Last night Mrs FS said it might be ‘fun’ to buy a soft top for the summer (possible French holiday) she likes the look of SLKs and CLKs
I’m torn!
but going to look at a nice looking CLK in white with a grey interior at lunchtime today(I dislike black interiors) it’s a 200 - I know that there can be issues with these engines, was there a year after which they sorted cam chain on the 200 and balancer shaft on the 350 etc.?
Ive also seen some nice 280s 320sand 350s on our price bracket. I suppose the 280/320 may be a nice smooth cruiser.
Then there are the SLKs - I suppose that dynamically they may be a bit more ‘fun’ and have seen a few interesting ones on offer - one being possibly a Brabus 350, and one a later (09) but has an ‘S’ category history -I think I may look at it, as if properly repaired at the time, it should be fine.
