Thank you and good bye all!! Selling the CLK

Just bought a new after 10 yrs in the clk500...hate to get rid of it considering how reliable it is and how it still looks so sleek after all this time.

Couldn't pass up on a deal for a new porsche 911 C2 cabriolet.

I didn't trade it in because of the terrible trade in price so I just put it up on craigslist for now.

Thank you for all the great advice and making me a clk enthusiast!

Congrats on the new car - and good luck selling the CLK. I've had better luck with Autotrader - Craigslist tends to generate more spam and crank calls than anything.

kept the same color combo...even though the 911 has 400hp and is lighter, the clk definitely felt fast in it's own right.

Craigslist did the trick, but I'm getting strange calls with no one on the other end....how annoying.

Thanks, I drove to work with the top down on the highway like a new covertible owner moron and froze my ears off.

I had a few (more than 5 emails) saying "I'm sorry but I only have $$$$, would you be willing to sell it to me for that amount?"

To which I would respond, "I'm sorry too that you only have $$$$."
