Hi I'm going to look at a Clk320 convertible tomorrow with 70,000 miles on the clock.
It's a 1999 on a T plate(which i think is a W208 model?)
Can anyone give me certain area's to look at, i believe rust on the rear wheel arch's and boot can be a problem?
Are they mechanically pretty sound, the ones i have viewed look well made,especially the roof compared to the BMW's.
Just any advice please would be really appreciated
Thanks Paul

I would advise making sure there is a decent service history and that the roof works as it should. They are expensive to repair/replace. Rust is a problem (or can be) the wheel arches are the usual place. Some may have been repaired by MB as part of their rust guarantee.
