2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK 320 review from North America
"CLK is great, read this review, nice car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Mass air flow sensor brakes, lights, 60000 mile service.
Looking like I spent a lot and I bought it used for 16k, new rims, so it looks like 08, no real problems...
General comments?
This car is very expensive if you go to the dealer, a rip off. I used to work for Mercedes-Benz dealers and can tell you it's just a car. I would change the brakes, sensors and service the car myself. The cars are built great and are advanced, but you can do the service yourself.
I went for 60k service and they told me 1800 bucks. I bought all the parts needed and did in the driveway for under 400. Parts are expensive but last twice that of a normal car, and I always use factory parts.
Love the car and will buy another used Mercedes. You get what you pay for, so if you want sporty, get a CLK for under 20k or get the E-class for under 20k. Anything under 50,000 miles will do, and get a Carfax and take the car to the dealer for inspection.
Great cars, last car was an Avalon and this is just as nice but sexy, fast, and fun. A five year old benz is nicer than a lot of cars and worth it.
