CLK63

Thinking of changing my 2003 SL500 for one of these. Only because of needing 4 seats with the kids. Look great value or am i missing something?

I suppose my budget is £15-20k. It will be a weekend car and the wife will use it a bit as well when the suns out. I'm not going to be tracking it or blasting round Wales. More cruising!! Just thought the idea of a 6.2 V8 in a 4 seater convertible was brilliantly mad!

What other options would you say. BMW M3, Audi RS4?

Thanks for your feedback. I am very tempted. Need to go and have a look/drive. 4 seats is a must for me now. And I love the fact that if it was de-badged, not many would know it have a 6.2litre V8 in the front and nearly 500 bhp!!!

I had a CLK63 cabrio for around 10k miles / 2 years and while it had the odd electrical gremlin, I generally loved the car. The engine is a masterpiece and is right up there with the greats. The chassis is soft-ish so very comfortable for everyday driving. The cabrio is wobbly but I think they all tend to be, BMWs and Audi included.

I suspect it might feel a bit old in terms of infotainment but I’m sure you’ll enjoy it if you go ahead. Probably worth getting it checked over as would be the case for any 10 year old plus car.

By the way, it’s a proper four seater.

Thank you for all you responses. Off to Le Mans next week in the SL. If it's still for sale when i get back i'll go and have a look.

The one on ebay I linked to above is still for sale. Price is reducing all the time. Are they desperate to shift it or am i missing something? It looks great.
