Really liked this car ever since it was first released
Hadn't been following the market of late, but even by today's inflated 'standards' - the asking prices for these are insane at the moment
$495k for this one - Black - 50,000km

$450k for this one - Silver - 19,000km

yes rediculous
I negotiated on one and got it to 145k and I only had the budget of 135 so didn't proceed
I also have a soft spot
300kph+ club
The gearboxes and diff let them down didn't they? I liked them up until when they were 4 years old or so, but the competition over took them too quickly for similar money.
I remember when they couldn't shift them for $150k.
Wow that's crazy prices, I wonder how much the DTM ones go for now then? They were the real CLK hero.
Sold mine for $135k with 10,000ks. Guy resold it last year for $210. Now look at them, a real 360C moment for me.
I feel sick, thanks for posting.

This one sold for $146K + fees a couple of weeks ago, a few issues but surely none of them actually get $400K+

IMO they were a far more black BS than the C63.
Rare:
Recaro Pole position seats
CF door trims
CF console
Aluminum billet (small) gear selector and paddle shifters
CF front guards
CF rear diffuser concealing a differential oil cooler
CF splitter inlets
Adjustable coil over suspension
1 piece billet alloys
No rear seats
500 world wide (800 C63s)
Interesting point also was that the boot had a load carrying capacity which was noted on a large sticker on the hinges of 50kg max (IIRC)
And one of my favorite things about the CLK which the C never had, frameless doors and NO B pillars.
List at the time was $340kish
The C63 BS substituted some of the CF bits for black plastic, to me it wasn’t as Black as it could have been.

I put a good mate in the C63 Black we'd picked up the day before for one of the Tassie trips. He had a great time and was terrified in equal measure. Lemme see if I can find any pictures.
I always used to take the old boss' CLK Black for a run every few months to turn it over - loved the sound and as Alpine mentioned, plenty of individual bits to set it apart. Carbon everywhere.
Owns a MB dealership for over 20 years and the CLK Black and SLS are the only one's he has kept/won't sell.
