Saab owner...possibly Merc owner....
Hey all.
I think i found a good deal on a 2000 Mercedes CLK 430 that I want to buy, but just wanted to run it by here to see what anyone might have to say. I have done some research, and this car seems to have high ratings, and everything I am looking for. Right now I own a 2004 Saab 93 aero convertible, and i love it. i want to try and get the wife something european, and i ran across this car in my town. it has 63000 miles, auto/maunal transmission, heated seats, pwr rear sunshade, moonroof, pwer memory seats, seems, like all the options. it has the AMG wheels, but i don't know if it has the AMG package or suspension that was offered. not really sure how to tell. they are asking 20, 880, and i went in today to run numbers, and of course they tried playing the normal dealership games, thinking i was stupid, but basicall long story short, 450 a month. anything i should look at in particualr, and off bat, does this seems like a good deal? when i test drove it i was really impressed. a lot of power, and handled great. thanks in advance, and hope to join the mercedes family here!

yeah, i really do like ours a lot. probably won't keep it past our warranty unless they come out with an extended warranty, but so far it has been really good to us. i hope this benz will be the same, but now i am really nervous about this rought idle its giving me...

Rough idle? like when you stop suddenly? Could be water in the fuel injection feed rails. A very common problem. They are flushable and a good fuel additive may correct this (try first). I need to flush mine and just haven't yet. Lazy and busy you know.
Also, you may want to check/change your air and fuel filter and look for a loose spark plug boot. Hope this helps and welcome aboard.

...no not when i stop suddenly persay, just when i come to a red light and am at a stop. the car shakes a bit, and the first time i noticed it, the tach was just a tad jumpy, and the temp rose slightly... then i took off, and everything was fine. from what i gather from reading online, it most likely could be motor mounts or MAFS. im just so nervous i just bought a lemon....
the dealership is going to look at it on monday, so the more feedback i get from you all the easier it makes it for me to tell them what i think it could possibl be. thanks for your response, i really appreciate it.
