Damn! I was in Sunrise yesterday on Commercial. Saw a nice red CLS at the light on the other side waiting to turn. Once it turned the entire passenger side had huge dents & the door was mangled then as it turned, I saw the entire rear bumper missing & only 1 muffler.

Knock on wood whenever I venture out beyond my neighborhood.

You'd be good with the 03 6 Speed...transmission works great!

The other years are "hit or miss" I think...

They are easy to find.. maybe not in Canada, but if you're not stuck on a particular color combo, I see 'em all the time forsale...

35 on autotrader in the US:

There's probably like a 1/2 dozen forsale here in the black market forum.
