Hello all, been lurking for some time while I was waiting for my Suburban to sell - this past Saturday it did, and I just purchased this silver/grey 2004 CLK 55 at 87,000 miles and three owners.

I had a PPI done by the local MB dealership, and the only issues are some seepage from the oil filter housing (from my research looks like about a 20 minutes and $10 fix) and a torn CV boot (shaft is fine, so just have to replace the boot). Better photos to follow, I'm flying up to Kansas City to pick it up next week.

I owned a 2007 BMW M6 before receiving orders to Korea a few years ago so had to sell it, and I knew I wanted another performance convertible. What I didn't want was the constant fear of VANOS issues/SMG exploding. After doing tons of research on the M113 I'm pretty excited about this car, and am also planning on snagging a CLS 55 sometime in the near future as a daily driver.

Look forward to being part of the community!

wow that's awesome my friend was just looking at this car the other day and was too far from him (he's in Boston), hope the car is good, since it was priced very well

Thanks! I'm down in OKC so KC is only about a 5 hour drive for me. Priced very well, and with only 3 owners (each having it for about four years) and the clean PPI I'm pretty confident.

Looks like a really nice and well equipped ‘04! Congrats! I really like the lighter gray interior - I think pretty rare. Enjoy!
