Have a good friend in the market for this car. If you are ready to let it go for closer to market value more so than the "rare" aspect you have a buyer.

There are a handful of 03-04 models around if you want higher milage ones in the market price range.
Although, I cant speak for their mechanical history or if they had an owner keep it well maintained.

Market value
I've owned 3 of them now. Yes the 05 is rare but unfortunately it is what it is. Only a true enthusiast will pay that top dollar.
Best of luck on the sale.

Thank you, I'm somewhat negotiable on price, but I'd honestly rather keep this car at the Market price range if it came to that. It's a hell of a car for the value.

C55 or maybe save up some and buy a CLK63. For the price you calling if you get that or close, you would be short off say another 2k or 3k $$$ to buy a CLK63 here. Had a look yesterday and a lot of them are around R310 000 to R360 000 only 3 of the many I saw were the dual exhaust type ones. Our Rand really sucks right now

That's weird and yet we ask ourselves why we never got cars like the early Skyline R32, R33 and R34 as well as the MK4 Supra, Toyota Celicas and Honda NSX amongst others. I think we have all of the AMG models from the 20th century up to current date and specification models.

The r33 and r34 will not be allowed to be imported into the US for another few years. I love the NSX.

I would say you degraded to krap BMW BUT well done on you. A M coupe is a great car. Still a favourite for me but they hard to find and few to come by around my country nowadays. Last I saw one was actually beginning of the year. They like some endangered species of some sort. Hope you enjoy her man

Thanks, its a respray but I got it for cheap so it's a trade off.
