I've seen this car in person and it absolutely holds up to the photos and video. Good luck to all here- killer car.

June 16th, 2023 at 12:38pm ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) Seller 1Paint meter readings have been uploaded to the end of the gallery. Plus the two Michelins I have hanging up that come with the car. With the last day of the auction coming to a close, I will be answering additional questions anyone has and will have my phone nearby if anyone wanted to have a chat. Thanks everyone and good luck!June 16th, 2023 at 12:25pm EST$19,250 bid placed by @LAEthylJune 15th, 2023 at 12:03pm ESTEnginesEugenio (2) 0Having owned a CLK320, CLK430, and a CLK55 Cabrio, this example of the w208 CLK55 is just about as close to a museum piece as you can get. The smell is correct, interior materials feel as they should, and the car drives super healthy. Bid with confidence on this car and good luck to everyone today!

Very much a sleeper car with the performance they punch. They look like a CLK430 but with the full on monoblocks as the only exterior aesthetic differentiator. And the badge, or course. @Gullideckel Let's see how long you can hold the top bid before someone comes in and stirs the pot again. I'm rooting for you! I'm going to get The MB Market to upload paint meter readings today. Keep an eye out for my comment when I confirm they're uploaded.

The only thing NLA that I’ve encountered are the air bladders in the Contour Seats. These share a ton of parts with the W202 and W210, all readily available. Front brake rotors run about $300 each and is one of the more expensive consumables for the car (already done on this) and can be ordered to your front door in three minutes. June 14th, 2023 at 7:33am ESTHerbie (4) 0Don't forget, that the car is in mint condition now and to keep it this way, you have to be willing to invest in upkeep with an open wallet. Any AMG parts of this area are not off the shelf. Some are NLA. Storage in an airconditioned space is also a must. At least in my opinion. HerbertJune 14th, 2023 at 6:38am ESTdean_Laumbach (151) 1I have said this before, and will say it again until its no longer true. The V8 C208/A208 is the ultimate "sleeper" car and the best value in today's Mercedes-Benz market. Love this car !!! DeanJune 13th, 2023 at 10:01pm ESTStuttgart_Steel (492) Seller 0It’s good to see @herbie enter the battle! Had a good chat with you this morning. Thanks for reaching out. Again for anyone who missed it, PM me if you want to chat over the phone to feel me and the car out better. More than happy to just have a friendly conversation about the CLK or just Mercedes and cars in general.

I took paint meter readings last night, so I'll get with the guys to have them uploaded. It read 4.0 mils on every surface of the car. I will also add a reload of ceramic to the car tonight in preparation for the sale to it's ready to go for the next owner. June 13th, 2023 at 9:32am EST$14,000 bid placed by @LAEth
