Showing results 1 - 24 of 27
27 Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class lots for sale across 23+ Copart locations — model years 1999–2009, avg. mileage 142,000 mi. 52% clean title, 41% salvage; Front End is the top damage (41%). Bids start at $325, and recent Mercedes-Benzes sold for a median winning bid around $4,400 before fees across the make.
The CLK-Class was Mercedes' mid-size coupe and convertible before the E-Class Coupe took over the role, and it's an older, low-turnover model in this pool now. Too few trade here in a given stretch to print a reliable per-model median, so pricing leans on the make-wide number: recent Mercedes-Benzes sold for a median winning bid around $4,400 before fees, and a car this age typically lands under that mark unless it's an unusually clean example. Most of these coupes and convertibles stay in the US with hobbyists and rebuilders rather than heading overseas.
Rust is the first thing to inspect on a CLK, especially on the W209 (2003–2009). Mercedes switched to a water-based paint process in the early 2000s that left several models from that era, this one included, prone to corrosion starting at the rear wheel arches and rocker panels — check those spots closely on any lot before you factor in body condition. The earlier W208 (1997–2002) runs a more conventional inline-six or V8 and is generally simpler to service, while the W209 offers a wider engine range including supercharged four-cylinders and V8s. The CLK55 AMG carries a naturally aspirated V8 that's mechanically straightforward but worth a service-history check regardless, since deferred maintenance on any performance engine gets expensive. On convertible lots, cycle the power top in any available video — the fabric and hydraulics both age, and a stuck top is a real repair cost. If the shell has rusted through or the drivetrain is shot, the non-repairable lots still carry value in the trim and drivetrain.
Buying is quick: register free — no dealer license — set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.

FAQ
What condition are these CLK-Classes in?
About 27 lots, 41% on a salvage title and the rest clean or rebuilt. Front End leads the damage board, and mileage averages around 142,000. Both coupe and convertible body styles turn up here.
Is a salvage CLK worth buying?
Often yes on a rust-free example with clean service history, though too few CLKs sell here for a per-model median. Recent Mercedes-Benzes sold for a median winning bid near $4,400 before fees across the make, and a car this age usually prices under that number. Visible rust at the rear wheel arches or an unknown-history AMG is where the math gets risky.
What should I check before bidding?
Rear wheel arches and rocker panels first, since rust is the classic W209 weak spot. On a convertible, cycle the power top in any video for stalling or fabric wear. On a CLK55 AMG, ask for service records on the V8. Cross-check the title brand against the damage photos; they don't always agree.
Can I insure and register a salvage CLK-Class?
Only after it's rebuilt and passes a state inspection — then most insurers will cover it, just not the company that totaled it. While it's salvage-titled it can't be road-registered. Check with your insurer before you bid.
How does the auction work?
Register free, no dealer license needed. Set a maximum bid and the system bids for you up to that cap, or take a lot at its Buy Now price. Win it, pay the invoice plus fees, then pick up, ship or export.
How do I check a CLK's history before bidding?
Every lot shows the VIN, damage type and title brand. Run the VIN through a vehicle-history report for prior accidents, mileage and title events before you commit.
What are good alternatives to the CLK-Class?
Buyers cross-shop the BMW 3 Series coupes and the Jaguar XK from the same era for a similar grand-touring feel.
