I am planning to buy a 2002/03 (new/current shape) CLK, which is about £10,000-14,000 in price. I haven't decided yet on which engine to get because for that price i see everything from clk 240-500.
Now my concern is that this car was made at a time when Mercedes were losing their reputation for making reliable cars. Loads of faults would occur. Major one being, turn the key and the car doesn't start or driving then the engine shuts down.

I want a manual also. At first i thought "get a BMW 3 Series e46 model". Cheaper, more fun to drive (they say???) and no reliability problems, however it just doesn't look as pretty.

When buying a CLK, what should i look out for?

I invite your answers
