this reads to me like a car that was previously modded and the previous owner parted out or traded for as many stock parts as they could but wasn't able to pull the brakes off before trading it in?

I imported this car myself last summer with the intent to use it as a fun and economical commuter since I have always wanted one, but as it turns out these cars are not meant for people over 6'2" tall. My back can't handle a car this tiny anymore. It's got an aftermarket intake and exhaust, body kit, and a lot of JDM 'rice' as you can see. The engine and drivetrain share components from the tercel/paseo so parts are very cheap to keep it running. Even for the high mileage it runs perfectly like a toyota should.
I have all of the documentation for it, however I have not put it through a provincial inspection yet so it is being sold as-is, where-is, for the price of what I have spent on buying the car and getting it here and through customs thus far. You will be able to put a 1 day permit on it to get it home, though.
This car can also go to the USA legally if you wish. |

2004 CLK55 https://vancouver.craigslist.ca/van/cto/6033611988.html
Question: is this the poor mans entry into the world of handbuilt german v8's? These things sounds incredible with some exhaust work.
Is this a situation of 100k$ car maintenance costs? What is a (not really very) high milage AMG like to live with?

They don't have any fancy suspension gimmicks and the engine is very low tech so there is not much that can go wrong.

^^ i was hoping you'd respond - 7 minutes! must be a AMG bat-signal.
I'm not usually super car impulsive, but I'm really tempted to go take a look at this one.
Any specific shop recommendations for inspections? I have my go-to's for german cars work, but would be down with somebody more specific for this type of detailed look over.
i want this!  | |

i knew someone who has that generation of CLK (i'm not sure it's a 2004). leased it for his wife and they've had it since new. he claims having zero problems, and showed me all his dealer service paperwork to dispel my disbelief. they liked it so much they even bought out the lease when it ended and they still have it afaik...

pretty sure may have the oil leak here and there but heard those old 5.4' 3 valve head/ twin spark motors are pretty well engineered. should be pretty solid cars.
ex has a CLK and seems to be pretty problem free.

Always wondered if CLK's had complicated suspension. Good to know. Does the E Class of this gen Mercedes have air suspension?

If it happens to leak, Arnott struts offer a great warranty and aren't too expensive. Alternately, there are plenty of kits out there to convert to coils. The E55 has a pretty big modding community so its not hard to find remedies for these problems.

Love these, quicker than the 40k equivalent German rival (M3), sound amazing, reliable engine, cheap to repair and cost as much to fill up as my 2.5L Jetta daily.
