The car was supposedly in mint condition and they had the car for less than 10 days. I was flying in from Dallas to look at it, and likely would have bought it. But of course they could have figured I was just another tire kicker and sold to the first guy that offered them money. Don't know.

My experience with RBM of Atlanta was good. They knew I knew the product and no salesman speech was used. My deal went through mainly via emails since I do not live in Georgia. When we agreed on a sale price I put a deposit on the car and scheduled my trip there a week later. I actually drove since I had my 09 C63 as a trade in.
So I don't know what was your agreement with them on that CLK BS but if you committed to the car I don't know why they would sell it before your arrival
Either way I hope you find a pristine one soon. GL

I had no agreement with them nor had I committed to buy the car. I am not suggesting that RBM did anything wrong whatsoever. My general impression of the dealership in fact is quite favorable. I was relying on what I thought was a soft market and really didn't think the car would sell that quickly and not wanting to commit to any CLK BS until I got the chance to see one in the flesh. Given how long Mancave waited to sell his I think I was right. The difference, in my view, was that the first of the car's two owners got the chance to buy the car back and took it.
After that fell through I test drove a C63 and fell in love with it. So my craving for a CLK is over. I think.

You meant, how "short" he waited to sell his with such prestige condition? It was what, 2~3 weeks? That's pretty fast IMO, considering that buyer most likely initiated contact, put a non-refundable deposit, scheduled to make the travel, inspected the vehicle, negotiated but agreed to asking price anyways because the condition is flawless, and finalized transaction; THEN, he made the post/reply in his own thread informing us the car was sold, that was not long, not at all.
C63 non-BS? well, I guess if your C4S ended your craving for a dry-sump 911 then it probably works for ya in this case too. LOL

And it wasn't 2~3 weeks, but actually 12 days between being listed and the day it was sold... even with just 300 miles apart between the seller and the buyer, that's still a really quick sale!

Yes, the sale of Mancave's BS was lightning fast (or whatever adjective you want to use to mean "near instantaneous"). And yes my C63 is non-BS, non-dry sump, and I should be embarrassed to drive it. Your car is so much better.
I hope helps.

As for dry-sump or not, that's the talk of the Pcar (C4S) that you've got, again, you probably didn't get to drive a Pcar with dry-sump before buying one without it; just like you didn't get to drive a W209BS (which actually is wet-sump btw), to feel the difference, before settling for a regular W204.
Anyways, that car which RBM sold is better off not going to you, that doesn't even understand nor experienced the difference between a BS and a non-BS.
Craving for a BS is over because you now have a regular W204? wow.
You can always "think" you are right, and live a happier life not ever experience what could've been so much better; and of course, without any commitment.
Good luck.

Actually, the difference we wanted to point out wasn't about the past owner had the chance of buying it back or not, it was you didn't put a deposit down because you thought the market is "soft" with the W209BS, that, is the difference on why the other member was able to get his and you didn't even have that chance to test-drive one, the one that you could've bought, instead of a regular W204.

If I so wanted to buy the car I would have bought it--this one or one just like it. I don't think finding a low mileage clk63 bs is difficult to find at all, considering at least 3 low mileage cars have been offered in the last month and the one that started this thread, at $65k, is still for sale. They come up quite regularly. Cars with over 30k can sit for a (very) long time.
As for dry-sump or not, well if we are talking racing that is one thing, but if we are talking about commuting in a large city (I am) I have to tell you, a dry sump really doesn't come in to play here. And if you think you have a race car, I can tell you that a 4000 lb car with an auto transmission leaves a lot to be desired on the track.
So the 2014 C63, wet sump and all, with all of the dynamic capability of yours in the city and anywhere else I am likely to use it, with seven years newer improved technology (and still under warranty) makes for a pretty fine driving machine and I am happy (delighted actually). And while you apparently know better than me what makes me happy, I think I am right, and I think that is all that matters.

I have been on this forum for a while, but never posted. I now have the itch to buy a CLK BS. 
I am perfectly happy with the color black. Anyone know much about this car? VIN: WDBTJ77H18F237893
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
