The rear tires were replaced by the dealer in March 2021 showing 2018 date codes with the fronts showing 2015. The wheels show some signs of curb rash.

The MB Market Insights

On paper, the redesigned CLK (C/A209) for 2003 was much improved over the previous generation. Not only was the cockpit more spacious for both front and rear passengers, Mercedes was also able to increase body rigidity by 40%, lower drag coefficient, reduce lift, add additional safety features, and get to 60mph a hair quicker if you opted for the V8. The updated interior was truly a work of art and finding a true coupe that has a usable rear seat is not easy. The 5.0L M113 V8 was the perfect powerplant for the CLK providing ample passing power while still managing to be efficient and reliable. The AMG Sport package was a must have option as seen on this CLK500. The sculpted AMG body kit and wheels greatly improved the overall appearance. As the CL’s younger pillarless sibling, this CLK proves to be a very strong value buy on the market today. Many examples have accumulated plenty of miles over the years making clean examples difficult to find. This car comes with just one owner showing 35k miles making for an excellent opportunity for a collector to pick up an iconic piece of early 2000’s Mercedes-Benz design.

I agree with the seller's higher reserve. These are excellent vehicles and worth much more $. This clean very low mileage example is amazing. I own a similar model and it has been excellent.

Hi everyone, thanks for your interest in this auction. I’m selling this car on behalf of a friend from high school. It belonged to her parents who returned back to their home country and left the car for her use as she still lives here. This car was bought new fully loaded, and was serviced at the selling dealer regularly its entire life. Service record files can be transferred to the new owner. This 209 is in great shape and will surely make someone very happy for years to come.

Crazy low mileage for one of these. Owner must have had a few cars to drive over the years.
