I am not usre but if the clk 63 convertible is 90k so the coupe would be about 83 I would say it is 20k more than a base clk63 (if there was one) 10k for an 030 package and another 10 in variuos things...call it 104k?
but get this rumor...it has NO BACK SEAT! damn! there is not a chance I could get that past the wife if it does not have a backseat!?

Since the factory replaced the pump i've been really happy with the car.
Runs really well, pulls strong right up to around 260kmh indicated which i do at least once a week on my way home from work. Had two runs recently against two supercharged m3's both around 420whp, from around 140 rolling. in about a km distance i am still in front on the limter. As long as the car is cool enough before a long run it runs strong all the way. I ran a m5 a while back also a roll at about 140, i ran about 4 cars in front at the km mark. really happy with the car.
