I have also added nearly 4 thousand miles. And my asking price was higher, but what I want for it was and still is the same.

Also, I am the cheapest W208 AMG/Low Mileage coupe on the market, even at the original asking price. Prove me wrong.

There is nothing but tire kickers and dreamers on this site. Then there is the select few(I.E. Emoving) who want everything for a firesale, and if it is not a firesale it is overpriced. All real leads so far have been generated through autotrader. I have been getting people from coast to coast calling on it. Biggest problem is logistics.
It took me 7 months to sell my Z06. And 8 months to sell my 99 SHO(38k original miles), who everone said is overpriced. Everything will sell in due time. This car is a great commuter, so I do not mind keeping for awhile longer.
I noticed it is months later as well, you still have no AMG? Look up two paragraphs, first sentance

So what you are saying is you are a liar?![slap](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/slap.gif)

What I have learned is people are more inclined to buy if they talk you down. So you always put your asking price higher than what you want, so you have haggle room. You may get lucky and get someone to pay what you are asking( has happened several times). That is fact. You create the illusion of them being a good bargainer. It helps. Just this is a niche car, in the worst economy since 1929.

I never posted on your car or the price you tool! If you remember correctly I made you an offer that was actually more then your now lowered price
. Check my sale threads, I sell for good reasonable prices and mine have sold within a week. If this site is so horrible and full of tirekickers why do you advertise your car here. You waste peoples time selling an overpriced car that by your own words You may get lucky and get someone to pay what you are asking( has happened several times). But this is a forum not a flea market so expect other members to help out, if you are selling an overpriced vehicle which yours has been members should chime in to help other members out. I could have sold my 03 E55 for alot more especially with the wheels, but I made a member a great deal. Just because your GF is selling his CLK55 for an overpriced amount as well dosnt mean you need to ie. me in your posts. Like I said, you quote me in your response to hellsangel but I never posted anything about the price of your car and again I tried to buy it when you first posted it. So you asked for this post.

And in regards to other CLK55, it has extremely low miles. It is worth what he is asking to someone who specifically is looking for that car. I would pay a premium for low mileage, in fact I have numerous times.

Like I said, you invited me into this particular thread by bashing me in a response to Hellsangel that I had noting to do with. If you want to be the forum police then pick on someone that is doing things wrong not me. I have sold many cars here for better then exellent deals. You buddy with the CLK55 has it priced now just a few thousand more then I first commented on. So looks like I was right. Like I said, I never commented on your car and the only reason I did not buy it was I picke up my 03 E55 for yes...a fire sale. But guess what, I sold it for a fire sale as well especially since I added DPE wheels, star lowering, new tires and a full service incl. tranny flush all at a dealer. So quote and pick on someone else like retardedmonk who buys car a auction for $15800 and then marks them up 5 grand and tries to serioulsy rip off another member. Talk to anyone here that has bought a car from me including the guys a Eurocharged and they will tell you I am very fair in my car pricing and have never ripped anyone off. I actually most of the time give them straight to my MB Finance connection and they get the car wholsale. Now that is a hookup!

All I am saying is that if there asking price is high, that most likely will not be what they are looking to get for it. You never would put your bottom line as your asking price. I am sure you are well aware.
The same goes for my car, it is a steal. I just performed service B, put on a LET dyno tune, twin K&N's, installed new tires and had it professionally buffed. Over 2k worth of items. Plus I am selling the car cheaper than what I paid for it. I do this as a passion for cars, not a profession.
Obviously my car is priced fairly, otherwise you would not have been interested in it.

As I never insinuated that your car was overpriced. You decided to throw me into a quote on your posting. Truth be told I think your car is priced pretty good since the chance of finding another 01 CLK55 with those miles will be next to impossible. I like that car and agree it is priced pretty fairly. You friends CLK55 was way overpriced which has been proven in his attempt to reduce it several times since the opening post.

But I am sure the same applies to finding a 26000 miles 03 CLK55. He also lowered the price because he removed the mods. Though he is not my friend, I never even knew of him before that thread.
And thank you for the compliments on the car. I hope she finds a home soon, my friend just let me know is getting ready to sell his 30,000 mile 993 C2, and would like to pick it up.

I just thought you were jumping on Hell's bandwagon. Just a misunderstanding.

I just sold my 99 E55 at firesale price, so we could get my wife an SUV. If I can convince her to get a Toyota instead of a Lexus, I will make an offer for your CLK.

I agree with Hells in alot of his posts, and I am not really sure he was even bashing your car. There was a car similar to yours that went through auction at $12000 and some change, plus fees ($450), plus shipping ($300), plus any refurb. So you are almost at wholsale auction pricing. It is actually a pretty good deal as it sits now. As for the 03, he is overpriced and anyone looking at his will soon realize they can get a W211 E55 and there is no comparison there. Hey, at least all this banter has kept your car at the top! ![Wootrock](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wootrock.gif)
![Wootrock](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/wootrock.gif)
What was the mileage on the auction car?
This car will be a good car to whom ever buys it.
I agree on the 211 E55 completely. If he sells it, so be it. IMO I do not think his price is way out of line. But then again, I love CLK's.
Very true, bumps to the top are always good.
