I have a ton of high-end stuff for sale in classifieds for a 2001 CLK55

I am selling off my parts for my car. I have a ton of money invested, as many. The car is complete, but it does not make sense to try and sell it.

The lease is up on my car in 2 months and I decided not to keep it. I am going to get a S55 or CL600.

The supercharger setup is beutiful. 12.62.

Take a look at the classified forum for all the goodies for sale.

After you sell all the parts off the car, are you going to sell the CLK yourself or just turn it in? What is the residual?

I am going to turn the car in. I am pretty much an idiot for doing this.

I should have known the value of the actual car would be so low.

I could not stomach laying out $5000.00 more than a street value car to buy it.

Right now I would pay just over $47,500.

what if they find out that you modded the car?

Will they ding you on lease return fees?

I have always wanted to mod my leased cars but I was afraid of doing so. If I could I would lease for sure.

Didn't they note during service etc. that you have engine mods? How does that work on a leased car?

Thanks.

It has only been modified for about 300 miles. The car has been pretty much off the road since September.

I would never bring a modified car back to the dealer. They gave me grief because I had different rims on the car!

The dealer that is taking it back knows me and the quality of the work done and does not have a problem taking it back.

Now I am more concerned over getting my CLK55 back to stock and selling the parts.

I just looked at the Audi S4, Infiniti G35, and a new 545i Sport.

I'm not in a rush, so I think I might wait until 2005.

Ah, but the G35 everyday leaves the door open for an 04 E55 next year....

This is an everyday car. I have 2 cars going back on lease within 3 months of each other and I do not want another truck.

The G35 is really nice and it is AWD.

I live in crappy weather for 4 months out of the year. My CLK could not come out all winter.

The 545i is still RWD and I had an old 540 that sucked in the snow.
