What to look for in a used CLK55?
Hello, i'm a newbie here but I've been reading the board for a while now and I have finally decided to get rid of my car and hop into a clk55. I'm driving to LA this weekend to look at a 2003 clk55 with 17k miles. Is there anything I should look out for or ask about? What kind of discount should I expect with such a high milage car? I need to get my info together now because I know that when I see the car and drive it, I'm gonna want to just keep driving it straight home. 
Thanks in advance for any information.
On a side note, if you know of anybody looking for a barely used 2001 Boxster S it would make my transition to MB a lot easier.

Wow, that's a pretty good deal. I might have to shop around some more then. They are asking 4k more and has fewer options and more miles. I would rather buy from the dealership, but this is the only car I have seen with the color combination I want. At least I'll get to drive it and see if it's what I really want or not though.
By the way, Amil, I notice you from the BMW board.
my sn over there is racer986s.
