Unhappy Wait just a second, I mean months!

I gave my local dealer a call two days ago to find out when my mail-order bride from Germany is arriving, errrm, I mean, CLK 55 AMG . Well I was now told it will be ANOTHER 3 months . The wait is killing me! They told me the September 11th incidents are playing a major role in delivery of vehicles and other things from overseas, I guess it's true when they say everyone was in some way affected by those tragedies.

Too bad you are not on the West Coast- There are multiple CLK55's in stock and some fantastic used deals too at alot of dealers. Fletcher Jones of Newport Beach, CA even has a CLK55 Cab on the ground (as of Sunday) but I am sure it had a pretty fat mark-up.

Know of any that are fully loaded with comand, K2a, and all the other options? I'd be willing to pay the markup and shipping to get it to Florida. I am getting a Coupe, not a Cab. I don't like the way the Cab's look with the top up.

Buying a car off of EBay just seems weird to me, heh.

Nope, I don't know... Just looked on EBay, they don't have any CLK 55's except for one Cab, and I don't want a Cab.

Why don't you give them a call and ask them how the process works. Pretty sure they'll give you the low down.

Good idea, but they still don't have any CLK 55 Coupes , only a Cab.

Try calling Penske Motorcars, they ship anywhere and have a great reputation too. Yes this is one of Roger Penske's dealerships and they also own the largest retail dealership in the world, Longo Toyota.
