Looking to purchase CLK 320

[Focus]

Looking up to £6k - have found these examples wondered if anyone had any thoughts or advice or if you know of any such cars available.

The alloys on this one would sell it to me but i think it is expensive?

This one also has nice alloys and 1 year younger - not sure if grey leather would be better as interior is lighter overall?

This one seems very reasonably priced and has nice AMG alloys also and light grey interior.

I know Valeo is not an issue with this model and that rust is but if there is anything else please shout.

Any experience on what an Indie will charge to inspect a proposed purchase? How much would it be to retrofit Command?

The v6 is called 112 and the v8 113 both engines pretty tough and then some, only problems you will ever get are misfire coil pack or plug lead or crank position sensor and maybe the maf and thats about it.

I would be concerned about two things 1, the rust and 2, the gearbox has it been serviced at all?

Last car looks pretty dull, first car looks nicest, first 2 cars have memory seat both sides controls on door card, comand not essential but i made sure when looking for both our cars that they had it fitted std lot less hassle.

Thanks, yes third one is more basic spec - didn't notice electric seats on James Paul CLK but can see the controls on the interior view.

None of these have tiptronic - should i hold out for that?

Part wooden steeering wheel - ummm - not sure!

The "y" reg CLK, being a year younger should make the better buy i guess and the AMG wheels are still nice, although not as sexy as those on the James Paul car - multispokes - mmmm!

Thanks for your two penny worth.

I think they do have tiptronic.
