Hey I'm looking at getting clk 430 anything I should know good or bad. What year is the best year and how is the maintenance. Thanks for your help

 

I currently own a 2001 CLK 430 with just over 30k miles</P>


There had been problems with the power seat, windows, fuel gauge, and 3 burned light bulbs (fog light, ash tray, dashboard). </P>


Luckily everything was fixed under warranty and I didn't have to pay a penny for it. </P>


Thinking about getting rid of this car as soon as warranty expires.</P>

 

You should buy MioCLK's. It's all fixed. <IMG src=smileys/smiley8.gif border="0">

If your considering a CLK and your a man.. CLK 430 or 55 only. Ultimate chick magnet!!! (smiles). I currently own a 2002 clk 430 silver/blk int w/ 15k miles on it. I, as the previous respondant,have had power seat and cup holder problems.</P>


If you can, try to buy one that is "starmarked" which covers almost everything bumper to bumper until 100,000 miles or 6 or 7 years i believe. The standard and starmark warranty comes w/ fluid and regular maintenance at no add'tl charge.</P>


Just a personal opinion, but i am strictly partial to the old body style 98-02 good luck &amp; write w/ any more ?'s Brian St Paul, MN</P>

 

Agree with you on the CLK body styles around '00....i have '01 430 Blk..i turn off the ESP & drive like hell....have to admit that the 'true' coupe w/o the window post looks good as well.....

 

This is really helpful guys thanks so much. Any other commetns would be great about the 99 430!
