Description:
Listing for sale for $88,000.
Car currently sits at just under 65,000 miles, exact mileage will climb weekly as I drive it to work on weekends currently.
Vehicle comes with two keys and its owners manual book set.
I purchased it in June of 2020 with 40k miles, and have treated it much like a daily driver with several multi-thousand mile trips included. I have extensive maintenance records to provide from throughout my ownership. I keep this car to a very high mechanical standard so it is ready for a cross-country road trip at a moments notice. You will not find a better maintained example. This includes frequent oil changes (done by myself) every 4-4,500 miles using OE Mercedes filters and Liquimoly 5w40 synthetic oil. Car has a brand new set of Falken RT660 tires and brand new OEM Brembo pads and rotors all around for the new owner, installed in the last month. Oil will be changed once more by me before the new owner takes the keys.
Please message me for further info on the car as well as a CarFax report. Test drives welcome to seriously interested parties. Located in Valencia, CA.

having both right now instead of one after the other, i get to compare the two side by side; and i can tell, and even show anyone in-person, that the CLK63BS is a better built vehicle than the C63BS, weld-for-weld & bolt-for-bolt, hands down.

Great looking car that should sell quickly even with that "high" mileage.
There are two issues with the M156 engines. They are:
I'm aware there are "head bolts" as well as the "cam bucket" issues with the early production CLK63 AMG BS's. Apparently, the M156 engine, up to the 1st production run up to 61,000 motors, the "female torx" head bolts sometimes blocked holes in the head bolt holes which prevented coolant flows and, consequently, the head bolts over-heated and their heads "popped off" which led to blown head gaskets! An ensuing and very expensive engine catastrophe was very possible! However, the probable risk, according to MB HQ New Jersey, was 1% to 3% for failure. Head bolts, my wholesale cost, are $950±, excluding labor!
As far as the "cam/buckets" go, this is an expensive proposition as the wholesale cost per cam is $775±, excluding labor. In addition, there is variable cam timing and the cam gears with a small pin the cam gear uses, often wear. The cams and buckets, etc., are sold as a kit and the pre-Covid pandemic cost was in the $5 - $6,000 range, excluding labor!
Have your head bolts and cam issues been addressed? A potential buyer would probably want to know that info.
Good luck with the sale..
Merry X'mas to you and yours..
