Mercedes experts, can you cast your eye over this ad and tell me whether it is a good deal and what to look for on this car ?

On paper it suits my requirements, fancy an auto, still needs to be fast.

Two year warranty will be useful,

i will make the spare bed up mate

Make sure all the electrics work.

Scarily cheap considering how much that would have cost new.

Lovely engine (have same in my SLK55).
Check for roof leaks, apparently alot can smell musty and damp. if you can find a merc Indy nearby willing to to an inspection as part of a test drive, is money well spent. Genuine seller wont have any quarms agreeing.

as above, alot of car for the cash.

Did the CLK55 come with a supercharged engine?....

My CLK63 was totally reliable.

Eta..I've never seen a leaky CLK....plenty of SL55s, yes....

Thats the non Kompressor (Supercharged) 55, as with the C Class they never got the Kompressors.

Check rear arches for rust, door control modules that control the electic folding mirrors and the softclose windows and also check the rear SAM which controls the rear lights etc.

KInd of got put off the CLK with all the issues.

Every bloody car has issues. That's why I buy bargain basement. You are not let down when problems arise.

[KungFuPanda]

Even new cars have issues. I would have gone for it.

Also, why is the headline on the sale post marketing it as a 2015??!!

Yeah, service seems to be a bit hit and miss.

The 208 has issues, the 209 seems to me to be much better.
