Hello, new to the forum but long time lurker. Not sure if this post is allowed here but feel free to move it necessary. I recently missed out on a 05 CLK55 with 109k miles for about 10k locally so I'm back on the hunt. I want all the options except navigation, and ideally the brush aluminum trim over the wood grain. I'm located in the Bay Area btw. This will be my weekend car since I already own a commuter. IF anyone have a lead hmu.

Thanks a bunch!

The 2005 coupes are hard to find, they only imported 247 in 2005. It took me a year to find the right car and I flew to Dallas from Seattle to get it.Good luck...

I have one that I daily that I could part ways with for the right price. I'm on the east coast though and about 120k miles currently. It has the silver trim but I had a shop wrap in CF vinyl. It can easily be removed.

wish you were closer. not sure how much it is to transport but i’m guessing close to 1k

Sounds about right if I were to guess. Good luck in your search, it is hard to find the 05s. The bigger brakes, quad exhaust, and updated interior are worth the wait! I also have an 03 CLK55 and spent nearly $4k just to get the brakes put on 🙈

This is not an 05 but a nice low mileage car. Rare color also.

It started around $8k and was reposted at $7450.

I have an 05 with 139k in great condition. It's an extra car that I don't need. Again a long ways from you. I think you could ship for $750 just based on when I was looking.

what type of maintenance records do you have? i’m not a fan of high mileage sports car unless it’s maintained well with records.

hokiebay

I have receipts for most of the work. The car was serviced at a local independent shop that specializes in MBs. I have had the car since 2011. If you want to see my records I can email them to you. One warning, this car eats rear tires. I get about 10k miles on the rear.

high mileage is 250k.
