2003 CLK55 - 26K Miles - Minty

Name: Richard
Location: Los Angeles County
Contact: 310-824-3085 (Call or Text)

Price: $25,000.

+ The car has only 26K miles. That's 3,500 miles per year. It is a Clean Title and clean Car Fax report.
+ The car has been meticulously maintained. All records are available. It drives perfect like the day it drove off the showroom.
+ It has been hand washed and waxed by only me. Paint is 9.9/10. Interior is 9.9/10.
+ Everything is stock and original, no paint works, no modifications to the engine.
+ Only upgrades are H&R springs (handles very well) and CLK63 rep rims (perfect wheels).
+ It has every option except Navigation and Keyless Entry.
+ Never tracked, never raced.


SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY.

Thanks for looking.

If you're not getting hits, you might want to revise your price. Edmunds.com is normally a good estimate tool.

You should also clearly state what options the car has.

I'm not firm on my price. Throw offers at me and we'll talk.

You can rely on Edmund for Toyota and Honda.

You come to an MB forum, advertise one thing (All options except for Navi and Keyless Entry), when it obviously is wrong, no xenon's. You can't do things like that if you want to be taken seriously here. The price doesn't help much either.

ROFL.

Go find me a W209 AMG Coupe with less that 30k miles for 19k.

I'll go buy it.

There isn't even one coupe on autotrader with that mileage.

Emoving, I notice you put your .02 in alot on what other people's cars are worth. For sure a common theme. If you are that concerned about the person selling it, why don't you inform the party through a PM instead of polluting their threads with your opinion?

To the OP. I think your price is fair. Just hold out. Also put your car on autotrader. You will have the lowest mileage CLK55 coupe for sale in the country on there.

Also, I have gotten many hits on my car from there, especially as of late. On this forum all of gotten for the most part are price bashers, trying to expand their beer buck into a glass of wine.

GLWS and nice car.

Uber I appreciate your comment very much. I totally agree with you that MBWorld is full of low ballers. I wanted to see how many hits I'd get including lowballers' comments here on MBWorld haha. I will definitely put it on Autotrader. These lowballings comments is entertaining for me

Good luck with your sales as well

I come to an MB forum? I did not signed up before you but looking at the post counts, I think I've had more inputs for this forum that you have in 4 years. And I bet your only posts are bashing other people's cars.

Besides that, why don't you look at the best site for used car's price, nadaguides.com

Clean Retail with my mileage = $24k
Clean Trade-In with my mileage = 20K

I know my add-ons (rims, springs) does not add any value for the car, however this is a sales, not a give away. You can throw at me offers and we can go from there.

Other sites like Edmund and KBB do not take in consideration that this car is rare to find at this mileage. They are great for cars like Toyotas and Hondas.

One great example is the Acura Integra GS-R. KBB and Edmund have them going for 2-3K but the market price is totally different. A 95 Integra GS-R with clean title and 80K miles go for around 7K.

I believe people who are truly interested in my car with contact me with legitimate questions about the options and I will tell them.

Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your input.

So you advertise what you want, then when someone is interested you disclose to them that you mislead them by out and out lying in the ad?

Just because I don't list all the options the car has, it doesn't mean I'm lying about my car. Besides if you looking at the pictures closely, you can see that my car does not have HID. A smart person would definitely see that.

AND since you're not a serious buyer, please keep your comments to yourself as my thread CLEARLY states SERIOUS BUYERS ONLY!

Well uberwhatever your name is,, when someone asks why their car is not selling and then ask if it is the price,,,,,,sonds to me like he was looking for advice. I gave mine! If you dont like the auction numbers dont ask. That car will never sell for 25k. You can buy E55s for that! Mybe you should read the full thread before you look like a moron and put your 2 cents in.

Thanks for your input, I did not ask for price advice I only asked for support aka "bump". This is not a thread to advertise your car. Unless you are serious about my car, please do not post anything else unrelated to this sales.

You already asked this question a few posts above and I already said no. Are you intellectually challenged?

And you are not a serious buyer, stop wasting my time.

Thanks Andy. These people really need a life.

I posted in error! I appologize. This car would estimated bring $19000 at Manheim. I calculated it wrong this morning. Not enough coffee yet. I would say $23000 for as real quick sale but then again I cant give my car away. I think when you get down to this price point on these kinds of cars there are more wannabes then there are purchasers.

GLWS... If I didn't buy my car earlier this year, I would have probably bought this one. Bought 2005 320 with 32K mi for $19.8.

Looking for a C55 or CLK55
Free bump for a VERY clean CLK55 with VERY low mileage. I'll toss my 2 cents in as a prospective buyer looking for a CLK55 or C55 from the sidelines.

It comes down to the right buyer in the right location at the right time for the right price for a deal to be made.

I'd pay $1K or $2K more than market value for a VERY clean 1-2 owner car from a private party that has been well taken care of. To me the extra cash is worth some piece of mind (although no guarantee) that the car won't need brakes or tires or need some major service in the first 6 months of owning it.

Now I just need to make up my mind on buying a car or not.

Good luck with your sale.

P.S. I can't believe emoving's car hasn't sold yet as it is the right price.
