F/S: 2005 CLK55, Low Mileage, Exc Condition

Hi everyone,

Well, I finally got the car of my dreams, but now an unforeseen situation has arisen that requires I sell it.
(Ha ha, for the comedic factor, I'll say now that the situation involves neither a pregnancy nor jail time!)

I bought it LAST MONTH from a high-end dealer: it was inspected both there and locally, only has 29,xxx miles, has the remainder of the MB warranty, new tires, new brake pads & front roters, NAV, the works...I have 25+ pics for your viewing pleasure.

I've got it listed on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...2509%26fvi%3D1

(I'm retarded with the links: it's item #190233733833 in case it doesn't work.)

Please check it out if you're in the market: please call or email me with any questions, more pics, etc.

Just an update, if anyone has looked at the ad:

-The title has been sent to my bank and the car is now registered in CA.

-The reserve price is $35,000 (anyone think this is either too high / low?)

-Car just had new front/rear pads and new front roters installed by an MB
dealer.

At this point I'm ready to sell it at just what is owed on the loan: I'll eat $6k in investment, but that's how it goes sometimes.

Feel free to comment with advice or questions.

Thanks!

Jen

Thanks! I love this car, but selling it is the "responsible" thing to do (being a grown-up sucks!)

I've got a C230, but the lease will be up soon and I've been eye-balling the E class: not too big, not too small...just right.

Bump: The car is still for sale. I'm letting it go for loan value only: $32,600. The KBB is $38k, I just spent $3k in brakes, and it has new tires. I need to move this ASAP, which is why the price is so low.

I have 20+ pictures, documentation, and am available for test-drives, PPIs, etc.

Thanks,
Jen

nice car and bump, but FYI if you dont disclose the reserve price you will lose a lot of bidders.
most people including myself will not bid blindly into a car without knowing the reserve. its a waste of time to not know if a deal is possible if the seller holds out on a price.

just an FYI.

Thanks: I posted the price in the W209 thread ($32,600.)

I'm putting it back on eBay this week: maybe I'll just do away with a reserve and start it at my lowest price...
