Hi I am interested in buying the model in the title and would like to know if a car I am looking at is genuine. This is because it seems cheaper than other cars which are similar. It is a 2005 clk sport model with fmbsh and 45k on the clock and is advertised by a private seller for £7,000.
Thanks.

Any links? If you are worried, get it inspected by a good independent. Ensure all HPI and other checks are performed!

Yes you are correct manual MB's are not sort after, & the foot park break does not help.
It looks nice, get the HPI checks done & have a good look for accident repair.
Is the seller the owner, why is he selling it?
I dont know what the selling price is so I dont know if its cheep. Could you live with a manual? If yes remember it will be harded to shift when you sell it.

Its dear for a manual, most garages won`t touch them as they are almost impossible to sell.

why is that? Is there something mechanically wrong with manuals?

If you've never tried driving a manual Mercedes with a foot parking brake please do so.

That would answer any question about why the manual is difficult to sell.

My first Mercedes was a manual - never again
