I picked up a 2002 clk55 AMG cabriolet as part of a deal. Don't know much about the car has books but no records other than dealer servicing during its first few years. Seems to run well but has a few issues, such as; automatic climate control does not work but can be operated manually; seat belts won't reel in; very slight idle surge, I can feel it but does not cause tach needle to waiver; one time the windshield wiper went on by itself; radio volume sometime fluctuates. Has 77k miles on it and it looks good in and out. I have about $4k in it and I am having a problem putting a value on it. My understanding is mechanically they are bullet proof but electrical gremlins are a killer. It is such a good driver that my plan is to drive it for a while then sell it. Is the price of this car expected to increase over time or not?

If you like it keep it. That's a great price. The car has auto wipers that sometimes get tricked but dust. Also the idle could easily be motor mounts.

Any hint on troubleshooting the climate control, I can adjust the temp and fan speed manually. Nothing happens when I press the auto switches, light does not come on.

Google is your friend. There is diagnostics you can run n the car through the AC system.

Hmm, let's see here...

$4,000 for a 346hp / 376 torque convertible with leather, special suspension and the trans from the V-12. Goes from 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. You think it will triple in price in 10 years? I do, but you have to have the patience. You cannot even get a comparable old Mustang for that price. I had a 2002 Mustang GT and it was 210hp and felt like it.
