Buying a 2003 CLK500?

There are only five used CLK's for sale in the entire province, and after using xe.com and comparing it to blue book in the United States, I think I finally found a good "Sticker" deal, which means I can negotiate it down to a pretty good deal from the dealer! Silver on Charcoal, Nav System, Xenons, Rear Sunshade, Sunroof, Heated Seats, Bose Stereo System, etc. They're asking $65,000 CAD which is $50,000 USD at today's rate. It's a 2003 CLK500 with 10,000 miles (16,000 kilometers) and KBB lists it at $54,000 USD. What do you think? Is the 2003 CLK as problematic as the 2003 E-Class? I would have three years left on the basic warranty and then a one year extention for starmark for a total four-year warranty which I can pay to extend to seven.

Mine's been a peach

4,000 miles...hard miles...zero problems. Plenty of power, handling is acceptable, does everything well and is a very nice daily driver.

I just bought a used 03 CLK500. Its Capri blue on bage interior. Its beautiful... The options that i recieved are the lighting option (bi-x), Navi, Bose speaker system, heated seats, rear shade, sunroof, handsfree phone, parktronic. I only paid 46,000 USD. I purchased the car for only 46k. I got a good deal but you can definately find a great deal. 50,000 USD is a bit on the high side.

How much, where are you, and why are you selling? It might be worth it for me to convert it to Canada after buying it from you...

Coral springs, Florida. $50k, and I'm selling it because i'm getting a cl 500 and also because it has been in out of the shop just like alot of other clk's here, little stuff like alarm was setting itself off, which has been fixed and has not gone off in a couple of weeks, and other little b.s. like my center console wouldn't close right.
