Hi Chappy,
That is indeed a rare find. I towed home a sister to that car for a fraction of the price.





Im not that fast at turning them around or a schmuck. If you know what I mean.

I always believed in AMG for collectors though and these were very special cars. Rare to see such low miles.

Thanks for sharing, Gator

They all have CAN BUS, I just don't have the Navigation (double DIN). Mine is equipped with the standard AM/FM with cassette and 6-disc changer.

I personally feel the photo was probably a file photo and was a CLK430? Though I really did not notice it until it I saw the comment on the wheels not being mono blocks.

My opinion is that for a car with such low mileage, presented as stock that not having the original wheels seems odd to me. What happened to the factory monoblocks? Just strange, that's all.

The cars that resell for the highest money are generally OEM/stock. This goes for any type of car, make or model. Having judged cars in club shows for over 20 years, those types of things just stand out to me.

So would you think it's a file photo?

If you had to make a guess or a bet $$$, what do u think it sold for?

Not file picture. There were several prior to the listing ended.

Probably sold between $15-$20k
