This 2005 Mercedes-Benz CLK55 AMG was purchased new from Mercedes-Benz of Dublin, Ohio where it remained registered through 2022 when it was purchased by the second owner and moved to Florida where it’s remained since. The CLK currently shows 87k miles. It’s finished in Diamond Silver Metallic (762) over Black Leather (261) and powered by an AMG-tuned 5.4L M113 paired to a 722.6 5-speed automatic. Factory equipment includes bi-xenon headlamps, front seats with optional heating and multi-contour functions, dual-zone climate control, a glass sunroof, and more. The included Carfax report shows 17 service history records from new and some records are noted to be included in the sale. Recent services include all new PCV hoses, new valve cover gaskets, a new breather valve, a new oil filter housing, and a new oil pressure plug gasket. The seller acquired this example in 2026 prior to the aforementioned services being performed. It’s now offered with factory literature, two keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean FL title.
The exterior is finished in Diamond Silver Metallic (762) which is also known as Tellurium Silver Metallic outside the North American markets. The car is in stock form and features sculpted AMG front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a body-color trunk spoiler. Quad-exit, AMG-stamped tips are finished in chrome. Exterior features include a power glass sunroof, a heated rear window, heated windshield washers, rain-sensing wipers, and power door mirrors with an auto-dimming driver side. The included Carfax report shows no damage or accidents reported since new.
Factory AMG 18” wheels are mounted and measure 18x7.5 up front and 18x8.5 in the rear. The wheels wear Hankook Ventus V12 tires measuring 225/45 and 245/40 respectfully. The tires show 2022 date codes. AMG sport suspension is fitted as standard along with silver AMG calipers and ventilated discs.
The AMG-design sport seats are trimmed in a Black/Charcoal Nappa Leather (261) with black AMG floor mats in velour. Aluminum trim lines the center console, dashboard and door panels wearing a sand-cast finish. Both front seats are heated with multi-contour adjustment for the driver side. Additional interior amenities include dual-zone automatic climate control, a power tilt/telescope steering column, and a 12-speaker Harman/Kardon Logic7 surround sound system with COMAND. The interior shows nicely with little wear noted. Detailed photos are included in the gallery.
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 87k miles from new.
The CLK55 AMG is powered by a hand-built 5.4-Liter M113 V8 which was factory-rated for 362 horsepower and 376 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a five-speed automatic transmission. The included Carfax report shows 17 service history records from new and some records are noted to be included in the sale. Recent services include all new PCV hoses, new valve cover gaskets, a new breather valve, a new oil filter housing, and a new oil pressure plug gasket.
The included Carfax report shows no history of accidents or damage and it shows linear mileage updates since new. The seller acquired this example in 2026 prior to the aforementioned services being performed. It’s now offered with factory literature, two keys, a clean Carfax report, and a clean FL title.
The C209 CLK55 AMG occupies a sweet spot in the modern-classic AMG world, pairing elegant pillarless coupe styling with one of Affalterbach’s great naturally aspirated V8s. Finished in a very rare Diamond Silver Metallic, this 2005 example has the understated look these cars wear so well. Refined enough to feel like a proper Mercedes coupe, but with enough AMG presence to hint at what sits underneath. Power comes from the 5.4-liter M113 V8, an engine that has earned a loyal following for its durability, smooth power delivery, and unmistakably old-school AMG character. In the CLK55, that engine feels especially well matched, giving the car effortless performance without sacrificing the long-distance comfort and usability that define the CLK platform. As AMG continues to move further away from naturally aspirated performance cars, examples like this become increasingly easy to appreciate. For buyers looking for a handsome, usable AMG coupe with classic proportions, real V8 character, and a more restrained personality than later performance models, the CLK55 remains one of the most appealing choices of the era.

I hate to say I don’t think that’s the CD changer making the noise on startup. Also, is there a dent on the hood by the body line closest to the driver headlight?$8,000 bid placed by @Pcbloom

@EggMan34 "The car makes a great daily driver and is fast enough for 95% of drivers." Absolutely... The CLK for date night and the Z06 for playtime!@55NA In July 2019 I paid $10,500 ($14,800 in today's dollars) for mine with BBS wheels, Lorinser roof spoiler and front splitter, burgundy/ black interior and a questionable exhaust resonator delete. It also had a boogered up sound system and some New York ownership. This car was 9.5 out of 10 in presentation and replaced a well bought but cosmetically inferior version of the same year that was totaled by an errant driver. The vehicle presented here is much more original. The current price is extremely low. No I am not a shill, just a huge fan of these vehicles.The CLK55 AMG from 2004 2005 is a very unique and rare car and a great value in todays market. I own one nearly identical to the one being auctioned. Still looks great, solid drive train with naturally aspirated V8, and NO ABC to worry about. The car makes a great daily driver and is fast enough for 95% of drivers. And I love the absent B pillar. I continue to get a lot of compliments from people asking about the car.$7,000 bid placed by @RRaptor

@yaoh genuinely speaking that same thought came across my mind yesterday. i realized if my car sells on wednesday it will be nearly impossible to find another 2005 coupe spec in this special tellurium silver, let alone the original factory paint all around and a clean 2-owner history.Absolutely perfect naturally aspirated V8 AMG coupe! 367hp M113 is V8 perfection. Yes the M113 Kompressor is faster but there is just something special about a pure N.A V8. No forced induction! If didnt have too many cars now, I would definitely bid to win this beauty! Man, congrats to whoever wins this!$6,300 bid placed by @bwaseem
It was on Bring A TrailerI believe you are confusing two entirely different mechanical systems here based on your statement/ question. The rear main seal RMS holds back engine oil at the rear of the engine block it has absolutely nothing to do with transmission fluid. To answer your question you never fill transmission fluid through an engine seal. The transmission is completely separate sealed unit. As I noted in my maintenance break down, the transmission has been meticulously cared for with 3 full transmission fluid and filter services and requires zero top-offs. It operates flawlessly as seen in the video. The rhythmic noise in the video is from the inside/ interior which is the 6 CD player shuffling through which happens all the time when the CD player is energized at start then noise is gone usually the cycle is 30-40 seconds long.Watched the video, noticed a thumping sound after you started it up?How often if ever does the transmission fluid need top up from the RMS leak?To all serious bidders and interested members as promised in my previous comment, I wanted to provide highlights of recent service history for the past 4 years on this CLK55. ~Aug. 2022 4 wheel laser alignment. ~ Sept. 2022 new Mercedes battery. ~Aug. 2023 new accessory belt and pulley. ~December 2023 Mass air and crankshaft position sensor replacement. ~August 2024 the radiator and thermostat replacement. ~March 2026 16 spark plugs replacement. ~July 2026 oil filter housing gaskets replacement, valve cover gaskets replacement, all new vacuum hoses, oil pressure plug gasket were replaced along with new oil filler cap. ~Along the years total of 3 transmission services/ fluid replacement latest in Sept. 2023 at 82k miles. ~Frequent oil change.angryitalian could you share what web site this was sold on?$4,680 bid placed by @Lfuselier
Hello everyone, welcome to the auction of this rare tellurium silver 2005 CLK55 AMG! The reason for the sale is due to work schedule that makes me gone for more than 20 days a month, I simply don’t have the time to drive or enjoy my collection anymore. I bought this car with the intention of keeping it long term which is why I immediately went ahead and proactively handled the typical age-related M113 refresh items which included oil filter housing gaskets replacement, valve cover gaskets replacement, all new vacuum hoses, new pressure plug gasket and new oil filler cap. Additionally, photos have been uploaded revealing how clean/ sludge free the top of the engine is for peace of mind. This car posses plenty of service/ preventive maintenance records than I will post in the comment section tonight. The car has a minor RMS seep which is extremely common and expected on these engines that being said,, it’s a minor seep and can be driven without any issues. Good luck to all bidders!This car was recently purchased through another auction site. Is there any particular reason for the quick resell?@proturner1 you hit the nail on the head! the hand-built 5.4 liter M113 engine is arguably the most reliable and bulletproof AMG engine ever built while also retaining a simple robust design without the need for camshaft adjusters that usually require repairs/replacement.I own a 2003 CLK55 and I love it! Effortless acceleration, firm but very comfortable ride quality, and space for four adults! In my estimation this model is the best specification with bigger brakes and quad exhaust outlets. My spec was the Formula 1 safety car for 2003. With proper maintenance (which is not necessarily expensive) the drivetrain is bulletproof. Something to keep in mind is the rarity of these 209 AMGs. Only 1,517 were brought into the US and this car is one of 247 for model year 2005. Whoever buys this example will not be disappointed.$4,000 bid placed by @RRaptor
