2017 W205 C43 AMG
New member to the W209 CLK55 AMG Family!

Hey all, this weekend I bought an '04 CLK55 AMG. It has 26K miles, and is a MBZ Certified Pre-Owned car. I live in Southern California/Orange County and bought the car from Mercedes-Benz of Reno. I worked on the deal for 2 weeks and did everything via phone and e-mail. In fact, the car was even delivered here on Friday, as Reno is 475 miles from here, and I didn't feel like a road trip.

I must say, the dealership was wonderful and I can recommend several people over there, if any of you need a dealership recommendation. Okay, so here's the details of the car:

2004 CLK55 AMG
Black Opal/Charcoal Interior with AMG Blue Inserts
-Navigation
-Bi-Xenon
-Parktronic
-Keyless go (love this feature!)
-CD Changer
-Heated Seats
-OEM warranty through 3/30/2008 and then the 12-month CPO warranty after that

The car is a blast to drive, much stiffer and solid than my W208 CLK430. I love being under warranty again, too. Thanks to all that helped!

Depends on three factors: Low miles, Certified-Pre-Owned w/ Warranty, and Features/Options Colors.

The high would be $43,000 fully-loaded with Low miles and CPO

The low would be $35,000 High miles (40K and up) and non-CPO (yikes!)

This would be of course for 2004 MY. Hope this helps, Stiggs, my fellow CLK55 Brother!! LOL!!

Congrats! I just bought my '04 clk55 about a month ago with almost exact same specs as yours but with 14k miles on the odometer.
Any mods planned yet? Hoping to see more modded w209s on this board. There are too many damn w208s

You bet. It was a lot of legwork, but everything came together. The 430 was great, a loyal, solid car. The 55 feels like an updated version, with all the bells and whistles

LOL! Von Housen rocks. Nice group of people that hasn't forgot their roots. 17K miles on a Silver '03 is not bad at all!

Thanks, ES. It was a long distance deal, but we got it all done! The darkside is quite powerful indeed. How do you like the new sig?

Congrats!

For your first mod, you should consider Stigg's recent mod. He wanted to lower the car, so he put on Euro springs, and his car now sits higher than mine!
