This 2006 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG Cabriolet shows registration in New York and North Carolina under three owners with 67k miles on the odometer from new. Finished in Iridium Silver Metallic (775) over two-tone Charcoal/Merlot Nappa Leather (257), power is provided by a hand-built 5.4-liter V8 mated with a five-speed automatic transmission driving the rear wheels.

Modifications include an aftermarket infotainment system with a rear view camera, 19" AMG wheels, and a factory quad-exit AMG exhaust. This 2006 CLK55 AMG Cabriolet is now offered for sale by the current owner with a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.
The exterior is finished in Brilliant Silver Metallic (775) and features sculpted AMG front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a body-color trunk spoiler. A quad-exit exhaust and rear valance from a 2005 Coupe has been fitted to the car. Exterior features include a power-folding black fabric soft top with a heated rear window, heated windshield washers, rain-sensing wipers, power door mirrors with an auto-dimming driver side, an electronic trunk closer and Keyless-Go. An accident is shown on the Carfax reported in 2008. Minor rock chips are visible on the front bumper with no signs of body damage present.
Larger 19” AMG triple five-spoke alloy wheels have been fitted to the car and come wrapped in a set of Bridgestone Potenza RE980 AS tires which measure 225/40 front and 255/35 rear showing 2018 date codes. Curb rash is visible on the wheels. AMG sport suspension is fitted as standard along with silver AMG calipers and ventilated discs.
The AMG-design sport seats are trimmed in a two-tone Charcoal/Merlot Nappa Leather (257) with black AMG floor mats and an Alcantara headliner. Aluminum trim lines the center console, dashboard and door panels wearing a sand-cast finish. Both front seats are heated and ventilated with multicontour adjustment for the driver side. Additional interior amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, a power tilt/telescope steering column, a mesh wind deflector, push-button start and a 12-speaker Harman/Kardon Logic7 surround sound system. A Dynavin aftermarket infotainment system with bluetooth and navigation has been fitted to the car along with a rear view camera.
The AMG steering wheel frames a 200-mph speedometer with a central display along with a 7k-rpm tachometer, an analog clock and digital gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature. The digital odometer currently shows 67k miles from new with 12k added by the seller over the past ten years.
This A209 is powered by a hand-built 5.4-Liter M113 V8 which outputs 362 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. Recent maintenance included an A/C recharge with records from an independent Mercedes specialist shop shown on the Carfax report. The seller reports that the car is kept on a battery tender. A slight fuel smell is said to be present when the car is filled up, but only when the car as at a completely full fuel level.
The car was acquired by the seller in 2013 with registration reported in New York and North Carolina under three owners showing linear mileage updates from new. The aforementioned accident is shown in 2008 with no other accidents or damage reports appearing on the Carfax. This 2006 CLK55 AMG Cabriolet is now offered for sale by the current owner in Apex, North Carolina with a clean North Carolina title in the seller’s name.
Videos showing the power top and a driving demonstration have been provided by the seller below.
The second generation CLK55 AMG continues to surprise and delight drivers, both new and tenured, to the AMG brand. These cars combined modern era styling with the bulletproof naturally-aspirated M113 V8, eight years after the engine had already proven its worth in the previous generations of hot rods from Affalterbach. While cars like the W210 E55 AMG and W202 C43 AMG continue to rise in value, the 209 chassis CLK55 AMG has remained an affordable option for those looking to harness old-school mechanical power while enjoying modern styling and handling. However, as these cars continue to age that too will surely change. There aren’t many comparable options in this price range when searching for top down fun behind a large displacement V8. Additionally, this CLK features a much needed Euro AMG quad-exhaust which they should've all had from the factory and displays in a stunning and rare interior color. This AMG cabriolet should make a great driver for anyone wanting a proper AMG without breaking the bank.

Hey everyone....I'm pulling the reserve on the vehicle. I don't have time to mess with this much as I'm heading out of the country in a few weeks for an extended trip so she's gotta go....one way or another, she's going to belong to someone today. Thanks for all your interest!@BlueDevilBill CW Performance said the purge valve after review was functioning correctly. I have not replaced these. Only other issue they said was a slight valve cover gasket leak. I did not replace these as there is no oil under the engine or any major residue. So I'm assuming it's minor.Looks like a lot of issues on the repair summary from 5/15/23. Included rotors, exhaust leak, engine seal oil leak, etc. Have these been addressed? Thanks.@CLKPro Ooooh....OK. Thanks for the education. That sounds about right. If it was manufactured about 5 years ago, I probably bought it within a year after that so that makes sense. There's very little mileage on these as I hardly drive her.@ceschofield The date code is on the sidewall in an oval. I can sort of see it on the picture titled "img_2538" and looks like it might be 4918, which would be the 49th week of 2018, almost exactly 5 years old@Benzman I'm not sure where to find the Date Code but this is what I have on the tires. They are Bridgestone Potenza RE980AS so they are their ultra high performance tires. 255/35R19. They are quiet and grip like super glue. I got them probably about 3-4 years ago but considering I drive the car only 300-600 miles per year over the past 4-5 years they have very little wear. Thus why I'm selling the car, I just don't drive her much anymore. Is this the date code? DOT RB32 R98 4719. Sorry for my ignorance. Trying to help though.@thembmarket Thank you! That's the major services. I went to different places for full synthetic oil changes and changed the tires to these Potenzas that are not from CW Performance but otherwise, the service records show every major repair through the years I've had her.Service records have been added to the gallery.A walkaround video has been added to the listing.date code on the tires please, as well as the brand and model of the tires. thank you.@MannyGee Did a video walkaround for you and any others wanting to see the car to make your own assessment of paint and such. https://youtu.be/0M9Xz60sZ64@Skid44 Did a video walkaround for you and any others wanting to see the car to make your own assessment of paint and such. https://youtu.be/0M9Xz60sZ64$15,000 bid placed by @Benzman
@MannyGee From my understanding as this was before I had the car, it was just a fender bender. Nothing major. No structual damage at all and doors close firmly, car goes fast and hard with no body shakes, it takes turns confidently and aggressively with no wiggle. The color difference is the lighting with the sunsetting and the shadows as it is hitting the car. To the eye no one (myself included) has ever seen a difference though I see the concern in the photo. I'll take a walk around video after Thanksgiving and post it so you can see for yourself and make your own assessment. :) I'll try to get pics of the undercarriage as well but take her out for a spin and push her hard and you'll see there is nothing to be concerned about.This car looks immaculate and well kept. However, In your description it reads that the car was involved in an accident in 2008. Appears to me that the damage may have been at the rear quarter panel and whoever painted the car did not match the color properly. There is a discoloration of the passenger rear quarter panel. My question is does the passenger door close properly? And could you provide pics of the under carriage, particularly under the right rear of the car? Thanks@Anton Thanks for the interest. She's been a beauty of a car. Super fast, sounds amazing and this one I feel is more aggressive looking than others I've seen I think due to the quad exhaust, low profile tires, wing on the rear and the camber is set in just ever so slightly. I get looks and comments on her all the time. The original head unit was starting to fail so I wanted one that had more modern features so this one has GPS, MP3 capability and connects to the rear camera I had installed. Everything works great and she takes corners with no trouble at all. I have 2 key fobs for the car too....1 is the modern chrome style and another is the older black plastic one which is good for a backup (needs batteries). I've loved driving her the most during the fall during leaf season in the mountains. It's absolutely stunning but to have the top down brings a whole new level of beauty and amazement. I'm emotional about letting her go but I'm sure she's going to make someone else very happy moving forward.I bought my current '04 CLK55 AMG convertible from MB Market, but think I need two in my stable! Gorgeous car...love the two-tone interior and upgraded Head unit. Can you tell more about it?$2,500 bid placed by @Anton
@p2p2p2 She is a joy to drive and glorious to hear. :)@Skid44 It's got to be the lighting of the area we photographed in as I have never noticed any discoloration and have fawned over this car since owning it. I'm staring at it right now in the garage and cannot tell any difference. I'll take it out on a day that's not dreary and raining and will take walk around video for everyone to see. Have a great Thanksgiving!Passenger door appears discolored? Any insight?Best engine MB ever built!!
