CLK
Hi all,

I have been asked by my dad to have a look at a CLK 320 year 2003 for him. He is oversees at the moment and is looking for a car to use occasionally when back in the UK.

What should I be looking out for with this model/year?

I will check roof (leaks) etc and the wheel arches for rust, but is there anything else in particular that should be of concern?

Any help would be appreciated.

Many thanks

I have a 2004 cabriolet for sale but am not sure what the rules are on here for that.

Ours is 2003 - 50k miles. Roof works perfectly, has never leaked a drop, no rust anywhere. Only snag was a sticking park brake which was easily fixed following a post on this forum.

We have 16" wheels, wider at the back which seems a bit unnecessary, and frankly give a more forgiving ride, but look a bit small, but even 18" look a bit small on a CLK.

HTH, Andy

2004 might be better, is certain to be nano paint.
Check electrics, power steering wheel, memory seat if fitted.
I had quite a few electrical issues with mine.
Also check the rear side windows match against the front (is pillar less)

They are great cars with nice interior. The 320 engine is very nice.
Can you tell I miss mine.
