Ohio: FS 2001 CLK55 AMG

I'm selling my Benz. It is a 2001 CLK55 AMG. This is an amazing car! Runs and drives perfect, looks great! I was very impressed at the performance level of this car all while keeping it very comfortable. 75k miles, drive anywhere. Asking $15k OBO. By the way before everybody crucifies me......yes I happen to be a dealer. I am a wholesale dealer and I get Mercedes as personal drivers, not to flip and make money....I love them.

Just ran a Carfax an you have only owned it a month or so. Did you buy it to drive or did you just buy it to sell. MMR is only $10,000, are you willing to sell close to that?

well, I don't know what to tell you sir. I bought this car to drive and I got it at the end of June. I have had this car at auction already and it brought $13500. I didn't take it.

I'm sure you would take it for $10k LOL. Still available.

According to MMR, you should have jumped all over that!

I have seen a few of these cars go through auctions and bring in the 10k area.....but:

a - they were rusty rat box cars

and b - you are quoting wholesale auction pricing. The public pays RETAIL, not wholesale.

Also if you were in the business you would be able to go to auctions and see all kinds of idiots bidding cars WAY over MMR values and blackbook. Again, these are only tools.

Besides, I am asking $15k OR BEST OFFER, 10k not being a reasonable offer. I have been looking through these classifieds sections on this site for a while now, and it seems that you have an opinion on the value of every car in here. If you aren't interested in buying, why don't you just butt out of peoples ads instead of trying to dazzle everybody with your amazing depth of knowledge on used car values.
