2008 CLK63 Black Series; 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser; 2015 BMW R1200GSA; 2003 Porsche 996 Turbo (gone)
Looks Like a Great Deal
Update: I ended up not proceeding with the one in Charlotte. Just closed a deal on one in Houston, TX. Car has gone 5275 miles, mint condition, and PPI inspection came back fine. Car price was $65K. The owner was a car collector so the car has never been tracked. Not sure I like the carbon fiber front grille (may swap with the CLK grille I have on my C55) and front splitter. The car's springs were also set to the “low ride height level”. I am going to fly up there this Friday. Is there anything special I should look at when inspecting the vehicle? Thanks.

MBWorld Fanatic!
If that's the Renntech front splitter, it's actually a really nice $2500 piece that is functional and has underneath ducting that is supposed to flow to the brakes. Congrats on the purchase!

Maverick1975, will do. Checking out the pictures from their website, I noted that the car also has carbon fiber on the side mirrors and steering wheel. Based on some of the pictures, the car is so low right now that I'm actually a little hesitant driving it without getting the ride height put back to stock configuration. Is this just a matter of putting the car up on the lift and adjusting the springs back to stock configuration? I was planning on asking them do it once I got there. Thanks.

Ditto, that looks like a great deal given the mileage. I thought about trucking mine from Dallas to Atlanta, but I drove it home instead and smiled almost every mile.
PS - Enjoy those "UPGRADED COMPOSITE BRAKES"

Thanks guys. I had a wonderful time driving it back! Finally took some photos. I ended up swapping the grilles to get the Black back to its original setup. Like it much better! Enjoy!

Also, there is a minor chip in the rear diffuser that was there prior to purchase (see pictures). It is slightly noticeable during the day time. Any recommendations on getting it addressed? Thanks.
