Hi Guys, just thought I should drop an update in. I finally found a suitable car to buy and picked it up yesterday. Its a 2007 CLK 320 CDI Avantgarde in silver with 67k miles on it & black leather interior. Body work is pristine with just a couple of tiny stone chips on the bonnet. 1...

Thanks mate. I've been advised that for this car with 120k mile pricing should be in this bracket. clean £7875 average £7175 below av £6375 Retail (this assumes ready-to-retail condition, no work required) £10365 Not really sure what to offer him if the car is right.

Well I just got off the phone with Mercedes H/O, they couldn't give me too many details as I am not the registered keeper of the vehicle although he did concur that there were a number of service entries on their system for the car, although he couldn't tell me exactly how many. He also...

It is the one in Luton and is not too far from me. I have asked for the VIN and if he gives it I will let you know what Mercedes say.

Well having just spoken again to the seller, he's had a look at the service book and it was last serviced @ 106k miles, next service due in approx. 1100 miles. I asked him how many services had been done and he said that it had gone through 6 services all at Mercedes. I asked him about the...

I'e driven a 320 petrol and a not very good 270 CDI so far. I've not tested the 320 CDI yet?

Yes that's the one.

Thanks again sweetpea, that's exactly the sort of advice I was looking for as I am so obviously a MB newbie. Is there anything else specific I should look out for apart from the service history?

Thanks again everyone for the sound advice, much appreciated, however I need some further information. I am going to see a 2007 CLK 320CDI which is 1 owner from new and has apparently done 122k miles with full MB service history. What questions should I be asking the seller? When should the...

Hello everyone, I went to see a CLK 320 at the weekend, it was advertised as a CDI but turned out to be a petrol. The seller mentioned that he prefers the petrols due to injector problems on the 270 & 320 CDI's. He said that the 270's especially were prone to this problem & expensive to put...

Thanks for the sound advice sweetpea. I've had a look around and seen a few 320 CDI's but typically they all seem to have mileage around 120k plus for 55 plate onwards. Not ever having bought a car with so many miles on the clock before it scares me slightly. What would your advice be?

Hello, I was looking for some advice on buying an 03 or 04 plate CLK 270 CDI. I am a MB newbie so was wondering what I need to look out for on a car of this age. I've done a little research and heard about torque converter & Valeo radiator problems. Can anybody expand on this and any other...
