Pros/Cons - Considering a 05' CLK55 Coupe w/ 40k miles

Hey Guys,

I have always been a HUGE fan of AMG's... my dream would be the SL55, but hey.. its a bad economy. Looking to trade my 01 M3 Conv for a 05 CLK 55 Coupe with the Quad Exhaust Pipes!!! Took me a while, but finally found 1 in San Jose, CA going for $24k. Just wanted to see if I could get some input from you guys before I make my decision... I got screwed buying my M3 at 43k miles because 7k miles later... I had to fork out $2000 for the 50,000 mile MAJOR SERVICE.. OUCH.

Anyways... any input would be greatly appreciated, THANKS!

Phil

It seems to be too cheap for an '05 CLK.. so you should double check its history.

and scheduled maintenance along cost lil over 1k..

the price is fine with the current economy!!!
people are lossing money left and right
still make sure you take the car to a dealer or shop that you trust and have them check EVERYTHING on the car!
check the condition of the tires and the flex disc to see if there are signs of abuse
