Well, about once a year I post on here about whether I should get a new car or not!
With the prices of CLK63 at the moment, I quite fancy one, the roof doesn't come off, but I've had the CLK now for 6 years and although it's STILL a fantastic car that does a bit of everything, I am really starting to think it's time for a change. I am quite liking the idea of a CLK63 wagon.
Anyhow, I was thinking of what mine would be worth, do you guys think a private sale around 10k? Does anyone think that is far off? Does anyone have any clue as to what it may be worth in PX to a dealer? Does 7k on a more expensive car sound reasonable expectation for a PX value?
Just a quick check on ebay shows only 1 for sale at the moment, 12k and it's a 2003 model with 93k on the clock.
Mine is a 2005 MY, so later command, larger brakes, designo paint and leather. Bodywork is mint for it's age, always kept it up together and had any marks on the bumper etc done. Leather is in good condition, no tears or rips etc, roof and all electrics work, good brakes, serviced, tyres etc, 106k miles, custom quad exhaust, uprated rollbars and bushes, remapped.
MOT done in December so long MOT too.
Thoughts?
And anyone on here with experience of going from a C55 or CLK55 to a C63? Was it worth it? What were the pro's and cons?
I know if I sell it, I will never get another like it, it's a one off with it's spec and paint combination, but I can't have four cars, and in all honesty, spend enough money on cars as it is.
Cheers.
