- CLK 230 Cabriolet
Hi,
I was driving home today when I spotted a beautiful 2001 CLK 230 Advantgarde cabriolet sitting on a garage forecourt.
Always liked these motors as my dad has had one from new in 2001 and still has it, and has never let him down. Anyway, I nearly mounted the curb as I rubber necked the Merc
and decided to go and have a look at it.
Bearing in mind the car is 12 years old it is in good condition, however it will have to go off to a bodyshop to get minor corrosion sorted on wheel arches and a poorly repaired stone chip on the bonnet, and off to an upholsterer to restitch a seam that has loosened on the drivers seat, but apart from that its mint.
It is a pastel pearlescent blue with a two tone grey leather interior, AMG alloys, blue roof, blue tinted glass and the usual body kit with 90k on the clock, all for two and half grand.
Feeling a little apprehensive as to the running costs, but gonna bite the bullet as it is so pretty and has such presence. Mrs loves the car but wants to know why I keep buying them i.e. already got a 2002 2.2 crd PT Cruiser that is customised and a 1963 Consul Capri that's also customised

pulled into a garage, roof down looking the nuts, then looked a fool as I tried to open the panel without success.
