... I've traded in my CLK :(
I drove away from Newgate Motors (now Mercedes Chester) on 1 September 1999 in a brand new CLK320 Sport. Over the years I added 209 17" wheels and COMAND and treated it to regular coatings of Zymol.
And what a fantastic car it's been. It's let me down only once...
Having planned to replace the "family car" with a hand-me-down VW Passat from a relative, today I saw an M plate (facelift) E220 auto estate in silver, 168k miles and very tidy body (no rusty front wings) for £1300.
Nice and clean 8 arc alloys, worn-through drivers seat bolster but otherwise...
