- CLK 200 KOMP.A 2002 (1st Gen)
Evening all,
I've had a 2009 C-Class Estate CDI220 for 6 months, but have been compelled to give it to my wife. In return, she let me trade in her old Peugeot.
So I've picked up a 1st Gen (2002) CLK Kompressor. And this is where my questions start!
The registration indicates that it's a 200, but the numbers on the boot clearly state CLK 230 Kompressor. How can I establish for certain?
I immediately like the car a lot. It needs some tlc, but it's done less than 70k miles and has what appears to be a complete MB service history, (for better or for worse). My plan is to start with a serious service and investigation of the mechanicals and move onto aesthetics once I'm certain it's safe and sturdy. I currently know next to nothing about automotive mechanics and even less about MB, so this is going to be a steep learning curve and I'll be looking for recommendations for reliable garages and bodyshops in the East Sussex (through to Mid Sussex) area.
Nice to meet you all.
Ian
