Hi all, i'm Al from Gloucestershire.

Currently drive a Pug 406 coupe 2.2HDi (200BHP re-mapped)

Love the car but don't love fixing it on a weekly basis.

So, been looking at a CLK 270CDI.

2004, 75k miles. £8k.

Anything to look for inpaticular? Or are these Mercs bulletproof?

I've got plently of BMW 3 series experience and the Mrs has a 120d. All been faultless. But i fancy a CLK.

So folks, any help and advice much appreciated!

 

Hi Al I have a CLK240 2004 Cabriolet and my family on majority of cases buy Mercedes when looking for a car; some of my friends have also owned CLK's previously.

First, things you should know in my opinion:
1. I have found that CLK's (petrol versions not owned a diesel) do not deliver the MPG which MB claim that they do.
2. Sometimes in the coupes I have learnt that water can flood into the car but this is due to a simple reason that people do not clean the water drainaige system.

other than these issues I would say I have not had a problem with the CLK's, very good and reliable.
