots of flooded vehicles that don't get reported... and are sold as clean vehicles.

I know someone who actually buys flooded cars from Texas with clean titles, cleans the car up a little more, and brings it into Cali to sell... makes big bucks...

Yeah I know, I almost bought a Supra there and I found out before i bought it that it had been flooded. This one I had inspected before I bought it. It seems like a good car except for those little problems I mentioned.
