Mercedes clk 200 kompressor convertible
Hey everyone,

new to the forum have just bought my first Mercedes. It’s a 2007 clk convertible. Little toy for myself to fix up and have some fun with.

it’s a really good car only paid £850 for it and I’m well happy drives faultless.

hope all are staying safe at this time with everything going on and hopefully be able to get some help and tips from here going forward

thanks

Welcome JonesG, Sounds like you bagged yourself a bargain. £850 for a car that runs nicely. What 'fixing up' are you planning?

thanks yeah was a bargain. Going to refurbish wheels and need to sort issue out with the roof. I replaced pipes 65 and 66 and roof opens fine just won’t close correctly so need to try sort that out

Once it's working properly, the roof is an excellent feature. Down mostly, of course.

Keep getting error message says file too large. Sorry I’m rubbish at this stuff. How do I reduce the size
If using your phone, take a screenshot of the picture then upload that. If using a laptop then email the pics to yourself and choose “medium” for file size when you get the option of what size picture to send.

yeah will get it sorted just tedious. When try to close the catches close too soon before they reach the windscreen

A man goes to view a Porche 911, this year's model. The advertised price is £50.

It's a perfect example many extras. Low mileage. Even the fuel tank is full.

The seller confirms that she will accept £50 for the car.

Buyer produces cash and takes the two keys and log book.

Once he's sure he's got possession he just has to ask.

You know this car is worth a great deal of money, right?

Yes

But you sold it to me for £50.

Yes. It's a distressed sale.

Huh?

My husband left me. He ran off with a secretary half his age. He left me a note.

You can keep the house but sell the car and send me the money.
