2001 Mercedes-Benz CLK 430 review from North America
"Exotic car speed for under $20k"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cat converter issue; covered by warranty.
Temp display LED dissolved; not covered any longer and too expensive to replace ($900 for the unit).
General comments?
Passes everything on the road except a gas station; bring lots of money.
Crazy acceleration from 70-110.
Quiet and comfortable.
