·hi. i wanted to trade in my 99 clk430 for a clk55. i went to a local dealer(not mercedes) which sells lots of used luxury cars as well as a host of economy, compact etc....they have porsche, sc430, m3....but marked up prices. anywyas, the dealer looked at my car and said 'your car is basically a 320 with a v8 because you have no sunroof. they are supposed to come stock. plus you have no xenons which is not too good either'. so i was thinking, a 430 without a sunroof is a 320body, then whats a 320 with a sunroof? a 430??? damn he pissed me off. so it got me thinkin, how else can i tell if my car is a 430? i heard 430's have chrome rings around the headlights. mine doesnt. did i get ripped off when i bought it? what else can show me that my car is a 430? it does have a bodykit and amg wheels on it. even the doorsills say'mercedes v8' on it. <br>
<br>
im trying to get a 2002 clk 430conv, clk 55 or maybe lexus sc430. they are all very nice cars. the dealer offered me approx 32000$ for my clk and it has 35k miles. its pretty much fully loaded except sunroof and xenons. where can i find xenons? i really want them. <br>
<br>
and about buying a new car. where i live there is 14% tax+ 3% luxury tax. when i trade in my car, what happens? say the new car i want is 85000+17% tax=pretty much 100000$. what happens when i trade in my car for lets just say, 32000$ what is taxable and what is not? do i take 85000$-32000=43000$+17%tax=50000$? or is it 100000$(incl tax)-32000=68000? cause thats a big difference. or does it just depend on where i live? thanks.
