Hello from Spain

[-Elliot-]

Hi everyone,

I've just registered so thought I should say hello.

I'm from Liverpool originally but have been living in Spain for the past 6 years, and I've just bought an old 2001 CLK 320 auto very spur of the moment. Spanish car, 175k km, nice leather seats and sunroof. Never had a Mercedes before so am now frantically trying to read up about them as much as I can and prepare for what I've got myself in to. I realise this isn't the ideal way of doing things but it's done now. No doubt I'll have lots of questions once the car is delivered which I hope will be tomorrow.

Now I just need to work out how I'm going tell the better half

Hello and welcome,

It's the best way of doing things...
If you read all the possible pitfalls you'd never buy any car

Flowers and a meal out always go down well

Now I just need to work out how I'm going tell the better half

Tell the lass it's a present for her, sorted.
Of course it'll need regular test drives by you to be sure it's running correctly.


The things you do for the lady is impressive.

Hello and welcome

I don't think you will get to read too much on the CLK, just another good car like the SLK from Mercedes that never seem to go wrong.
However if you want one that is good to play with, may I suggest the r230..........

Thank you all for the welcomes! I've still not told her yet I think I'll just pick her up from the airport in it when she gets back in a few weeks. I mean really its her fault for leaving me on my own - right?

The car should be getting delivered tomorrow but I've already got some questions so will start a new post in the general MB related discussion section. Thanks again

If they’re technical questions please post them in the relevant technical section. It will save me moving them… (anything for an easy life…)

Sorry Blobcat I'd already posted before I read that. Not a good start is it - sorry again
