And he bought it! '01 CLK55 AMG for only $3700 in decent shape with a clean title. Stupid wheels, needs a bit of work, but well with the price. He's excited enough that he's planning on keeping instead of flipping it, which is very rare for him. And he's owned some very nice cars.

Even better? I get a finder's fee and lots of cash to make it perfect. While I'm working on it, it will be in my possession to basically use as if it were my own. I totally would have bought it instead of telling him if I'd had the cash available to throw at it. Oh well.

That's a lot of car for $3700. Nice car too, and easy to work on.

You're not kidding. This is why I have no interest in spending 10-20k on a brand new econobox when I can spend much less on things like this that are much better in every way except for Bluetooth and warranty.

Sounds like a pretty good deal... I doubt I could even get a CLK430 for that price around here

Okay I'm done. Great car though and a killer price, luckily he has you helping him out. I wouldn't go into one of these alone.

Lol he's already texting me pictures of new wheels he's finding on craigslist. With a bit less bling.

These are actually pretty solid. More than half of the issues on this one are aesthetic. Nothing major ever really goes wrong with these, it's just that parts and labor can add up quickly if they've been neglected.

Even here this is a crazy price, but the guy was desperate to sell because it was his ex wife's car or something like that. He had it listed around 6k and my friend is a master negotiator. Normally you can't even find a CLK320 for under 4k, and 55's average around 10k.

IIRC they're only 17's, which I think makes them homie g wheels. Without a capital g.
