Smile Would anyone be interested in a CLK 55 cab for MSRP?...

The car is Silver/BLack and only has 1600 miles on it and has every option (nav system, etc...)in it, including the factory wire kit for the cell.

IF anyone is interested in buying please e-mail me ASAP. If you are remotely considering purchasing this car it is critical that you e-mail me as soon as humanly possible.
Thanks for your time guys.

Why in the world would anyone want to pay MSRP for a CLK55 Cab with 1600 miles? No one is paying over MSRP, and many dealers are now discounting or throwing in perks.
The CLK55 wave crested about this time last year and is long since gone.
The economy sped it on its way out as well.

unfortunately, i think the answer to your question is "no".

nobody's getting over-MSRP anymore for much of anything these days.

never mind used cars.

good luck.

remember, just assume that cars are ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS bad investments. expect to lose money and you won't be disappointed.

I just got an '03 SL 500 LE and decided not to keep the CLK 55 cab for a 4 seat convertible. Considering a CL
I figured someone on this forum might be interested before I try to get rid of it in the paper.

Doody, how do you like your 996TT?

Talking "how do you like your 996TT?"

let's just say it beats walking

it's a great car. easily one of the finest pieces of automotive engineering on the planet.

put 7K miles on it in the first year and it's as good as it ever was. great car.

doody!

Doody,
Those ate two really ridiculous cars you've got. I especially love the spider with the challenge grill. What the hell do you have any interest in a mercedes forum?

bjl - thanks! as for why i'm here, i've been an SL fan all my life. i've been watching the R230 evolution now for a few years. i'm on my local dealer's list for an SL55, although i think i'm looking at a late 2003 - early 2004 slot.


doody.

After driving AMG S-Class cars for the past 20 years (and Audi S8 lately), tried the Bentley now.
Very refreshing change of pace, car itself with it's lack of huge tv screens, instead equipped with proper push, pull, turn switches and instruments, not being asked whether I would take someone to the airport and totally different attitude in service.......
