(More Photos Below)

Approximately 2,800 units of the CLK 55 AMG coupes were produced in 2001 and 2002 (W208 body style), and I am almost positive you will not find an example like this.

2002 Mercedes Benz CLK 55 AMG Coupe

Silver exterior over black bolstered seats with gray inserts (rare)

Birdseye maple wood trim

UNDER 82,000 miles (Driven less than 5,800 per year on average)!

AMG Instrumentation

Xenon high intensity discharge headlights

Windshield wipers with intermittent infrared rain sensor

Front and rear fog lights

Custom performance exhaust: In stock form, the 5.5 liter V8 AMG produces 342 horsepower. I have been informed this car pushes closer to 375 horsepower. While I cannot guarantee the additional horsepower increase, it does indeed feel faster than factory specifications.

The BAS/ESP light is currently illuminated.I installed a new brake light switch, however, it did not solve the fault. I then had the issue diagnosed by a Master Certified Mercedes Tech who stated the fault is being caused by the aftermarket steering wheel. Please note this absolutely has no effect on the car's driveability, performance or reliability. The good news is I am in possession of the correct AMG steering wheel and airbag which will be included in the sale.

Engine: With approximately81,500, the motor probably isn’t even completely broken in. You can feel the power is ready for you, right under your foot when you want it and without hesitation. The 5.5 liter V8 engine sounds superb, pulls smoothly. In a word, I would classify it as simply amazing (and fast).

Transmission: The automatic transmission works very well. Shifting is super smooth and responsive.

Suspension: As you can see from the photos, the car has been slightly lowered from stock height. The result is even better handling (I have driven a stock CLK 55 AMGs), while the ride itself is still quite comfortable. This “55” handles extremely well around the curves and is way superior to stock.

Exterior: The paint and body are in good condition. Since the car is 15 years old, there are a couple of expected minor blemishes here and there, but not very noticabale. You really have to look for them, and are not really apparent unless you’re maybe 5 feet away and you're looking for imperfections. These few things really do not detract from the appearance.

Interior: The seats are in nice overall condition. The black bolsters with gray inserts seem to be fairly rare on these cars (Deluxe Interior Package?) There is some very minor wear on the driver seat, but no rips or tears. The leather is soft and supple (I have conditioned them several times) and are comfortable and supportive. The passenger and rear seats are in very good condition. The headliner and sunroof panel are also in very good condition. There are no cracks on the dash. The wood on the console and the strip under the windshield are also in good overall condition. Overall, the interior is in very nice condition, especially considering her age.

Ventilation & Comfort: The air conditioner blows cold. The heater blows heat. Both the driver and passenger seat warmers are operational on both high and low modes. The headlight washer system is operational as well.

Sound System: The stereo is original, with AM/FM/Weather Band/Cassette (yes, cassette) with a 6 disc CD changer in the trunk. Sound happens to be pretty darn good, even by today’s standards.

Reliability and Notes: As indicated by the sticker on the driver door sill, this car was once offered by Mercedes as a Starmark Certified Pre-owned Vehicle. Additionally, she has been well maintained, and because of this, the car has been very reliable and dependable to date. She really has been a true joy and treated me well. Sadly, I just need more of a back seat for my offspring, hence the reason for the sale.

The 2001-2002 CLK 55 AMG cars are now selling in the $ 10,000 - $ 15,000+ range because with so few made in 2001 and 2002, they are gaining collectible status and word is they may appreciate like the first generation E30 M3. You can get this AMG for considerably less! My loss is your gain.

Shipping: While the financial responsibility of the buyer, I will be happy to assist with the logistics of both the car and bonuses. Pick up location: Boca Raton, Florida, 33487.
