WTB: CLK BS

I am looking for a BS, my parameters are as follows:

<5K miles
Not red, preference is for white
1 owner
2+ years left on factory warranty
Within 1000 miles of Phoenix, AZ (I will fly in to pick the car up and drive back)

I'm looking to spend right between $78-80K. I know some will think my budget is too low, but if I can't find a BS that meets my requirements I won't buy one. I've looked in all the usual places already too.

Ive been in the market as well...

It is hard to find white within those parameters. But I believe this is a good example :

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/SUPER...item2ea91d32e0

Maybe touch base with seller on price and see where they stand. Than go with a very reputable PPI company and maybe also run the records at Benz dealer i Cali for more info. Either way good luck.

Good luck, pretty tight criteria. Hope you have to wait a while....

At face value that looks good, but be careful BGA, there may be a reason why it's been for sale for at least 129 days.
Bargaining power?

Exactly. If it was such a great deal someone would have snapped it up already. Besides, I'm really looking for a one owner car.

Interesting that the odometer reading is virtually the same as it was when it was offered for sale on AutoTrader back in mid-August with 6,768 miles. They were asking just under $90K for it back then.

I understand being careful, but, does anyone KNOW if anything is wrong with the car or are we just talking out of our ****?

Surely, painting the wheels black doesn't help.

A lot of people seem to like that look, but it's not for me either.

Good luck, I think your requirments may be met sometime next year so by all means keep the faith. BS prices are beginning to stablize and there will be fewer cars for sale over time as more of them become collectors. Lets face it, the modern day muscle car era will soon we over as more manufacturers go "green" and smaller. We're headed back to the mid-70's, God bless the Gremlin, the Pinto, the Vega et al, they were such wonderful cars! JMHO

I don't think until recently that the price was docked so low on the car I provided a link to. I know of several cars, where dealers picked up at decent prices only to find themselves having a hard time selling it, nothing to do with the cars itself from my research.

For this particular example I have no knowledge about the history, but if your looking for white preferably, I think its worth looking further into and it can help you only, I feel.

I agree as well. I heard there is a powerseller on ebay willing to let an OEM set go for around $2k?

i dont think you will find a desperate seller for that price, but you did come to the right place to announce you are a buyer in case one is lurking
