Good Deal?

[Chattonmill]

Have just agreed a price on a 2001 X Reg CLK 320 Avantgarde convertible with 99K on the clock, just wondering what the forum reckons this should go for?
Any Guesses

Can be had for £5000.

I have been looking for a while and not seen one that cheap

VERY brave!! I'm a real coward on this sort of thing - if I've agreed a price on something I want to go hide somewehere for a few months...the LAST thing I want to hear is that I could have got it much cheaper...I'll cheerfully live without the possible affirmation that I got a good deal to avoid the risk of feeling bad that I overpaid . This applies for cars, houses, computers, home improvements, anything major, really.

I've just seen like 10 for that price on Autotrader, with a quick search..

 

[Chattonmill]

The ones I can see on Autotrader are T reg for £5700 or more, where are the £5k ones?

 

[Leemc2008]

Do a search, max 5k, nationwide, CLK with engine 3.0-3.9.. sort by expensive first.. browse through, first 2-3 pages, you'll see 00/01 X reg CLK's with between 80-110k mileage..

There is a very nice dark blue one with cream leather!

 

[Chattonmill]

ahhh I am after the convertible!

 

[Leemc2008]

Actually.. It's black, but this is lovely!!

Its on Autotrader, but the guy has a link to eBay as well.. I dont know how to paste Autotrader links in here, I'm using an iMac at work..

Thank God for that, I suddenly thought that I had gone insane

£5k for a convertible would have been a bargain!

About 10 mins ago I didnt feel very good, but I am starting to recover now

You could go for the £5700 one, but I wouldn't.
Realistically around £7.5k should get you an above average one from a dealer, with warranty.
Trade price for an excellent condition one is £6880 with 100k, but they're going well under book at the moment so you could have yourself a bargain if you bought at auction. Wait another month or two and they'll be even cheaper.

I assume your going X-2001 because of increasing tax costs?

 

[Chattonmill]

That makes me feel even better!

Partly yes, but in reality an extra £200 a year is not that much so I am not worried.
