2003 CLK 500
What's my CLK500 worth?
I've got a CLK 500, silver w/ charcoal leather, 6500 miles. It's pretty light on options and the MSRP was $55k or so. What price should I expect to get if I sell it? I'm currently in Seattle.
I'm selling it because I switched from an M3 to the CLK 500 after hearing about all the M3 engine woes, but the CLK 500 really isn't a sports car like the M3 was. I miss that feeling and now I'm thinking of getting a used Porsche 911.

2003 CLK 500
I think it just has the K3 package, so the MSRP was right around $56k. Anyway, I've heard the CLK 500 is hard to find right now & that CLK's in general hold their value quite well. I'm just curious if anyone has an opinion on what I should ask for it.

But to answer you question, I ordered a 04 CLK55, it will arrive around October, so either I trade it in or try to sell it while waitting...

See if you can order a different interior trim for 04 55 as the 03 55's aluminum trim is a bit plasticky looking..the wood trim on the 500 is much nicer. I almost bought the 03 55 and spent some time behind the wheel, if you want my driving impression let me know.

I almost forgot about the aluminum interior...I too prefer the wood interior. I dont think it's even an option for you to choose, I guess I am stuck w/ the "plasticky" look or aka "sports" look if that's what MBUSA calls it, but I sure will look into it when the car goes into production.
How was the test drive on the 209 55s? Is it really that much of noticeable difference w/ your 500? AMG engines are quite addictive, I decided not to touch the C32 in my garage before my 55 arrives.
