Hi.

Anybody selling, or thinking about selling a CLK320 or CLK240, (must be V6) it can be either w208 or w209 in or around the Southampton area for reasonable money?

Must have at least 9 months MOT.

Thanks.

There was a decent 240 cabriolet on AT just last week, silver blue and local to you. Private sale. About 4k

No S class then ?

Just looked on AT, lots within thirty miles, and that cab is 2.4k and been there a while

Thanks for all the replies.
Afraid my budget won't stretch to anywhere near 4 grand, sorry.

I'm looking at the 1500 or less market.....

And yes, I like an "S" w220, but again trying to find the right one.....

As they say, "All good things come to those that wait".

I've had a C240 and an E320 V6 with the petrol M112 engine. It's a great engine. My E320 (3.2 litre) E-class is more economical than my old C240 (2.6 litre) C-class was. The E32 engine has more torque and doesn't change gear as often, and it is quicker all round even though the E-class weighs more than my C-Class did. Don't worry about the fuel difference - they are both thirsty anyway.

The biggest issue with the 240 engine (in both 2.4 and 2.6 form) is lack torque meaning you need to rev it and that hurts economy.

That looks to be a nice car, good ole V8 too. Nice
The only problems we had with our W208, 320 in eleven years was the CPS, it went once and we replaced it.
Rust was the other problem, 2001 year.
Just make sure it all works, as you would for any car.

Good,luck with the viewing and purchase.

Oh, and the multi cd in the boot packed up, just replaced it with a single slot unit.

And no Star on the bonnet

Looks nice, rust is what I’d be looking for and that the heating system is all working. I see it has the full climate system and the displays can fail

Thanks.
He has confirmed that there is no rust and I cannot see any in the photos, (which are much larger and more on the sale site). I did ask about the CC as I know the buttons can break. All good apparently. The Star isn't missing, it has a flat type one fitted.

Looks a good choice. Rust rust and rust. That's all these really suffer from
